| 0:00.0 | This week's episode of Undisclosed is brought to you by three great sponsors, Stamps.com, Blue Apron, and ABC's new drama conviction. |
| 0:08.3 | Listen in for their spots later in the show and make sure you support our sponsors because they support us. |
| 0:13.3 | Until then, enjoy the program. Oftentimes when law enforcement feels like it's got its back up against the wall, |
| 0:39.0 | and doesn't have the kind of evidence it needs to make an arrest, |
| 0:42.2 | it resorts to a tactic that can end up creating an entirely new host of issues, |
| 0:47.5 | offering a money reward. |
| 0:49.7 | And just as often, it seems, that reward seems to poof disappear into thin air. |

| 1:58.4 | noted that in the John Ford movie, The Informer, |
| 2:01.1 | a British police officer disdainfully pushes with his walking stick the 30-pound reward, |
