information reward Nancy Guthrie has increased to $202,500. Fox News’ Matt Finn cited the Pima County Sheriff’s Office as saying an “anonymous” donation added $100,000 to the FBI’s existing $100,000 reward.
Someone below pointed out that the anonymous donor was actually Michael Hupy, president of Milwaukee Crime Stoppers.
Hupi also used to be interviewed Speaking about his donation, he said: “I was a bit shocked that they didn’t seek help from Crimestoppers in the first place, or earlier. I ultimately decided that if no one else was willing to do it, I’d better do it. They were sent to a place where they were paid, but no one knew their names, and if someone gave a false tip, they wouldn’t get the reward in advance because an arrest would have to be made.”
Hupi paid for it out of his own pocket, and the award allows people to remain anonymous. Therefore, valid whistleblowers can receive the money anonymously. The action drew a lot of attention to Michael Hubie on social media.
“It does take a village!” one person said. Another added: “What an amazing generosity.”
A later update noted that the current reward was reportedly $300,000 according to Michael Ruiz, Fox News. According to reports, 88-Crime, a program of the Pima County Prosecutor’s Office, has increased the reward to $102,500.
