A reward for information about a 2002 deadly hit-and-run incident in Emanuel County has been more than tripled after an Arizona man pledged to add $5,000 to the existing $1,000 reward. Jeannie Willene Ellis Bryant of Metter has been struggling for 15 years now to find out who hit and killed her brother off Highway 56 in Swainsboro, but even after Emanuel County sheriff’s investigators reopened the cold case in 2015, no one has stepped forward, she said. But Michael Morrow, a 55-year-old builder from Goodyear, Arizona, hopes that by adding $5,000 to the $1,000 already offered by the Emanuel County Sheriff’s Office, someone will be tempted by the $6,000 total reward to come forward with information.
