Offer it, and they will come? Not quite.

A $300,000 reward has failed to bring forward a flood of credible new information that might lead to the arrest of suspected cop-killers, officials at several law enforcement agencies said Thursday.

John Kundts, a supervisory special agent at the FBI’s Denver division, said that there has not been a noticeable increase in the number of calls on the toll-free hotline the FBI set up for anyone with information regarding Alan "Monte" Pilon, 30, of Dove Creek and Jason Wayne McVean, 26, of Durango.

Kundts said that even if the increased reward fails to bring new information forward, it is unlikely that the two suspects will be put on the FBI’s "Ten Most Wanted" list. Kundts said although Pilon and McVean’s alleged crimes are heinous, they are not of the same severity as the other men on the list.

As of Thursday, Pilon and McVean had eluded authorities for 49 days after allegedly shooting Cortez police officer Dale Claxton and wounding two sheriff’s deputies May 29. A third suspect, Robert Mason, 26, of Durango, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound June 4 near Bluff, Utah, after wounding a sheriff’s deputy.

Officials at the Cortez Police Department, San Juan County, Utah, Sheriff’s Office and the Navajo Nation Police Department each said Thursday that they had not received a larger than normal number of phone calls after the FBI announced the higher reward.

More than 500 searchers who scoured the rugged canyons near Cortez in the days after Claxton was shot failed to turn up any evidence of the two suspects. The search became revitalized on June 28, when a 9-year-old girl reported seeing two men wearing camouflage and carrying assault weapons trying to steal a water truck in Montezuma Creek, Utah. In spite of finding fresh tracks and getting within 20 yards of two men who Navajo searchers believed to be Pilon and McVean, no special weapons and tactics teams were able to capture the two fugitives.

On Sunday, citing exhaustion and a lack of resources, the Navajo police called off the search near Montezuma Creek.

During an interview on Wednesday, Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, R-Colo., said federal funds were available to fund the manhunt. Campbell did not say where the money would come from.

Navajo Nation police Sgt. Tyrone Benally said Thursday that his department was preparing some documents to send to Washington, D.C., to determine what federal funds are available for the search.
