Couple who called 911 to report kidnapping suspect not given Crime Stoppers reward.
Briana and Kenyatta Jordan are a Dallas couple who were recently involved in a harrowing kidnapping case. On July 7, the couple was returning home from lunch when they recognized Leonard Neal, a 41-year-old wanted man who had abducted a 9-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. With six children of their own, they decided to take action and follow the bus Neal was on while they were on the phone with the police.

Fortunately, their efforts paid off and Neal was taken into custody after he cut his throat. However, the Jordans soon learned they weren't eligible for the Crime Stoppers reward that was offered. When they inquired, they were told the reward is only eligible to people who call the Crime Stoppers tip line, and not those who call 911.

The Jordans are now questioning why they weren't told this earlier. On the Dallas Police Department website, they urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers or 911, leading the Jordans to believe they would be eligible for the reward regardless of which line they called.

Chief Eddie Garcia of the Dallas Police Department has said he will open the conversation and try to improve services so situations like this don't arise in the future. The Jordans are now hoping the DPD can help them obtain the reward, as they believe the kidnapper would still be on the loose if they had called the tip line instead of 911. They believe the DPD should be held to their word and stay true to the reward they promised.
