From the CHPD release:<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>UPDATE \u00e2\u20ac\u201c EVE CARSON INVESTIGATION CONTINUES<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, March 8th the Chapel Hill Police Department released surveillance photos of an individual attempting to use the victim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ATM card at an area location.  We received a number of tips from citizens over the weekend and investigators are continuing to follow up on those reports. <\/p>\n<p>Questions have surfaced about an individual possibly seated in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle.  We do believe there is a second unidentified male seated in the rear seat.  We have been exploring ways to enhance the quality of this photo in an effort to learn more about this person.  <\/p>\n<p>The Chapel Hill Police Department would like to remind you of the generous pledge from the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees.  They are pledging $25,000 to the Carrboro-Chapel Hill-UNC Crime Stoppers program for a reward for information leading to the arrest of a person or persons responsible for the murder of Eve Carson.  We ask that citizens with information about the case call Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515 or www.crimestoppers-chcunc.org.  All conversations are confidential and callers do not need to reveal their identity.<\/p>\n<p>There are no press conferences scheduled at this time.
