I’m obviously not Barry, so I’m just guessing here and my guess may or may not be close to the truth.
It’s possible BM said to someone he would put $ 100 000 up for reward and the friend said hold on I match that and so BM just announced it under the condition he wanted. After all in the moment of tragedy one would not likely argue about this with their distraught friend.
IIRC wasn’t the $ 10 000 from the fund? I could be completely wrong about this though
We had very limited information come to the media from BM and/or his spokesperson but the rewards for SM safe return were announced separately.
Nephew TN announced the reward by BM during his initial contact with media -- before BM was ever publically identified, and known only as "the husband."
The following day (about May 15), the generous reward match by a family friend was announced, also by TN.
I recall the $10k was added much later but it didn't receive much media attention. This did not come from the GET.
If interested, I'm sure the date can be found in the media thread.
MOO
