The reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect or suspects in the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams has increased to $50,000, according to the Indiana State Police.
The increase is because of a $9,000 dollar donation by the office of U.S. Representative Todd Rokita.
There have been approximately 3,900 tips received via phone and email. Approximately 1,900 of the tips were received after the release of a voice recovered from Liberty German’s cell phone, the ISP reported.
The FBI is utilizing approximately 6,000 electronic bill boards, in 46 states, requesting information about this case.
