A New York businessman is putting up a 50 thousand dollar reward for information leading to Sarah Wisnosky's "real killer."

Wisnosky left Lynchburg for her freshman year at Old Dominion University.

Her body was dumped in the Elizabeth River.
Her lawyers announced a 50-thousand dollar reward today... and asked that the state D-N-A test blood found under Wisnosky's fingernails.

The troubled Arcadia Leadership Academy in Buchanan (BUCK-annon) has lost its state appeal.
The alternative school for boys was denied a license to operate as a boarding school in April.
That's after inspections by state education and social services officials resulted in 24 pages of safety, discipline, and health violatons.
A spokesman for the Academy says the school will now conduct a legal appeal-- although it must go through the same state agency.
