$50K Boston Marathon Bombing Reward Uncollected

The reward, offered by a group of police and fire unions, will not be collected because no one indentified the Tsarnaev brothers as the ones responsible for the attack.

No one qualified for the $50,000 reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction for those responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings, according to the Boston Globe.

They report the reward, offered by a group of police and fire unions, will not be collected because no one identified the Tsarnaev brothers as the ones responsible for the attack.

Instead, the identification of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, ultimately leading up to Tamerlan's death and Dzhokhar's conviction, came from the police investigation.

In addition, they report Rich Paris, president of the Boston Firefighters Local 718, said Dzhokhar's college friends could have potentially collected the reward had they shared information.

Instead, all three were tried and convicted of hindering the investigation by hiding evidence from his dorm room and lying to investigators.
