This gets stranger and stranger. I know Police must have a reason to turn down the offer but what on Earth is it?
I was wondering if someone had already come forward for the £5ooo but that makes sense.The only reason I can think of is that they have a pretty good idea of what happened so a reward will not be needed.

Because they know it won't help find out whodunnit?
A very warm welcome to Websleuths,

Good to have input from another local.
From BringMe's link above
very poor response ( lack of ) from the police if this is accurate ( no reason it shouldnt be )
but this line stood out
If I knew where Leah's family lived I'd approach them myself. all I'm trying to do is help."
That surprises me.
I can't comment on your bolded since I can't access that article, sorry.
JMOO but I understand plod are never keen on people offering rewards. There seem to be a lot of people that inundate plod with sightings, info, etc once a reward is on the table (why did these people wait to give information?) and understandably it can seriously tie up manpower and waste police time.
Any offer of a reward has to be done after serious consideration imo.
Again jmoo, but from previous cases phoning 101 with something important is not a great idea. For plod to eventually get the message takes too long understandably after all the filtering - ring a direct number or even 999 with important details, things do get missed. jmo.
But there is already a reward in place? Why not increase it?
In an ideal world there wouldn’t need to be an offer of a reward for someone to do the right thing, but here we are
The article seems to have been updated to state the police have declined the offer on the basis that they don’t believe a bigger reward will help
I understand logically about the police refusing the additional award. I don’t understand emotionally.
