Tipster turns down $40,000 reward, donates to victim's fund
Printer Friendly Version  

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Helping to solve a murder case is apparently reward enough for one anonymous tipster.

Information from the caller led to an arrest in the unsolved murder case of a student strangled in an affluent suburb of Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas City's Crime Stoppers group says the person who gave that key information was eligible for a 40-thousand-dollar reward.

But the tipster turned the money down, asking that it go instead to a charity group founded in the victim's memory. The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation offers scholarships to high school students and self-defense training.

The victim's father said he was "floored" by the news. He said, "It just goes to show how wonderful people in Kansas City are."
