Conviction is required, and the informant needs formal recognition by the FBI as a recognized informant first. Karen just called 911, forfeiting the reward.
So anybody who is out and about and sees a fugitive with a publicized reward should know…don’t call 911. Call John Walsh, or pound sand.
Probably gotta call a specific extension that’s only staffed from 10am to 2:30pm with a 2 hour lunch from 11:15 to 1:15 on the first and third weeks of the month and 12:15 to 2:15 on the other weeks.
That’s hillarious. If this were a movie I’d call it bad writing. Heck almost any editor in the world would have it changed to a scene where the snitch is suddenly blinged the fuck out.

Because it would make for a more interesting story, even though that’s now how it works (fortunately).
Snitching on your neighbor because he kinda looks like the guy should not be rewarded. Unless he’s convicted, he’s innocent. Only if proven guilty you can say the snitch helped and give them their reward. If the person is innocent then the snitch did nothing more than just waste everyone’s time.
Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?

Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.
There usually needs to be a conviction before there’s a reward.
