Crime Stoppers, the police hot line that gives cash for clues leading to arrests, has raised its reward to up to $6,000 for calls that lead to the capture of Lance Love.
Detectives who answer the anonymous tip line — 352-3040 — give callers code numbers to claim rewards instead of taking names. Its usual reward is up to $1,000.
Cincinnati officers have been taking calls on Mr. Love since, police say, he crashed a homicide victim's stolen truck into trees on a Clermont County farm Friday and evaded an extensive manhunt.
A reported sighting of Mr. Love triggered another manhunt Tuesday — this time in Clifton Heights.
Mr. Love, 32, has been missing since businessman Jim Osterbrock was found dead Thursday in the basement of his Mount Auburn home.
His death has been ruled a homicide, but police have not yet said how he died.
Mr. Love, wanted for questioning in the death, is the man police con nected to stealing and crashing Mr. Osterbrock's maroon GMC Yukon and fleeing into the woods.
Cincinnati police and campus officers at the University of Cincinnati responded Tuesday afternoon after Mr. Love reportedly used a pay phone on Calhoun Street to call Tender Mercies Inc., an Over-the-Rhine home for the homeless and mentally ill, where Mr. Love once lived.
Officers searched on foot and from the air but did not find him.
He is described as a 5-foot-10, 170-pound muscular white man who uses the alias Sequoia Johanson. He has tattoos on both arms, including images of a man holding a guitar, a German cross, barbed wire and a black panther.
