   Case has generated nationwide interest, sheriff said   
      
   A Florida sheriff said Monday he was banking on a $30,000 reward   
   to help solve the murders of three buddies who were killed when   
   they met up to go fishing.   
      
   “Look there are people out there that’ll give up their brother   
   for $100,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. “This is $30,000   
   cash. No taxes. We don’t even have to know who you are. We just   
   need information."   
      
   Damion Tillman, 23; Keven Springfield, 30; and Brandon Rollins,   
   27 were killed Friday night near Lake Streety in Frostproof.   
   Judd said the murder scene ranked as one of the worst he has   
   seen in his long career in law enforcement.   
      
   As he announced the award, he told reporters that among the   
   hundreds of tips authorities have received, some were promising   
   and others were "ridiculous." He noted the case has generated   
   nationwide interest.   
      
   After they were beaten and shot, Rollins made a desperate call   
   for help to his father who woke up and drove to the scene, the   
   sheriff said. Cyrus Rollins spoke to his son about what happened   
   and then drove to a gas station to call 911. When he returned   
   his son was dead.   
      
   “There’s been some question why didn’t the dad use the son’s   
   phone from there,” Judd said. “Well I don’t know whether or not   
   he looked for it but he probably wouldn’t have found it. We had   
   a difficult time finding it ourselves.”   
      
   He said Springfield and Rollins were attacked when they arrived   
   at the scene in Rollins’ pickup as Tillman was being killed.   
      
   Judd said the pickups were found in the middle of the road,   
   parallel to each other--driver’s window to driver’s window.   
   Items of value were found in the vehicles that would have been   
   taken if the movitve for the killings was a robbery.   
      
   “We don’t see obvious reasons for theft,” Judd said. “We don’t   
   see signs of a drug deal gone bad. We don’t see signs of a   
   domestic violence event. So we still don’t know why the murders   
   occurred.”
