East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers describes its reward program and anonymous tip options for people sharing information that may help lead to an arrest.
The appeal comes from East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers on Facebook, which says Knoxville police want to speak with the person shown in the photos. The organization notes that any information presented should not be taken as proof of guilt — all subjects presented by the organization are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
How the Reward and Tip Process Works
Crime Stoppers says information that leads to an arrest may qualify for a cash reward of up to $2,000, according to the organization's reward policy. The organization relies on public tips to help move cases forward.
Tipsters have several ways to reach Crime Stoppers, and all of them are designed to protect anonymity. People can call **TIPS or 877-363-8477, text ETTips to 738477, submit information through the P3 TIPS mobile app, or go online at EastTNValleyCrimeStoppers.org to submit a tip.
The organization's site says tips are secure and anonymous, whether submitted by phone, online or through the P3 TIPS app, according to the group's tip submission page.
What Remains Unknown
As of now, there's no public word on whether the tip has led investigators any closer to identifying the person in the photos. The case remains open, and Crime Stoppers' post offers no additional description of the individual beyond the images themselves.
