REWARD FOR KILLER NOW AT $50,000.


Byline: Naush Boghossian Staff Writer

BURBANK - The city of Burbank announced Friday it will add $15,000 to the reward for information in the slaying of Sharon Santos, bringing the total to $50,000.

The city's portion would come in addition to $10,000 offered by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is the five member governing board of Los Angeles County, California. Members of the board of supervisors are elected by district, the current members as of April 2006 are:
  • District 1: Gloria Molina, Democrat
 and $25,000 from Warner Bros BROS Brothers
BROS Benefits and Retirement Operations Section (King County, Washington)
BROS Barnes and Richmond Operatic Society (London, UK) 
., where Santos worked as a senior financial analyst.

``I think we're hoping that by doing this we'll hopefully get some tips that lead us to whoever murdered her,'' said Burbank City Manager Mary Alvord. ``We hope it brings closure to our community - certainly to members of her family and to her co-workers.''

The last time the city offered a reward for information that would lead to a killer was in the case of police Officer Matthew Pavelka, who was killed Nov. 15 in the line of duty In the Line of Duty may refer to:
  • In the Line of Duty (film)
  • In the Line of Duty (Stargate SG-1)
.

``It didn't make a difference in that case, but if it makes somebody come forward and provide some information on this case and bring some closure, it's worth every penny and then some,'' Alvord said.

Meanwhile, Coroner's Office officials said Friday that their tests point to homicide, though no cause of death has yet been determined.

``There's no cause of death, but preliminary information strongly suggests the probability of homicide,'' David Campbell David Campbell may refer to:
  • David Campbell (poet) (1915-1979), Australian poet
  • David Campbell (Canadian musician) (born 1948), Canadian musician
  • David Campbell (Manitoba politician), Canadian politician
 said.

The body of Santos, 30, was discovered in the trunk of her car near Chinatown Sept. 2.

She was last seen Aug. 17 by co-workers leaving Warner Bros. Police believe she returned to her apartment in the 1500 block of Scott Road, where they found her purse.

``Our department is hoping for any information that will lead us to a suspect or suspects,'' Burbank police spokesman Sgt. Jay Jette said.

``It's very encouraging. I'm hoping that it will lead us to find whoever did this,'' sister Sandra Santos said. ``I'm hoping it will prompt the community to speak up if they know of anything.''
