The 43-year-old Limerick mom was supposed to pick her son up at the school bus stop on Wednesday, Jan. 4, but was reported missing when she never showed, Daily Voice has reported.
The community has taken action since Brown's sudden disappearance, with loved ones and neighbors canvassing flyers, holding a candlelight vigil, and setting up a Facebook group to bring awareness to her case.
While some have grown frustrated with the apparent lack of investigative progress, DA Steele urged patience on Tuesday, Jan. 10 in a statement posted to social media.
"The investigation into Jennifer Brown’s disappearance is an active investigation and at this time, we cannot provide any specific details without jeopardizing our work," the prosecutor wrote.
"Our detectives are looking at all aspects of her disappearance and have interviewed numerous people connected to her life," he continued. "We have received hundreds of tips from the general public, but unfortunately none have provided any significant leads, and there have been no credible sightings of Jennifer to date."
In the comments section, Steele asked members of the public not to form search parties or otherwise privately investigate Brown's disappearance.
Asked if Brown is "into drugs at all," the DA said "that doesn't appear to be an issue in this case."
Meanwhile, Montgomery County detectives continue to investigate the disappearance. Brown's vehicle was found parked outside her home, and her work phone, car keys, wallet, and purse were all recovered inside, investigators have said. They still haven't found her personal cell phone, though police say there's evidence it hasn't been used since Jan. 4.
Brown is described as a 5-foot-1 white woman with brown hair and green eyes, weighing about 150 pounds. Her loved ones are offering a $15,000 reward for information that helps police find her, according to the DA.
Anyone with information should call Limerick Township Police at 610-495-7909 or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-226-5553.
