Jag,
Yes there were a lot of resources used but, the difference between this case and the Stow case...people willing to talk and tell. You have no idea the amount of information that came in on the Stow case. How much info do you think came in on this case? Two maybe three and yes maybe even NONE. As to why the amount of a reward...read up as to whom or who donated. Do you really think that some corporation is going to donate to an investigation that has no leads and no one willing to talk? Before you answer take a good look at the Stow case...all that money for a reward and it wasn't until the week of that word of an arrest came. We cannot sit here on this blog and compare cases. The amount of interest generated by any praticular case depends on public interest. The Stow case was unusuall. This case one of several hundred committed that year. You get me one person willing to talk and I'll open up the bid for a reward.
