17 News caught up with former KGET crime reporter Olivia LaVoice, who worked closely on the case.
The nonprofit has brought in over $100,000 for the Secret Witness Foundation, the nonprofit has purchased and donate specialized equipment to Kern County Search and Rescue. We know that since the nonprofit has raised donations for secret witness, there are cases that have been solved through people calling in because there was a reward, that financial incentive, we know that works.”
