Crime Stoppers offering $2,500 for information related to Cristina Ase missing person case

Crime Stoppers of Oregon and the Vancouver Police Department are now offering a $2,500 Cristina Ase.

Ase, a nursing director at the Rose Linn Care Center in West Linn, has been missing since March 26.

Secure and anonymous tips can be left at www.crimestoppersoforegon.com.

Ase’s co-workers and friends at Rose Linn are devastated by her disappearance and hope she returns home soon.

“She is a special person who deserves to come home,” Amy Schauer, a co-worker of Ase’s for reward for any information that may lead to an arrest of a suspect in the case of missing woman the past 15 years, previously told the Tidings.

Schauer and Nicole Oquist, another of Ase’s co-workers working to find her, also recently linked up with United Search Corps, a nonprofit dedicated to solving cold cases and finding missing persons.

Last week, a police affidavit for a search warrant revealed new information about the circumstances surrounding Ase’s disappearance.

Police say she left her Vancouver home around 6:30 a.m. March 26, but instead of driving straight to work in West Linn she stopped near Glenwood Park in southeast Portland for about three hours. She texted her boss saying she would arrive at 8:30 a.m., an hour late, but never arrived.

According to the affidavit, Ase had spent time in the Glenwood Park neighborhood on three previous occasions within a month of her disappearance.

The affidavit also mentioned curious findings from Ase’s car, which was found parked on the street outside her home the day after she went missing. The affidavit noted a powdering white substance, consistent with a cleaning agent, found on multiple surfaces inside the car.

The affidavit disclosed that police believe Ase’s disappearance is due to “a serious crime or immediately dangerous medical emergency.”
