Reward Offered To Find James Yablonski

The family of a Sauk County teen who went missing more than a month ago is offering a $10,000 reward to help bring him home. 13 year old James Yoblonski left home in a family vehicle late on the night of June 11 or early on the morning of June 12. That vehicle was later found near Devil’s Lake State Park. Since then, dozens of law enforcement officers and private citizens have searched the heavily wooded and hilly area for the teen, finding evidence of campsites but not Yoblonski himself. Officials have since said Yoblonski may be trying to live off the grid as a survivalist. Yoblonski’s father Bill Yoblonski said he established the reward “because there hasn’t been any more information leading to finding him. The reward, the elder Yoblonski said, is “to bring him home only — it’s not on tips.” While search efforts for his son continue, Yoblonski said it’s been more than two weeks since he’s received any tips in the case.
