Law enforcement officials from two states are offering a reward of $12,000 for information leading to an arrest in the slaying of Emporia sisters Nellie Bradley and Dorothy Hobbs.
Officials announced last week that they were collecting money for a reward. They also requested state and federal funds.
The sisters' bodies were found on a wooded path next to a farm field near Murfreesboro about 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 4. Bradley, 7l, and Hobbs, 73, were visiting cousins in Boykins, Va., when the crime occurred.
Hertford County Sheriff Juan E. Vaughan Sr. said Friday that investigators from both North Carolina and Virginia, as well as the FBI, are "following all leads" in the brutal slayings.
The women were last seen in Boykins, in Southampton County just after 4 p.m. They were driving a 1996 black Ford Crown Victoria. Their car was found just outside of Boykins, near the North Carolina line.
Investigators are asking that anyone who knows anything about the crime or who saw anything unusual in the area of Va. and N.C. 35 - between the small Virginia town and Murfreesboro - call police.
