Judge Alma Hinton has signed a gag order in the case of a missing Scotland Neck woman.
Town Police Chief Joe Williams said the gag order was issued to preserve the integrity of the case. Any information on the case will come from the Halifax County District Attorney's Office.
Law enforcement and other emergency responders continued their search today for Jalesa Reynolds. Information released before the gag order shows a search of IP addresses led investigators to discover the woman used a computer at a house on Cemetery Road outside Scotland Neck. Police talked to the person at that house and continue to investigate that lead.
Investigation also shows she frequented the Scotland Neck library daily where she used Facebook and other social networking websites. After visiting the library she would go to the satellite community college where she worked on her graduate equivalency diploma. The police department seized the library computer and sent it to the State Bureau of Investigation lab where agents discovered she used a computer at the Cemetery Road house. That computer was also seized.
A $500 reward is being offered and anyone with information is encouraged to call the police department at 252-826-4112 or Halifax County Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
