PSP offers $5K reward for information on Clearfield woman missing for 50 years
Katherine Jones, 29, disappeared from Clearfield County with an unidentified man, who was believed to be her fiance, Sept. 27, 1974. The man, who has yet to be identified, was noted to have dark hair and a mustache, with one of Jones's friends noting that he was driving a red Volkswagen 113.
Before leaving Jones left her four children with a friend, who told investigators that Jones was a dedicated mother and it was uncharacteristic of her to abandon her children. Several of Jones's family members told police that they received a note from her stating that she left the children because of her 'impending marriage plans' and that she planned to return for them in October 1974.
None of Jones's loved ones knew who she was dating in 1974. Investigators now believe that there was foul play involved in her disappearance, as the case remains unsolved.
Jones was noted to be a white female with brown hair, green eyes, around 5'0″ – 5'4″ and weighed between 104-114 pounds. Her nickname was known to be 'Kathy' and her maiden name was listed as 'Golemboski.'
In May 1975, Jones's family reported receiving a telegram from her which was marked as coming from New Jersey. However, a friend of Jones later told police that she had sent the telegram on Jones's behalf.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PSP Clearfield at 814-857-3800 or online. All callers could be eligible for a cash reward for information that leads to the solving of a cold case.
