HOWARD COUNTY, Md. — Police are offering up a reward for anyone who can identify a woman who may have "critical knowledge" involving a child sex abuse investigation.
Maryland State Police released photos on Tuesday of a woman they believe could have information in the case, and they're offering a reward of up to $14,000.
The woman was captured in video screenshots from 2020. She has distinctive tattoos including a chest tattoo and multiple arm/hand tattoos. One wrist tattoo appears to read “12-17-16.”

Anyone who can provide information related to the identity of the person depicted in the photographs may be eligible to up to $14,000 in reward money, funded by the Maryland Department of State Police, Howard County Police Department and Metro Crime-Stoppers Maryland.
