WikiLeaks offers reward for help finding DNC staffer’s killer
The speculation started within days of Seth Rich being
gunned down in what D.C. police believe was an attempted robbery near his
townhouse in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Northwest Washington.
Some on the Internet wondered if Rich was killed because
of his work as a staffer with the Democratic National Committee, even
suggesting he had handed WikiLeaks the 20,000 emails that embarrassed the DNC
and forced the ouster of its chairwoman. Others suggested he was helping the
FBI expose wrongdoing in the presidential election, and that made him a target.
On Tuesday, WikiLeaks shoved those conspiracy theories
into the mainstream when it announced on Twitter a $20,000 reward for
information leading to a conviction in Rich’s killing on July 10 in the 2100
block of Flagler Place NW. It adds to a $25,000 reward offered by D.C. police,
customary in all District homicides.
