[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3328436, member: 44328"] I've wondered about all that as well, I'm speculating, but this is what I've kind of assumed... I assume the police want to first, get ANY information (even if anonymous) to identify and locate a suspect. Once you have a suspect, it's probably easier to gather corroborating evidence independently from the anonymous source. You have a specific direction to go, at least. The hope would be that you could get enough for a conviction without using information from the anonymous source. Doesn't payment of a reward usually depend on conviction? If so, risk would seem to be relatively low. If you can't get corroborating evidence sufficient to convict, no pay out. They probably assume there will be some cases where there is pay out with no conviction, but are willing to accept the risk in hopes of solving more cases. I hope someone actually familiar with the process chimes in, as that all makes sense but maybe only in my head. [/QUOTE]
