MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police reiterated information on Wednesday, May 4 that may help in their search for 23-year-old Emily Rogers – who was last seen near 25th and Becher on Tuesday, April 26.
Rogers is described as a female, white, 5'5" tall, weighing 180 pounds, with brown, medium-length hair, and brown eyes. Officials on Wednesday also noted again that Rogers was last seen wearing t-shirt, skinny jeans, black and gold Timberland boots (size 8 or 9). They also indicated Rogers has pierced ears (with no earrings) and an unknown tattoo on her lower leg.
MPD noted on Tuesday that there is reasonable suspicion to believe her disappearance is not voluntary and/or she is the victim of foul play.
On Monday, a close friend told FOX6 News she found Rogers' phone in some bushes near 36th and Branting. On that same afternoon, Milwaukee police searched Burnham Park, which is less than a half-mile from the 36th and Branting location. That friend told police Burnham Park was the last place Rogers' boyfriend was seen. Police combed the area with dogs and were there for hours.

"I’m going to assume they have some leads, but they’re not going to tell us because they don’t want us to mess up the investigation," said Ammie Rogers. "If you know anyone in the area and they have cameras, maybe you can check the cameras. Just searching and praying – anything we can do."
Emily Rogers' young daughter was found safe by police and is in the custody of Rogers' family.
