Crime Stoppers USA has an agreement with Lamar Outdoor Advertising to assist us with certain cases for no cost. The people at Lamar in Tulsa had the billboards in that area and were wonderful to work with. Also, in areas where Lamar has digital billboards they work with law enforcement on Amber Alert and on wanted posters.
When the billboard was put up in Henryetta there were certain guidelines that had to be met. One of the main guidelines is, Crime Stoppers offers up to a $1,000 reward leading to an arrest. Since this billboard is from Crime Stoppers the $1,000 had to be prominent. The $30,000 is from other sources and the anonymity does not go along with the $30,000. The anonymity only goes with the $1,000.
Crime Stoppers of Oklahoma worked with OSBI in making sure the billboard was placed in an area it would get the most impact. They do know that someone in the area knows who did it. It is our hope that this will help induce someone to call in with information.
Crime Stoppers of Oklahoma has started a Youtube site and our website at
www.okcrimestoppers.com has anonymous web tips. I hope this has helped answer any questions.
