I have no idea if it is the reward money or not but this Geoff guy was on TV very early on when story broke locally at about 4:30pm and by time the 5:00pm news was on Geoff was on the TV telling his story about taking a picture of the truck and taking it up to the police station on Thursday., etc.
I have no idea if you are in the St. Louis Metro area. I am just telling you what I saw when the story broke in the local area.
If anyone is after the reward then it would have to be split up between Mitch Hult and this Geoff man. We all have to remember also that they were looking for Ben and not Shawn at the time.
As I've said repeatedly, Hadler's wife was also interviewed as the story was breaking on Friday. She said that they had called the police "hundred's of times" when they heard screams from the apartment. You haven't seen the media replay that one.
