Information Sought In Gu Hate-Mail Case

Sun., June 2, 1996

From Staff And Wire Reports

Secret Witness and Gonzaga University are offering a $26,000 cash reward for information that solves a hate mail case plaguing the school.

Three African-American students enrolled in the university’s law school received racially threatening letters during the past two years.

Police and FBI officials working jointly on the case have no leads.

Gonzaga has posted a $25,000 reward to help solve the case. Secret Witness will contribute $1,000.

Anyone with information about who might have written the letters is asked to call Secret Witness at 327-5111. Callers do not have to give their names to be eligible for the cash reward.

Secret Witness is a citizen organization not affiliated with law enforcement. Callers may use a code name or number for future contact about the reward. , DataTimes MEMO: Cut in Spokane edition
