Anyone with information can call (650) 522-7700, or contact Sgt. Kurt Rodenspiel at (650) 522-7662 or krodenspiel@cityofsanmateo.org, or submit an anonymous tip online or by calling (650) 522-7676. 

Police did not provide any further details.

They said they will release additional information into their investigation as it becomes available.
