There have been a number of comments regarding the MR being paid something for his part in this case. He found Caylee, and that changes the nature of the case considerably.
Many people/companies are "making money" off this case- the Orlando tv stations (increased advertising revenue), the tabloids, People magazine, Headline News and other cable networks, private investigators, police overtime, and...perhaps websites like this one. And, Tricia, and all mods, please let me say that I am not sure how it works, but is there not some monetary value to the increased number of "hits" Websleuths gets when there is a big case? I have no problem with any of this "money-making", that's just how the world works.
So how can it be a problem if the MR gets some sort of reward or other compensation for his part in moving the case forward? It's nothing he sought, and he certainly didn't want his life to be turned upside down as it has been.
Calling any money that comes his way "blood money" is wrong-headed and cruel, IMO. He seems to me to be more entitled than anyone else who is involved. That little girl might have lain there forever had he not found her.
