A $100,000 reward has been posted to aid the investigation of the disappearance of an MSU student who went missing nearly five years ago.
Krista Lueth, 34, was last seen on Nov. 11, 2008, leaving her house in Lansing. Although her body was never recovered, Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. Tom DeClercq said Lueth is presumed dead. Police believe she was a victim of homicide, and DeClercq said there is no indication the incident was random.
The reward was administered by Crime Stoppers, provided by an anonymous donor and posted Wednesday night.
Lueth was pursuing a secondary undergraduate degree in horticulture and had plans to achieve a masters degree. Lueth was not seen in her classes the day of her disappearance. Her car was left in the driveway.
“She was very excited about her future,” DeClercq said. “It was very unlike her.”
