Private donor offers bonus reward money
Crime Stoppers, the police hot line that gives cash for clues leading to arrests, would like to clarify that the $6,000 reward being offered for the capture of Lance Love is from a private donor.
The additional money is being
offered through the anonymous tip line but not from the organization.
The Crime Stopper tip line — 352-3040 — is answered by Cincinnati detectives who give callers code numbers to claim rewards instead of taking names.
The highest reward is $1,000, which is awarded in the hardest-to-solve cases. Awards average $150 in routine cases. Any reward in addition to that comes from independent donations, said Spc. Karen Chaney, a detective in the unit.
A donor has offered an additional $5,000 for the arrest of Mr. Love, who is wanted for questioning in the death of businessman Jim Osterbrock, 52, whose body was found a week ago in the basement of his Mount Auburn home.
His death has been ruled a homicide, although police have not released the cause of death.
Mr. Love, 32, has been missing since last Friday, when, police, say, he crashed Mr. Osterbrock's GMC Yukon truck into trees on a Clermont County farm.
He eluded a massive manhunt Friday in Clermont County as well as a three-hour search Tuesday when he was reported to be in Clifton Heights.
He is described as a 5-foot-10, 170-pound muscular white man.
