$100,000 MISSING PERSON REWARD

$100,000 reward offered in case of missing Montana Tech student Joshua Haight, 21 who was last seen when he was dropped him off in downtown Lewistown on July 13, 2005.

A Philadelphia businessman known for his financial assistance in high-profile criminal investigations is providing $100,000 for information about the disappearance of a college student here.

Joe Mammana offered the money as police continue investigating the disappearance of Joshua Haight, 21. Haight was last seen when a person dropped him off in downtown Lewistown on July 13, said Capt. Dave Sanders of the Lewistown Police Department.

Mammana, who has provided reward money in the Natalee Holloway investigation in Aruba, told the Lewistown News-Argus a local clergyman requested his help.

JOSHUA HAIGHT was last seen at 1:00 p.m. on July 13, 2005. He was dropped off by a friend at the intersection of First Avenue and Main Street in Lewistown, Montana, and has not been seen or heard from since. The last time he was seen, Joshua was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt. Joshua has a scar on his left leg, and an artificial left eye. Joshua’s nickname is Josh.

Joe Mammana has done some real good in helping offer reward money to hopefully get some type, any response to the where abouts of missing people.

“I believe in putting large rewards out to gain information,” said Mammana, an egg tycoon. “I feel it will turn a mother against a son, friend against friend and brother against brother.”

Foul play has not been ruled out in the Haight case and “we have a person of interest,” Sanders said Wednesday. He said it would have been uncharacteristic for Haight to simply leave here without telling others of his plans. Haight, a Montana Tech engineering student, left his wallet and other belongings at home.

Circumstances: Alford’s biological mother, Jennifer Rodriguez, was jailed by a Staten Island family court judge who believes she is hiding the child from police. She is being held in contempt of court.

Her son was placed with a foster family last month after the 23-year-old mother was arrested on theft charges.

Police are now offering $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person who may be responsible for his disappearance.

$5,000 MISSING CHILD REWARD

The details surrounding the disappearance of four-year old Daniel Barter (see age enhanced image)  50 years ago have been washed away by time. In the summer of 1959, Barter and his family were enjoying a camping and fishing trip near Perdido Bay, AL when the little boy went for a walk in the woods…and vanished.

Five decades later, the cold case is heating up. Tuesday night, the hit CBS series “Without a Trace” featured the Barter case which could jump-start a new investigation.

“I don’t know why they haven’t found any remains,” says Foley insurance agent Charlie Hebert. Hebert was Baldwin County’s Civil Defense Director in 1959 and remembers organizing a search for the little boy. “The military went in the woods hand-in-hand through the woods. It was very dense undergrowth.”

Hebert hopes investigators will find answers.

“No, I don’t think he’s alive. I think he was either picked up by people that came through there or was eaten by alligators,” says Hebert.

But Hebert says finding closure could be difficult.

The Baldwin County AL Sheriff’s Office and the FBI are investigating. Detectives are offering a five-thousand dollar reward in the Barter case.

$25,000 UNSOLVED MURDERS REWARD

On Monday, February 2, 2009, at approximately 11 a.m., deputies in the city of Stanton were dispatched to 12331 Beach Boulevard. This is the location of a business known as Golden Sun Homes. The owner called 911 to report that upon arrival at the business he discovered two people inside and they were not breathing. The owner would later identify these two subjects as his son, 42-year-old Matthew Francis Scott and his long time secretary, 50-year-old Elizabeth Ann Palmer. After securing the scene deputies would find out that Elizabeth’s white, 2004 Lexus GS300 (CA-5FYP194) was missing from its normal parking space. Homicide Investigators arrived on the scene and began an intensive investigation. Several interviews were conducted with known associates, family members and adjacent business owners. None of the interviews revealed any type of motive or potential suspect. Several steps have been taken to locate Elizabeth’s missing vehicle including using regional and international resources across the border into Mexico, however, the vehicle has yet to be located. All aspects of this case have been thoroughly investigated including all business and personal activities associated with both victims, their families, the business owners and their associates but nothing has given investigators any motive for their murders. Orange County Sheriff’s Homicide Investigators believe there is someone out there that may have assisted the perpetrator in some way or there are people in the area of the business that have knowledge of the murders that may be willing to come forward with some incentive. Elizabeth’s husband, Richard Palmer also believes there is someone out there with information that will help solve this case and is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this callous crime. Richard and other family members will be at Sheriff’s Headquarters, 550 North Flower Street, Santa Ana, CA. on Thursday, August 20, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. to offer the reward. For further information please contact Media Relations at (714) 647-7042.

$12,000 UNSOLVED MURDER REWARD

NYPD Police are offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who shot and killed a Bronx woman in front of her children last December.  

Lakisha Scriven, 30, was putting her 8-year-old and 5-year-old daughters into an SUV on Furman Avenue in Wakefield last Monday when a man walked up and shot her in the head.

Scriven worked as a supervisor with the city Administration for Children’s Services.

Sources tell NY1 detectives have questioned and released the father of the two children.

Police are offering a $12,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.

Anyone with information about the case is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.

$50,000 UNSOLVED HOMICIDE

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger issued a $50,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the hit-and-run death of a 13-year-old Desert Hot Springs girl.

Carissa Nwene was struck on Nov. 16, 2007, as she walked north on Palm Drive to class at Desert Springs Middle School.

She landed in a nearby field and died from her injuries.

The reward is “long overdue” but exciting, said her mother, Sheila Barnett. Carissa’s family wants to see the killer found to finally reach peace, she said.

“She was a child, and she was left on the side of the road. If it was me, that would be too heavy on my heart. So hopefully (the driver) told someone and that someone will come forward now,” Barnett said.

The reward money is a rare development in what police Chief Patrick Williams has called a “very, very frustrating” case.

“We’re hopeful that this reward will encourage somebody to provide that piece of information that will help identify Carissa’s killer,” said Williams, who applied for the reward money in November.

Police have been stumped by the case, despite earlier leads and an investigation that has pushed beyond the Coachella Valley and “up and down the state,” Williams has said.

Investigators recently narrowed the model year of the Ford E series panel van that they think struck Nwene to 2003 to 2005, police said.

The van’s front area around the right-turn signal light would have been damaged, police said. Most of those model vans have a white paint job.

Police recovered vehicle parts and a “Triton V8” emblem at the scene where Nwene was found, he said.

Police ask anyone with information in the case to call Sgt. Dan Bressler at (760) 329-6411 Ext 315.

$15,000 UNSOLVED MURDER REWARD

 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has released an incident report from police officers who initially found a pastor dead in an Anadarko church.

According to the report, officer Ashley Burrus discovered Carol Daniels about 12:02 p.m. Aug. 23 after a couple asked police to check on Daniels. The report states that Burrus entered the south door of Worthy Temple Christ Holy Sanctified Church and noticed Daniels’ body.

Capt. Dwaine Miller stated he saw the victim “lying prone on the floor just inside the door to the sanctuary.”

The 61-year-old Daniels suffered multiple gashes to her neck and throat, as well as stab wounds to her chest, back, stomach and hands.

OSBI inspector Steve Neuman said Tuesday the reward in the case is now $15,000.

$5000 UNSOLVED MURDER REWARD

Michael Defilippis, Jr. had invited everyone over Christmas Eve, 2009.

“It was gonna be all of us, and he ordered food ’cause he doesn’t cook,” sister Michelle Defilippis-Bernstein said.

But the day before the big gathering, her brother was found murdered in his Chicago condominium. The medical examiner says the 29-year-old had multiple blunt-force injuries and stab wounds.

“He wasn’t a small man,” the elder Difilippis said. “For this to happen to him, there had to be more than one person, and it was very violent. My son didn’t deserve to die this way.”

“The way that they killed my brother, you don’t that to anyone, you don’t hurt an animal like that, and they’re out there,” the victim’s sister said. “And they could hurt your family.”

Difilippis Sr. said his son showed nothing but respect for people. He loved his family and he had many friends. He wants the killer to know how much he’s hurting and what he’s lost.

“My best friend — we confided in each other all the time,” the elder Difilippis said. “It’s probably going to be one of the biggest things I’m gonna miss the rest of my life.”

They hope a $5,000 reward will prompt someone to come forward.
Right now police have no suspects. If you know anything, you’re asked to call police at (312) 746-8282.
