KENT COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Kent County deputies are offering a big reward for information that helps solve a 30 year old missing persons case.

Deanie Peters disappeared back in 1981. The 14 year old was last seen at Forest Hills Central Middle School.

At a news conference Thursday detectives announced they've ruled out all their previous search locations and they're asking for new tips.

Also, there's now a $25,000 reward for anyone with information that helps them end the search.

"We actually have the ability now to do things we've never been able to do back in 1981. To devote five detectives full time for a year and a half on one case," said Cold Case Team Supervisor Sally Wolters.

One new lead involves a fight at Peters' school. It happened a few days before she disappeared.

Police want anyone with information on that fight to come forward as soon as possible.
