WEBSTER, N.H. — Investigators say offering up a cash reward is the next logical step in a case like the disappearance of Celina Cass, because so many days have gone by with no information leading to her recovery.“One of the things we are looking at is every single possibility that is out there to get someone to give up information is crucial,” said Don Nason, a former law enforcement officer who now runs an investigative center for missing children and cold cases. Nason says that a cash reward can often times produce vital information.“The next step here giving some money out and seeing if anyone is going to come forward. Someone who otherwise wouldn’t come forward without the money,” said Nason.

Judge Rules That Use of GPS to Track Cheating Spouse Not Invasion of Privacy
Beware, cheating husbands and wives. The use of a GPS device to track your whereabouts is not an invasion of privacy in New Jersey, a state appellate court panel ruled today. Based on the battle of a divorcing New Jersey couple, the decision helps clarify the rules governing GPS technology increasingly employed by suspicious spouses – many of whom hire private investigators. “For the appellate division to say that it’s not an invasion of privacy is a wonderful thing for private investigation business,” said Lisa Reed, owner of LSR Investigations in Flemington. It’s been something we’ve been haggling over for some period of time.”
