NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — New video has surfaced of a Queens jogger minutes before her murder. 
 
 Karina Vetrano, 30, was murdered while running through Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach on Aug. 2. Police said she was strangled and possibly sexually assaulted. Her father along with authorities found her body hours after she didn’t return home from her jog. 
 
 New video airing on Crime Watch Daily, a nationally syndicated show, shows Vetrano jogging carefree down a street bordering the park, with her long hair held back in a pony tail and wearing ear buds. 
 
 The video is the freshest clue for the public to see in the now six week old murder mystery. 
 
 “You never know in the sense of somebody in Arkansas, some place that may hear something about it and come forward with a piece of information,” Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said. 
 
 The video was released with the approval of Vetrano’s family.

 “It was provided as part of the continuing effort, along with the rewards, to try and find out what happened on that day,” Bratton said. “I think we have done all that we can to try and keep that story alive in the public mind and consciousness because it spread such fear through the city.” 
 
 As CBS2’s Jessica Layton reported, Vetrano’s family hopes the video will inspire someone to come forward. 
 
 “Think that it could be your child,” Phil Vetrano said. 
 
 The video is one of the last images Vetrano has of his daughter. 
 
 “Very disturbing to watch that, to see her like that,” he said. 
 
 It’s what the video doesn’t show that has the NYPD and the Vetranos so puzzled. 
 
 “It doesn’t show anybody following her. It doesn’t show anybody in a car behind her,” Phil said. 
 
 Detectives have a DNA profile of Vetrano’s killer, but so far have no matches. 
 
 “If we encounter a new entry into whether it’s our own system, state system or elsewhere in the country that might be the case breaker for us,” Bratton said. 
 
 Standing on his front porch with a police patrol car still parked outside the family home, Vetrano said he’s hoping the video makes someone who knows something sympathetic enough to come forward. 
 
 He believes the person in a sketch who is wanted for questioning could provide the best clue as to who killed Karina. 
 
 “He’s not worth protecting,” Phil said. 
 
 In the meantime, the family has struggled to heal. 
 
 “Once this scum is caught, maybe we can begin to heal. But I doubt it,” Phil said. 
 
 The reward for information leading to Vetrano’s killer has grown to more than $300,000. A GoFundMe account set up by Vetrano’s family has raised more than $270,000, while a $35,000 reward for information is being offered by the NYPD. 
 
 On Sunday, Phil Vetrano said he’s considering hiring private investigators to aid in the search for his daughter’s killer. 
 
 Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or text tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577. ||||| A mysterious man whose likeness was sketched by a police artist could hold the key to solving the murder of a Howard Beach jogger. 
 
 Police released the drawing Wednesday of a potential witness to the slaying of Karina Vetrano, who was found facedown in Spring Creek Park on Aug. 2. Police said the bearded man was seen coming out of the weeds near the Belt Parkway around the time 30-year-old Vetrano was killed. 
 
 “We want to speak to this person because we feel that he was there,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said. “He is not a subject. He is not even a (person of interest).” 
 
 The gaunt-faced individual was seen by several people, including a utility worker in the area, Boyce said. He’s believed to be between 35 and 45 years old and about 5-feet-10 inches. He was spotted wearing a red shirt, dark pants and a wool cap. 
 
 Man could provide NYPD 'additional leads' in Howard Beach killing 
 
 Police released a sketch of a man they want to talk to about the slaying of Karina Vetrano. 
 
 The existence of the sketch was first reported by NYDailyNews.com on Tuesday. 
 
 A police source said the NYPD has already received a number of tips on the man’s identity. But as of Wednesday evening, cops hadn’t located him. 
 
 Hours after the sketch was released, Vetrano’s mother made an impassioned plea for the potential witness to come forward.

 “I hope that this man has the decency to be able to come forward to tell us if he saw or knows anything,” Cathy Vetrano said in an interview on Curtis Sliwa’s radio show. 
 
 Vetrano’s savage rape and strangulation has vexed investigators for weeks. 
 
 An avid runner, Vetrano’s battered body was found amid towering weeds about 15 feet off the desolate path she jogged nearly every day. Detectives have developed a DNA profile of the killer from material found on Vetrano’s body and her phone — but have found no match, police said. Investigators believe the murder was a random attack.

 Cops have received about 85 tips since the murder and are vetting the last nine, Boyce said. 
 
 The reward for information about Vetrano’s killer has ballooned to $300,000. Vetrano’s mom brought up the enormous reward in her plea to the man in the police sketch. 
 
 “He will be rewarded both spiritually as well as monetarily if he gets the courage to come forward,” she said. 
 
 The grieving mom also offered some choice words to the person responsible for killing her daughter, a restaurant worker who earned a master’s degree last year at St. John’s University. 
 
 The police opted to release the sketch, which had been in the possession of investigators for a few weeks, after video evidence failed to provide clues about the killer.

 Police Release New Video of Karina Vetrano on Day She Went Missing 
 
 What to Know New surveillance video shows Karina Vetrano jogging in her possible last moments alive 
 
 She was later found sexually assaulted and killed on Aug. 2 near her Howard Beach home 
 
 Police say it remains "one of the unsolved, very high-profile murders" 
 
 Police have released new surveillance video showing what may have been Karina Vetrano's final moments on Aug. 2 before she was found killed near her home in Queens. 
 
 The video shows Vetrano jogging near her Howard Beach home. She was later found sexually assaulted and strangled in a marshy area just off the trail at Gateway National Recreation Area. 
 
 NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said Monday the release of the new video is an effort to keep the case fresh in the public's mind. 
 
 "It remains one of the unsolved, very high-profile murders," he said. 
 
 A reward of nearly $300,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest. 
 
 Late last month, police released a sketch of a man in a woven wool cap they want to talk to in connection with Vetrano's death. The man was seen in the area around the time Vetrano went missing. 
 
 Police officials stressed at the time that the man wasn't a suspect or a person of interest in the case. The man was seen in the area around the path where Vetrano was last seen that day and was spotted by a utility worker. Police said that the man could have seen Vetrano or her assailant. 
 
 Authorities have culled DNA from three different investigative points -- Vetrano's neck, her phone and her fingernails. Police say the fingernail DNA is the strongest, and all the samples point to the same person, though the state and local databases have yet to yield a possible match. 
 
 Anyone with information on the Vetrano case should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
– A new possible clue in the "extraordinary case of murder" of Queens jogger Karina Vetrano, CBS New York reports. A surveillance video showing the 30-year-old on her run shortly before she was killed last month. The video is being shown with her family's permission on Crime Watch Daily, although dad Phil Vetrano tells CBS it's "very disturbing" to watch his daughter's final moments. The video, which shows Vetrano casually jogging down a street at 5:46pm on Aug. 2 near Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach, doesn't appear to offer any explicit clues as to what happened afterward—"It doesn't show anybody following her," Phil Vetrano says—but police are hoping it opens doors in the case. "Somebody in Arkansas, someplace … may hear something about it and come forward with a piece of information," Police Commissioner Bill Bratton says. Last month, cops released a sketch of a man they want for questioning, per NBC News. A reward worth almost $300,000 is being offered for info leading to an arrest.
