Missing Virginia cop's car recovered; Reward raised to $22K

NELSON COUNTY, Va. - A car belonging to Kevin Quick, a missing Waynesboro, Va. police captain, was recovered Monday but there is still no sign of Quick and a reward for information in the case has risen to $22,500.

Police searching for the 45-year-old Quick say they are developing a timeline of his vehicle’s travels since he was reported missing on Saturday, according to the Associated Press.

Quick left his mother’s home in Afton on Friday night and was going to the home of his child’s mother about 20 miles away in Albemarle County, but he never arrived.

The Rockfish resident’s vehicle was found Monday in a remote area in Mineral, which is about 42 miles away from his intended destination, authorities announced.

Police said earlier in the week that surveillance photos obtained in the investigation place Quick’s car in Fork Union on Friday and Manassas on Saturday.  Two men were also seen in the surveillance photos and authorities say they are looking to question them.

Waynesboro police Sgt. Brian Edwards told CBS News’ Crimesider Wednesday that Quick is a 24-year veteran of the Waynesboro Police Department’s Police Reserve unit. Edwards said Quick holds a volunteer position at the department but is still considered a law enforcement officer.

Edwards said Quick also worked with the Invista Corporation, a company which specializes in the making of synthetic products, but was laid off a few months ago. 

There have been reports that money in Quick’s severance package from Invista is currently unaccounted for. Edwards said those reports originated from a search warrant that was conducted in the first 12 hours of Quick’s disappearance.

The search warrant, made public by NBC29.com, not only references the “unaccounted for” severance package but also says that Quick’s credit card and phone have not been used since Friday.

The search warrant was filed to gain access to a bank account associated with Quick’s name.

The Virginia State Police are leading the investigation into Quick’s disappearance. State police told the Associated Press Wednesday they are getting leads but offered no other details. They did not immediately return a call for comment from CBS News’ Crimesider.
