Why A Cash Reward Will Catch The University of Idaho Murderer
What’s the criminal psychological advantage of offering a cash reward and could the Moscow, Idaho PD not be catching the murderer because they refuse to offer one?
From the very start, the Moscow Police Department who are investigating the tragic murders of the four University of Idaho students in their small town of just 25 thousand refused to offer a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest. When asked by the media, they claimed that a cash reward wasn’t necessary because they are already getting a lot of tips; however, is that the only advantage of offering a cash reward? Not at all, and it’s quite alarming that the Moscow PD apparently doesn’t understand this. However, their last murder case was 7 years ago, so they’re quite inexperienced in these types of crimes. Although it is true that they will receive more tips in general when a cash reward is offered, but can you think of any other benefit of offering a cash reward?
It increases the likelihood that a friend, girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, spouse, family member, or acquaintance will turn on the unidentified subject, unsub, to collect the big cash payout. Those are the breakthrough tips that the Moscow PD is not currently getting. As much we all naturally want to think that this unidentified subject, unsub, is a total loner who crawled up from the darkness of his cave to commit these crimes that’s likely not true at all. The unsub has friends, acquaintances, family, extended family, co-workers, and possibly even a love interest, all people who may be given extra encouragement to tip him off if a large sum of money becomes available to them. It’s natural for loyalty to waiver when money is involved. If a cash reward is offered, Moscow PD will start to get more tips like, hey my boyfriend was out the night of those murders, he’s been acting weird lately, he’s obsessed with this case, and he lives not too far away from there. Those are the tips that the Moscow PD is currently missing. Do you remember how Ted Bundy was initially found? It was actually his own fiancé who initially turned him in.
Cash rewards do much more than just provide more tips, cash rewards encourage better tips. $100,000 is a lot of money for pretty much anyone; therefore, it encourages loyalties to snap, and they only need one person in the unsub’s orbit to suggest it was them which will solve this case. Currently, the Moscow PD is not getting those better tips because they still refuse to offer a cash reward, since they seem to be ignorant, due to their inexperience, to understand the psychological power money has to sever “loyal” relationships.

Someone has information they're not coming forward with while the risk outweighs the reward. They may fear for their own life, they may rely on the suspected murderer financially or in some other way. They need the incentive to risk telling on a _quadruple murderer._

@@markdean4255 it's not a middle of nowhere, someone could see the car, hear someone talking, or someone's steps, and the housemates or neighbours or even friends of the killer could know he was outside at the time of the crime, possibly could notice their heightened mental state when they came back/next morning, know the reaction to the news about the murder, etc. Lots of clues. Of course harder if the killer is lonely and has no neighbours.
$50K would most likely do it........if the tip is a 'slam dunk' tip (such as a friend or girlfriend that can provide concrete evidence) then often this may be negotiated upwards by the tipster from $50,000.00. Often, reward money is determined by population and household income which seems to be moderate here in Moscow but at this point..........try anything to get this terrible case solved! Money isn't always the root of all evil and it could certainly lead to the elimination of much fear and apprehension from loss.......many times richer people or companies will gladly commit big portions if not all of the cash reward!!
Great video Derek -- you are 100 percent correct here -- a substantial reward could solve this case quick. I feel sorry for the parents and families of the victims -- inept, incompetent police department -- how the hell don't you offer a reward and refuse to do so? mind boggling

I'm not sure this is correct tbh, I would assume the local police department wouldn't be able to handle the influx of tips...due to low staff or whatever.... They would probably need an outside body to come in and halp
Thanks for bringing this case to light …. Blessings from PR and let me know if you wish to translate to Spanish….. I would love to help

The only reason that makes sense is they KNOW who it is and are waiting on evidence to cement their case It has to be someone close probably young because they didn’t have a gun probably couldn’t afford a gun. Plus their hatred must have been intense because the knife was going dull with each wound and they kept going Also today a post came out stating the dead girls bullied another previous dorm mate into suicide. The poster said they got what they deserved

Reminds me of another murder in a small town with an inexperienced police force who rarely dealt with murder. They didn't want to ask for help. 50 FBI agents on this case, I think the outcome will be different.
they more than likely already know who it is and have some evidence implicating them... it's just a question of getting enough to satisfy the prosecutors that they have a slam dunk case still though, a cash reward can give that little extra bit of evidence that can make the difference

I was following this since you uploaded your first video about this case. I never would have thought they’d find the suspect 25 minutes from where i live. So wild

How is it possible you don’t have a million subscribers yet!?!? I’m disappointed people are missing out!
Not only the world needs your videos to balance out the BS, but I had to say,LOVE THE TIE BRO!! No Cap!! The tie made me comment!!😂
Good stuff, Derek, keep doing videos like this! I think the cash reward could only increase the odds of arrest, though I do think this was an out-of-state/city crime, where they get in and get out, onto the next one.
So, if I crawl out of a cave, I'm immune to those cash rewards?

If that BWC video really did show the killer(s) getting away (4-5 people ran by) , that's just too many people to keep quiet; one of them will crack, ESPECIALLY with a cash reward. This will be solved.
It does show ignorant and inexperienced they are, or cheap.

It's just 25 000 people in that town. Should be easy peasy.
If nobody comes forward for 50k then someone needs to put up 250k. I bet someone talks them. The killers closest friend of family will cash out at 250k
DVS subscribers would only need to throw in $0.17 each to make a 100k reward! Just sayin…
Looking good!
That makes me very suspicious of the PD there. Are they covering for someone?
What's with the weird camera angle to the side? Do you mean for it to be slanted?
Spot on
Brilliant!
This video has aged like fine milk. It seems the Moskow PD put their money to better use. No amount of reward would have helped here as the alleged suspect had no friends or family nearby to snitch.
I find it funny they have a Moscow in Idaho
The murderer is a drifter. No one knew who this guy was and I doubt any kind of money in this case will lead to any kind of arrest. The guy who did this is off to his next target…
I think it might be coming soon.
Yeah...money offering is needed. Someone will sing.
In hindsight, I think you’ll see that they didn’t offer a reward because they already had A suspect and DNA.
Derek for president
No word about recent developments i.e the arrest..?
What about $100,000 a person, that might do the job. Their lives 2:55 were worth much more than that. I’m sure people would contribute to that and more to see the murderer caught, which is what the family and public want.
What is an “unsub?”

The police have nothing to lose by offering a reward. If no one comes forward there’s no payout. If someone comes forward with new information leading to an arrest-there you go! Yes, a lot of people have come forward with tips but I think this case has many layers and many different people that know information they’re not telling. If someone really starts talking for reward money IMO this case will crack wide open!
100K cash reward when abe lincoln checked out. That's equivalent to 100,000,000,000,000,000 today

Well everything I've seen about Idaho cops makes me want to stay away like they're Alabama. So they're stupid, or they're protecting the murderer
the unsub could be the Gary ridgeway of this case, totally normal, unsuspecting and has a solid alibi to everyone he knows so a cash reward might not come to anything other than waste police time with false allegations and time wasters
Bezos, Elon, Gates could put up a massive reward and do some good with their wealth. A million would be loose change to them!!..
The Moscow police need to do everything possible for an airtight case against any suspect, so commenters who say they probably already have their man are off-base. I don't think the Moscow PD has much of anything at all, and not offering any reward is just a part of that failure. I don't think it's for lack of money, I think someone has been giving them lousy advice in a lousy investigation. If I'm wrong, great. I just want this monster caught.
I’m always proud to be considered a “shaker.” I wish you posted more often. I’m sure I’m subbed to all of your channels. Whenever someone shows a clip of Ted Bundy, I am reminded of a case I worked for a single 7pm to 7am shift at a rehab home for a guy who was quite manipulative. I had to keep my eyes on him, but he didn’t really need assistance. It was unclear exactly my role as a nurse aide. I was what the called a “sitter,” but I’m not sure what I could have done if he had decided to bolt or hold me hostage. I’m not sure his infractions. I was told to not engage. He went to bed soon after my arrival, but he was a bit incorrigible prior to that. He rather frightened me. But he was also a lot of fun. I think he had brain injury from an accident which made him highly unpredictable. He was transferred to a psyche facility the next day. But that clip you showed of Bundy reminds me of that work shift.

I just can’t help but think the other roommates may have somehow been involved. They were not harmed. They waited to call police and when they did they reported that someone was passed out….all of that seems so so weird.

Crimes aside, I wish you would act more like who you really are, not performing for the internet.
What is with the cringe face at the end? What a strange narcissistic man, thinking he knows more about the case than the police running it. Some kind of screw is loose in this guys head. Who makes facial expressions like that. It’s like a horror movie where a psycho pretends to have normal emotions, but ends up just looking creepy.

According to Ken Mains, you don’t offer rewards until the case is thisclose to going cold. Rewards bring out too many greedy glory hounds.oom8ng for a pay day.
