    Pat, have your friend turn you in then split the reward money?…….you’ll need the money for your lawyer……oh, no money for a lawyer?, we the taxpayers will pickup your tab………that’s how we roll.

    Strange that it took so long for this case to reach the indictment stage. Possible new evidence/witness must have turned up.
    Won’t take long for someone to drop a dime on her for the reward.
