Once again, there is no mention of the Lee County Crime Stoppers program nor is their # listed. With this valuable program available in our area, why would it not be used and mentioned on every crime where there is not an immediate suspect? A program that pays $ anonymously for tips leading to an arrest? This has got to get more result than a regular police hotline.
