TULSA, OK -- A Tulsa wife is pleading for help.  No one has seen or heard from Ray Johnson in more than a month.  The business man's wife hopes a new reward of up to $50,000 will bring him home.

Tulsa Police fear the worst, but Adrienne Wherry is holding on to hope.  Money talks and she says now some small businesses, family and friends have pledged up to $50,000 to get someone to speak up.

Adrienne Wherry's other half has been missing for more than a month.

"It is tough with the kids and trying to run a business," said Adrienne Wherry.

She says Ray Johnson never would have left any of them behind.   Police suspect foul play after finding blood in Ray's abandoned car.

"He's a nice guy.  He's a business man. He's not a drug dealer or anything like that. I just couldn't imagine anybody wanting to hurt him," said Adrienne Wherry.

So, Adrienne isn't giving up.

"I'm just hoping he will come home. I'm just holding on to that," said Adrienne Wherry.

And the promise that family, friends, and small businesses will help get him home.  She says those who know and love Ray have pledged up to $50,000 to find him.

"I know someone knows something, and so I think that will help maybe someone come forward and tell the truth," said Adrienne Wherry.

Johnnie Ball is related to Ray.  He's pledged money and plastered pictures of Ray all over his business.

"I would challenge all other small business people to give money. I gave a thousand.  They could give anything they wanted to and that would bring it up," said Johnnie Ball.

So Adrienne can feel whole again and their children can have their father back.Anyone with information about the case can call Crimestoppers at 596-COPS. 

Tips can also be sent by text message to CRIMES or to 274637.  Make sure you start your tip with 918 so they know it's for Tulsa.
