Will more money help find an accused Kirksville killer?
The U.S. Marshals Service certainly hopes it will. They are increasing the reward money to $10,000 in the search for Jesse Rongey. Rongey is charged with killing Stephen Munn and mutilating his body. Munn owned a large piece of land where Rongey had been staying.
A private citizen also kicked in $5,000 in reward money — so now the total is up to $15,000 for Rongey’s capture. He is considered armed and dangerous.
