Philadelphia bartender abducted at gunpoint, anonymous donor offers $10K reward

A Philadelphia bartender was forced into a black SUV at gunpoint March 31 on his way home from work and hasn’t been heard from since, according to police.

An anonymous donor has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to 48-year-old Wey Um’s whereabouts through the Citizens Crime Commission of Delaware Valley, a spokesman for the nonprofit told Fox News Digital.

“There is no trace of him,” Philadelphia Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said after his abduction, according to FOX29. “There are no phone calls. There’s no evidence that he’s at a hospital or injured. So, we’re very concerned for his well-being.”

“Is this a robbery or is this something else, we just don’t have it,” Vanore said. “It’s obvious they were looking for him. They pulled up and took him immediately. But, we just don’t know what the motive is yet.”
