Friends of Emily Anderson, a Caldwell County woman found shot to death in January 2006, are offering a $3,500 reward for information that leads to a conviction in her killing.
A Web site was created in September to solicit more information about her death Friends increased the reward by $1,000 last week.
Anderson's best friend, Patricia Thorpe of New Jersey, has said people wanting to make donations to the reward fund can contribute through the Web site at www.emilygriffittanderson.com or by visiting any Wachovia branch.
Emily Anderson was last seen alive Dec. 29, 2005. Ten days later, her Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was found in an S.C. restaurant parking lot, about 100 miles from Caldwell County. She had been shot twice, and her body had been crammed into the truck bed's large tool box.
Her husband, Jerry Anderson, was charged with first-degree murder, but a judge declared a mistrial in July after a Gaston County jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.
Anyone with information about Emily Anderson's death is asked to call the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office at 828-758-2324.

How cold were the night time temperatures during the days Emily was missing?
Was the tool box insulated?
Was the truck parked on the north side of the resturant (where it would not have gotten as hot as on the south side)?
These factors would have influenced "the rate of decomposition" that the lawyers seemed to make so much of.
Contact Dr. Michael Ward at Greenville Memorial and ask him to take a look at the autopsy slides. He is a forensic scientist and was helpful to a family I know.
