Family Increases Reward For Missing Mom of Three

BUFORD, GA — The family of a missing Gwinnett County mom has increased the reward for information about her whereabouts to $10,000.

Tosha Herron, 36, was last seen on October 7 when she dropped her children off with her estranged husband in Lawrenceville and left to visit a friend in north Georgia.

Her car was later found having apparently gone off the side of a mountain road in Lavonia, up Interstate 85 in northeast Georgia's Lumpkin County.

Her family said she was planning to visit friends in Blue Ridge.

Lumpkin County authorities say an extensive search was conducted in the area of her car, but that she was not found.

On a Facebook page dedicated to finding Tosha, her family upped the award for information about her to $10,000 this week.

"Maybe $10,000 will help them come forward," reads the post. "Please keep sharing and praying."

Family members fear someone may have abducted Tosha after her crash, or that she may be somewhere and not know who she is.

In recent weeks, the family received more than one tip that she may have been spotted in the Gainesville area.

According to the original missing-person report in Gwinnett County, Tosha dropped off her two children in Lawrenceville with her estranged husband at about 6 p.m. on October 7.

The two had a verbal argument and she drove away, the husband told police.

Anyone with information in the case, or who thinks they may have spotted Tosha Herron is asked to contact their local authorities.
