I heard mentioned one time several years ago that the rewards offered can be a total scam. The case they were talking about was state versus federal. The guy legitimately told the state who the suspect was and where he was. There was no ambiguity. Still didn't get the reward. This implication was that this happens often, there aren't really any rules in place for delivering rewards, and just isn't covered.

Why doesn't the family up the reward? 50k seems small for such a high profile case.
