[h=1]Do cash rewards actually help catch criminals?[/h] By Emma Hallett BBC News
- 24 June 2014
"For anybody that has got that information it might just be the trigger or tipping point for them to come forward," says Nick Howe, a former chief superintendent with Staffordshire Police and now a criminologist at the University of Derby
And yet, the fact is, where rewards are on offer, very few people ever claim them.
Crimestoppers - which takes statements anonymously - offers rewards of up to £1,000 for information that helps the police to make an arrest and charge.
More important is the ability to provide information anonymouslyIan Froggett, CrimestoppersBut it says fewer than 2% of people eligible actually claim a reward.
However, the police and newspapers, as well as other private companies, frequently offer large sums of money for information.
So what is the point of offering rewards?
The reason behind putting up the sum of money is straightforward - to create greater media opportunities to glean vital information and help solve crimes.
"If information can fast track inquiries - bearing in mind most major inquires/murder inquires are very expensive - there is an argument that... a short sharp injection of money can do that," he said. "I think you can argue it is good use of public money."
Crimestopper's operations performance manager Ian Froggett argued that rewards helped to keep crime lower by intimidating potential criminals.
Hindsight is 20/20.I'm not being argumentative, but just want to point out another perspective on this: maybe LE have their hands full most of the time and can't direct 100% of resources to every missing person all of the time. In other words, it's a heck of a lot easier to criticize actions after the fact IMO and I think it's more complicated than that.
JMO.
Has it been determined the girls were dumped at the scene after it was orig searched? I thought the property owner said his property had already been searched previously and the bodies must have been dumped there after.
So tragic. I am sick they have not made an arrest yet.
Looking forward to this, wondering how long it would take?..

So the girls autopsies must be made public I suppose
A law enforcement agency generally has the discretion to withhold investigatory records. (See I.C. § 5-14-3-
4(b)(1)) Investigatory records contain information compiled during the investigation of a crime. (See I.C. § 5-
14-3-2(h))
When a coroner performs a death investigation pursuant to (I.C. § 36-2-14-6), the materials the coroner
collects are investigatory records for the purposes of the APRA. Althaus v. Evansville Courier Co., 615
N.E.2d 441, 446 (Ind. Ct. App. 1993).
A coroner performs the duties required by (I.C. § 36-2-14-6) when investigating the death of an individual
who has died from violence; has died by casualty; has died when apparently in good health; has died in an
apparently suspicious, unusual, or unnatural manner; or has been found dead. (See I.C. § 36-2-14-6(a))
Even if a coroner conducts a death investigation pursuant to (I.C. § 36-2-14-6), the coroner must nonetheless
release information required by (I.C. § 36-2-14-18(a)
In regards to the "fanny pack", I saw a comment on a news post that the BG could be wearing a waist pack that hunters use to carry extra ammo, knife, etc. Here's a picture of a similar style. When looking into this, I noticed this color was often referred to as vintage tan making me think he has had it for awhile.

I also have very strong feelings about people in call in tips that really in reality aren't tips, they are opinions like " I saw the two still images and believe that the suspect has had knee replacement surgery and my friend made a video out of the two still pictures so from studying that, I believe that he's using a prosthetic leg on the right and may have had three toes removed on the left. " That Type of"tip" makes me SMH because I feel like the tipster may not realize that the police know more then we do. I'm sure the FBI is plenty qualified to study the evidence.
Fwiw, I would encourage anyone with a valid tip to call in though. If your thinking the suspect looks like your neighbor or sounds like your husband, by all means call it in! My personal opinion.....
End rant!
I think this video shows just how bare and open this area and the woods are this time of year! There really isn't much hiding in there in the winter.
