By the tone of Sills letter it sounds like he is saying a significant amount of money will make someone talk. What is the dollar amount that will make wealthy people talk? If I or family were worth millions, then $30,000 or $50,000 would not entice me to talk.

Therefore, is Sills saying the person he expects to tattle is not of the wealthy set?

I also think Sills should have a CrimeStoppers phone number so people could call in anonymously.

I really don't believe anyone has been holding out this long for a larger reward. Sounds like a desperate move IMHO

Your post made me smile because, because, because...you responded to gngr~snap's post about "Sills could have an unidentified fingerprint and he's just waiting".... and you would love to get your hands on one of those questionnaires,( leaving a fingerprint as well!) :) I know that's not a Freudian slip! I know you aren't implicating yourself! :) You're OK in my book! It was funny to me, though. Maybe I am tired....Maybe it's only humorous to me... anyways! Thanks for the smile!!

I have a question. Has WS ever helped in the solving of a case?

It seems we have such good ideas and come up with lots of maybes that a LE could certainly look into.

Just wondering.

I still think that Sheriff Sills has some cards up his sleeve.
I think divulging too much information would possibly hurt the case, so it might look like LE doesn't have a clue, but yet they might.
LE isn't showing their hand completely, in my opinion.
I hope there is a strategy, one that isn't being shown completely outright.
We can only hope, right?
IMOO.

:seeya: Absolutely, we can hope!

Well, here's some Trivia....
I did not know.....
" Though it has not been built on, the lot next door them -- a three-quarter-acre tract to the west of their similarly sized plot -- is owned by former R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills."

That is quite interesting. Must have been a golfer too. So now we are looking for hoodlums...

"The reward in a high-profile Putnam County homicide is every bit a plea for help, a call for answers, an incentive, and as the sheriff there not-so-delicately put it, for &#8220;some hoodlum to rat out another hoodlum.&#8221;

Hoodlums are a dime a dozen and come in all sizes, shapes and colors. I think it was an inside hoodlum with some help from an outside hoodlum. OJ is still in jail, right?

Good night folks! Interesting conversation. Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite. Oh yeah and lock your doors and keep the hoodlums out. Don't open your doors to nobody - even if they look harmless.

This is an wtf from the neighborhood. Zac Brown used to own the bar/restaurant within a 100 yards of the webcam referenced on this site. Lewis Grizzard recuperated from heart surgery near the Great Waters Clubhouse about a quarter of a mile from the Dermonds.. We all knew him On the dark side, Ben Roethlisberger owned a house In GW until he skulked back to a safe retreat. There are lots of successful but low profile people all around here.

As did AK serial killer Robert Hansen; 'Butcher Baker'. He owned a pastry shop in Anchorage. One of his victims escaped and went to LE. They didn't believe her because they frequented his pastry shop and knew RH well.. They Thought..

ooh, gotta check that out, very interesting, I swear people think because someone acts nice that the are free of any faults ! I just wonder if we dont' really know the D"s, the neighbors may not really know the D's, they be nice and friendly but not really letting the neighbors get too personal, IDK, superficial like.

SO, also, was thinking, this case seems isolated, anyone else think so? I mean there is not another similar or anything to compare it to that I've heard or seen, nothing to link it to in another area or weapons or type of murder etc, to even consider if it's serial or personally targeted or to rule anything in or out. If the knew the tool used for trauma to the head, they could possilby link another crime elsewhere to this one

Ugh, getting tired, dont' think I"m making sense ! :blushing:

RE: Robert Hansen
Yes, gngr~snap, this be he. The Frozen Ground Movie which was filmed in Anchorage, was set to be released on the day SK Israel Keyes committed suicide in his Anchorage, AK jail cell. SK Gary Hilton(pvt pilot), emulated Robert Hansen. SK GMH came up with the plot, found the cabin, and helped write the script for a movie; 'Deadly Run' 1994-filmed in north GA; 'hunting humans'. GMH's defense Attorney/Associate produced the movie;

I missed the beginning of Richard Elliot's report on WSB so this is an incomplete summary.

Elliot reported that Sills says they are still pursuing leads, including waiting for subpoenaed documents, but he says phone calls have dried up and that's why he sent the open letter asking for donations to a reward fund. They already have $30,000 from Reynolds Plantation and another $13,000 promised from local businesses.

According to Sills, they are not getting calls from the public like they were and that is one of the reasons for this reward program.

Elliot asked some Putnam County residents what they thought of the donation request and most liked the idea and said they would contribute.

Total committed to the reward fund right now is $43,000.

How close do the states ME's work to this neighborhood? In other words how close is the MEs office/lab from the D's home?
Any chance a ME lives in the neighborhood?

Imo, the raising of the reward by the Honorable Sheriff Howard Sills is an excellent idea for various reasons. The primary reason is that it will place the Dermond murder investigation back in the news. Awareness is the key in missing/murdered persons investigations..
The American public is a very valuable investigative resource..

It might get people talking... about who donated how much and when... well gossiping and in turn keeping attention on the Dermond's
