Authorities are offering a $10,000 reward to help solve a missing person’s case involving the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl who was last seen in Mahoning County twelve years ago.

The U.S. Marshals Service and the Portage County Sheriff’s Office is offering the reward for information in connection with the case of Glenna Jean White who was last seen in 2009 in Smith Township.

Authorities searched for White for years but were not able to find her. The case was reopened in March of 2020 after an investigator on the Portage County Drug Task Force and the Portage County Sheriff’s office received a tip while working on an unrelated matter.

During its investigation, the task force gathered enough evidence for the Mahoning County prosecutor to indict Robert Lindsey Moore for White’s murder.

Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski stated, “When our detective uncovered this case, he knew it would be a long road to where we are today, but we know this isn’t the end of the road, there is more work to be done and we have some hard-working investigators who are not going to give up on this case until justice is brought to those involved.”

Moore, 51, was arrested last month in Alliance, Ohio, by members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force on charges of aggravated murder and murder, along with repeat violent offender specifications.

Moore had been convicted in 1993 of involuntary manslaughter in Stark County, Ohio, for the death of Virginia Lecorchick, 22, of Alliance, who had been beaten to death. Her body was recovered from Berlin Lake on July 10, 1993. Moore was arrested two days later. He served 15 years in prison.

“If anyone in the community has information about Ms. Glenna Jean White, we are asking that you come forward to assist in closing this case and finding justice for Ms. White’s family,” said U.S. Marshal Pete Elliot.

Anyone with any information that leads to White’s location is encouraged to contact the Portage County Sheriff’s Office at (330) 296-8626. Anonymous tips may also be submitted to the USMS via the U.S. Marshals Tip App.
