KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- A neighbor has offered a $30,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of a 10-month-old missing Pennsylvania baby whose grandmother was found killed.
Police did not identify the neighbor who posted the reward money other than to say she is of Indian descent and has lived in King of Prussia, Pa., for the past 12 years, ABC News reported Wednesday.
Satayvathi Venna, 61, had been watching her granddaughter, Saanvi Venna, between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday when someone killed the grandmother and apparently kidnapped the baby girl.
An autopsy on the elder Venna was completed Tuesday, though the results have not been released to the public, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
King of Prussia police have issued no statement about who might have had a motive for the attack. Authorities used police dogs to search a wooded area behind the Venna family's apartment complex.
A group of about 200 people gathered at Heuser Park for a vigil to pray for the baby's safe return.
"We hope that Saanvi is returned so we can all celebrate her birthday ... together," said Sanikommu, a cousin of the baby's father.
Satayvathi Venna's father issued a brief statement Monday, pleading, "If someone finds my baby, could you please bring my baby back?"
