On Day 4 of the search for missing college student Shane Montgomery, the 21-year-old’s family went to the banks of the Manayunk Canal as Philadelphia Police Marine Unit officers scoured the water in search for clues.
“I want to find Shane and I want to bring him home,” said Shane’s mother Karen Montgomery as she watched the search.
The West Chester University senior disappeared at the end of a night out with friends on Thanksgiving Eve. He was last seen leaving Kildare’s Pub on Main Street.
“It amazes me that Shane was out on one of the busiest nights — party nights for kids that are 21-and-over — and nobody saw anything,” said Karen Montgomery.
“He wasn’t inebriated, he wasn’t stumbling drunk, he seemed to be fine the last time people saw him, which was after 1 o’clock,” said Montgomery.
Shane, however, accidentally bumped into a DJ stand and was asked to leave.
“I can’t imagine that’s the last time anyone saw him on Main Street,” said Montgomery.
Hundreds of volunteers joined in the search all around the northwest section of Philadelphia over Thanksgiving weekend – as thousands more turned to social media using the hashtag #HelpFindShane.
“We are loved, “said a teary-eyed Karen Montgomery about the search for her son. “I always knew our community was a very tightknit community but never in my life did I realize that people had such big hearts and such love, even people that I don’t know.”
On Sunday, Shane’s family asked volunteers to take a step back to allow police more room to operate as they searched for clues. Montgomery joined other loved one’s as they watched police scour the Manayunk Canal for clues.
“I can’t express my gratitude to the police department,” said Montgomery.
Shane’s uncle Kevin Verbrugghe remained confident that Shane would be found Sunday.
“Shane’s somewhere, we just don’t know where,” said Verbrugghe.
Police wrapped up their search Sunday afternoon without finding Shane, leaving his family searching for answers.
“Shane would never, ever, ever, just walk away,” said Montgomery.
“No one disappears like this,” said Verbrugghe. “In fact, someone asked me, ‘did I think Shane would have went to the airport and gotten on a flight to California?’ Well, I’ll ask you, ‘do think someone would have seen him in the airport?’ Someone would have called us.”
Sunday night, the Fraternal Order of Police offered a reward of $5,000 for reliable information leading to Shane’s safe return, bringing the total amount to $15,000. Karen Montgomery asked that anyone who sees him call her at 215-920-2569. Anyone with information is also urged to contact Philadelphia Police Det. Valentino at 215-686-3353/54.

As the search for an area college student who vanished while barhopping on Thanksgiving Eve entered its fifth day, an online campaign to raise money for the man’s family took hold as Philadelphia Police and the FBI continued their search for clues.
Shane Montgomery went missing in the early hours of Thanksgiving after he was asked to leave bar along Main Street in Manayunk. The 21-year-old West Chester University senior had spent the night out with some friends.
"Somebody knows where Shane is," said Shane's Karen Montgomery Saturday. "Somebody has to know something so you can't stop... It's a matter of he's our son and I won't ever stop looking for Shane."
Shane’s family asked for volunteers to step aside Sunday so law enforcement could operate without interference. The family watched as the police marine unit searched in the murky water of the Manayunk Canal.
“I want to find Shane and I want to bring him home,” said Shane’s mother Karen Montgomery as she watched the search.
In hopes of allowing Shane's family time to search for him, a GoFundMe page was launched. By early Monday, the page had raised nearly $3,000 of a $7,500 goal to help out the Montgomery family as they continue to search for their beloved Shane.
“Funds raised will be used at the discretion of the family to assist them during the search process,” reads the GoFundMe post shared more than 1,000 times as of early Monday.
Within hours of Shane's disappearance, friends and family began passing out fliers in Manyunk, Shane’s Roxborough neighborhood and in other parts of the city and suburbs as the #HelpFindShane hashtag gained traction online.
"We're waiting for him to walk in the door, but you realize that each hour goes... it's just harder and harder," said Shane's father Kevin Montgomery.
A $15,000 was offered but still there was no sign of Shane.
Montgomery was last seen Thanksgiving Eve around 1:45 a.m. as he was leaving Kildare's bar. He was asked to leave the pub after he bumped into the DJ's table, his parents said. Sources also told NBC10 there was a fight outside the pub.
For two days, hundreds of volunteers and police searched for Shane before the FBI joined the investigation Sunday. An FBI spokesperson told NBC10 their task force is often involved in missing persons cases when the person disappears under "suspicious circumstances."

Family and friends have been unable to reach Shane on his cellphone, which was picked up by a cellphone tower in Lower Merion Township Thursday morning at 2:38 a.m.
Shane, who weighs about 140 pounds and stands 5-foot-11-inches tall, was wearing a buttoned- down gray shirt, gray hoodie and jeans when he left the bar. He also has a unique Celtic cross tattoo on his shoulder.
The Fraternal Order of Police offered Sunday evening a reward of $5,000 for reliable information leading to Shane’s safe return, bringing the total amount to $15,000. Karen asked that anyone who sees her son to call her at 215-920-2569. Anyone with information is also urged to contact Philadelphia Police Det. Valentino at 215-686-3353/54.
