He may be different from the Sheriffs in your state but if you come from Georgia he isn't different at all.
It doesn't matter what is being chattered about on SMS concerning the children. What matters is Sills has never even hinted they have any involvement at all in their aging parents' murders. Here at WS they are considered off limits since they have never been named even a POI much less suspects. They are considered grieving family members here who have lost both of their parents to a murderer in the most painful way possible.
Its obvious that Sills really knows rewards like this rarely if ever works. He has been a law enforcement officer for 40 years and he said this is the first time he has gone with a reward.
Here is a link to a lawyer who has researched many many criminals cases that have had a high reward attached to them that have never been collected and he says rewards like this don't work because often the only one that knows anything is the killer themselves.

He also said when family members put up reward money they do so because this is a way to hide their own involvement in the crimes.
Do you know no one ever came forward to collect the 27 MILLION dollars that Osama Bin Laden had on his head for years before he was finally killed by the Navy Seals even though many knew exactly where he was?
I have never ever believed the family has any involvement in these murders neither done by themselves or them hiring a hit man.
The way the murderer carried out these crimes are totally counterproductive for family members who murder for financial gain. That is why I excluded them very early on.
