Bar Where Missing Man Was Last Seen Offering $10K Reward For His Safe Return

The bar where a missing college student was last seen early Thursday morning is offering a $10,000 reward for his safe return.

Shane Montgomery, 21, did not return home after spending Thanksgiving Eve out with friends at Kildare’s Pub on Main Street in Manayunk. The Roxborough resident and West Chester College student was last seen around 1:45 a.m. Thursday, when he was escorted out of the bar by a bouncer after he bumped into a stool. The FBI is now involved in the search, which is in its fifth day.

In a Facebook post Monday, Kildare’s said it takes “every aspect of customer service and safety very seriously. The disappearance of Shane Montgomery is extremely upsetting to our staff and management, this hits home for us because one of Shane’s family members is an employee at Kildare’s Manayunk.”

The restaurant said it is “working closely” with the Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI to find Montgomery.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Shane’s family during this time. Shane was a well liked, friendly customer known to our staff and the establishment next door.”

Montgomery is described as 5’11” tall, about 130 pounds with short brown hair and green eyes. He has a tattoo of a Celtic cross on his shoulder blade. He was last seen wearing a gray button-down shirt, blue jeans, a gray hooded sweatshirt and black sneakers.

The $10,000 contribution brings the total reward money up to $25,000. Montgomery’s family and police have pledged reward money also.

Montgomery’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for reliable information about his whereabouts.
