She was reluctant to speak but said: “I hope that this (reward) does bring something out.” Yesterday Detective Sergeant Matthew Allen travelled to Larrimah to put up the signs seeking a reward. Sergeant Allen said he could not disclose when the image was given to police. “During the course of our investigation police received the photo. Can’t discuss specifics in relation to when it was received and who took the photo,” he said. He said announcing the reward and releasing the image would hopefully get people talking. “Investigators believe it might help spark conversations about Paddy as he was sitting in his usual location at the pub,” he said.
