Family and friends of 38-year-old Jennifer Huston are still searching near and far both on the ground and on social media to try and locate an Oregon mother of two who vanished without a trace on Thursday after she left the families home to run errands. As Salem-News.com was first to report, the family posted Sunday on the Find Jennifer Huston Facebook page, that they are offering a reward for information that bring Jennifer back home. At a press conference on Monday, investigators say Huston was caught on surveillance video at a Newberg bank about 10 minutes before surveillance cameras again captured her at the Circle K - 76 gas station in Newberg, Ore. around 6:22 p.m. Her cell phone has been turned off or deactivated, and so far nobody has used any of her credit cards police said. Arrangements have been made for a prayer service at a Newberg church on Tuesday. The community is invited to the service to be held at Hillside Church, 611 N Main Street, in Newberg at 7:00 p.m. Huston, a stay at home mom, of two boys ages 3 and 6, is described as white, average build, 5'7, should length blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing black yoga pants with black and pink Nike running shoes. If you see Jennifer, or her vehicle, call your local police department immediately, 9-1-1, or the Newberg-Dundee police at 503-538-8321. Jennifer's husband Kallen said, "We miss her very much, and me and my two boys really, really need her back home." Surveillance video shows Huston purchasing gas Thursday and she appeared to be alone Newberg-Dundee Police Captain Jeff Kosmicki said. He added that as of this time, there is no known criminal nexus to this case, nor is there any known threat to the public. The case is being handled as a missing persons case. If you see Jennifer, or her vehicle, call your local police department immediately, 911, or the Newberg-Dundee police at 503-538-8321. Family members said Jennifer's actions would normally be to head for the Fred Meyer store in Newberg after she got fuel, or head for the Sherwood - Tualatin area. Family members are also asking for donations to help offset the costs of finding Jennifer. You can make donations at: www.gofundme.com/c56wyk

Photos captured from a gas station surveillance camera in Newberg show the last moment family members know about in the mysterious disappearance of a Dundee mom and wife. Jennifer Huston, 38, used her credit card to purchase gas at the Newberg Circle K gas station around 6:10 p.m. Thursday. She has not contacted her family since then, and that was the last time her credit card was used, authorities said. Before getting gas, Huston withdrew a small amount of money from a local bank, according to investigators. Police did not say how much money she took out of the account. According to a police timeline, Huston left home that day around 5:45 p.m., planning to run errands. She entered the bank around 6 p.m. and gassed up her SUV at 6:10 p.m. Her phone stopped working at 6:25 p.m., according to investigators, and no one has heard of her since. Police who studied the surveillance video said they were confident Jennifer was the only person in the vehicle when it pulled into the bank and the gas station. "Jennifer wouldn’t willingly drive off,” her dad, Bill Turner, told KGW Monday morning. Turner said the hardest part for the family is that they have already searched everywhere they could think of, and they have no idea where to look next. Still, he said family members were working to get another search effort organized. “Anyone that's driving home from work or going anywhere, from lunch, look off to the right, look off to the left," Kallen Huston said Monday. "See if you can tell if shrubs are disrupted, maybe small trees knocked down where it would appear as if a car had driven off or crashed. Her car is fairly large so it would make a pretty good hole...look to see if maybe her car is tucked away behind a garage or something.” Kallen added that Jennifer had been complaining about a headache that lasted three days, but she did not have any other known health issues. Now he's worried that headache could have something to do with her disappearance. "She's a devoted mother. She's just a completely wonderful person," he said, wiping tears from his eyes. " “We have amazing family and friends. People who we don’t even know are helping.” Jennifer Huston drives a dark green 1999 Lexus SUV with Oregon License number WXH 011. She was wearing black yoga pants one the day she disappeared, along with a black zip-up sweatshirt and Nike tennis shoes that were black and pink. The family has been posting updates on the Find Jennifer Huston Facebook page. Anyone with information about her whereabouts was asked to call Newberg-Dundee police at 503-538-8321.

Police are following up on a possible sighting of a 38-year-old missing Oregon woman, Jennifer Huston, boarding a car ferry in Washington – 300 miles from where she was last seen on July 24, pumping gas at a Circle K and buying snacks and over-the-counter sleeping pills from Rite-Aid in Newberg, Oregon. A couple told police they spotted a woman fitting her description – a blonde female in her 30s in a car that matched the make and model of Huston's green Lexus, even down to the cracked window – on board a ferry from Anacortes, Washington, to the San Juan Islands. "The information that we've received is that there was a female on the boat, on the 9 o'clock ferry sailing from Anacortes to Friday Harbor on Thursday morning, July 31," San Juan County Undersheriff Bruce Distler told KPTV Fox12 Oregon. The witnesses also described the married mother of two as having a white Band-Aid on her left cheek. "It's not something that's just another tip, it's something that is serious enough that we're gonna take a look at it and make sure everything pans out," said Distler. The Washington State Ferry office and San Juan Sheriff deputies are recovering internal surveillance tapes, so they can confirm whether the woman is Huston. Police called off the search in Yamhill County, Oregon, Friday after several aerial searches found no trace of Huston. "It's been an emotional time for the family. Lots of ups and downs," Kallen Huston, Jennifer's husband, told Portland's KATU on Sunday morning. "These leads get us excited for a short bit, then reality sets back in and it's been difficult." The couple have two boys, aged 6 and 2.

There is no information to confirm missing Dundee mom Jennifer Huston is in the San Juan Islands, despite a tip that she was spotted on a ferry last week. Bruce Distler, the undersheriff on the San Juan Islands, told KGW Monday night that deputies will continue to "remain alert looking for Huston" but so far, they have not been able to confirm the report that she rode on a ferry last week. Huston, 38, has been missing since Thursday, July 24. She left home to run errands and never returned, according to her husband, Kallen. Her family told police she loved the San Juan Islands and the area was added to an extensive search list last week. Kallen was hoping she was there after two people on a ferry reported possibly spotting her and her Lexus SUV. "Everyday is a roller coaster ride. I mean emotionally we're exhausted but we're not going to give up," Kallen said, wearing a brightly colored shirt with a picture of his missing wife on it. "Obviously at first, you can't help but get excited, but there have been so many leads that have turned out to be false." Investigators with the San Juan Sheriff's Office and the Washington State Ferry have reviewed some security video after Thursday's possible sighting and said so far, they have not seen Jennifer in the video. They did not elaborate on how much, if any, remaining video still needed to be checked. Monday marked the 11th day since Huston vanished. If she's not found soon, her husband Kallen said she'll miss some important family milestones. "Our ten-year wedding anniversary coming up on August 14th. We've also got a couple of birthdays. Our two little boys are going to be turning a year older here in the next month. "There are lots of great reasons to try and get Jennifer back home but we won't need those reasons to celebrate if we can get her home," he said, while choking back tears. The stressed spouse said that while hundreds of tips have poured in, the ferry report is the first where witnesses “identify her AND the car. “Every other tip we’ve gotten through Facebook, Twitter and beyond says, ‘Hey, I saw her, but she’s got a haircut,’ or ‘Hey, I saw her but she has tattoos now’ … every day we’re waiting for some clue that we can jump on. The husband added, “I find it hard to believe that she made it that far and nobody saw her, but if it’s true, it gives us an area to narrow in on, and that’s what we need right now.” Relatives said there’s an established connection between Huston and the San Juan Islands, as the Tacoma native — a mother to two sons ages 6 and 2 — had previously spent time in the area. “It’s not something that’s just another tip,” San Juan County Undersheriff Bruce Distler told the station. “It’s something that is serious enough that we’re gonna take a look at it and make sure everything pans out.”

The body of Jennifer Huston, a married mom to two young boys who had been missing since July 24, was found in Sheridan, Ore. Tuesday morning, said Newberg-Dundee Police. There are no signs of foul play, said detectives. An Oregon mother who mysteriously vanished nearly two weeks ago while running errands has been found dead near her SUV in a remote, wooded area, authorities said. The body of Jennifer Huston, a married mom of two young boys, was recovered in Sheridan, Ore. Tuesday morning, approximately 24 miles south of her Dundee home, said Newberg-Dundee Police. There are no signs of foul play, said detectives. The 38-year-old mother was last seen driving her 1999 Lexus SUV on the evening of July 24. Jennifer Huston, last seen in a Newberg, Oregon stopping at a Rite Aid to purchase Trail mix, Gatorade, and over-the-counter sleeping pills. She told her husband she was going to run some errands before being captured on surveillance video at a gas station and Rite Aid convenience store while purchasing trail mix, Gatorade and a sleeping aid — items her husband called not out of the ordinary. "It was a hot day. She grabbed a Gatorade. We do have trail mix in the house from time to time, and the sleep aids — I think it was just due to the fact that she had headaches for the last three days, and she just wanted a good night's sleep," her emotional husband, Kallen Huston, said at a press conference on Friday while begging for her safe return home. "She loves me. She loves the boys," he said. The vehicle was reported to police by the property's owner around 10:30 a.m. The vehicle was found empty, but Huston's body was found a short distance away.
