$15,000 Reward Offered to Help Find Apryl Foster

As the search for a missing Brandon woman continues, the Tampa Bay area is rallying behind law enforcement efforts to find her.

The Gonzmart family has stepped forward to offer a $10,000 reward for information that leads to Apryl Foster’s whereabouts. Premier Beverages has also kicked in $4,000 to assist in the search. Foster’s parents, Craig and Peggy Beman, have offered another $1,000, the Tampa Police Department announced Tuesday morning.

Clear Channel Outdoor is also donating digital billboards to help spread the word about Foster’s disappearance.

Foster, 33, who works at the Gonzmart family owned Ulele restaurant, hasn’t been seen since 2:30 a.m. Thursday when she left a Ybor City bar.

While police have found no evidence of foul play, Foster’s disappearance is out of character, making detectives concerned about her safety, an email to media from the department stated.

Foster, the department stated, typically texts or calls her mother at least once daily, but hasn’t had contact with her since Wednesday and friends haven’t heard from her either.

“She also wouldn’t leave her cats this long without care,” police wrote in the email. “She is a trainer at Ulele and is known for her work ethic and has never missed work without calling.”

Police say they’ve interviewed Apryl’s friends, family, her estranged husband, boyfriend and others who came in contact with her Thursday morning. All, they noted, have been cooperative with the investigation.

Anyone with information about Apryl Foster’s whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS or the Tampa Police Department at 813-231-6130.

Foster may be driving a 2009 red Chevy Aveo hatchback with Florida tag number K125YC. The car has a Huskers front plate.
