I have no intention of doing this, but I thought I'd throw the idea out there for constructive feedback -- in either direction.
What if someone were to start say a gofoundme page that would collect money to be used to hire a PI -- a real PI. Or ex-cop. It seems if everyone gave a dollar or two, the funds would be there.
What would be the downside? The upside? What exactly would his focus be on?
It just seems that a PI would be able to easily get his hands on material to confirm or deny the basement that Alefantis first said was there, and now says isn't. Or if there was renovation done that might have hidden the basement between the time Alefantis gave this interview and now. Or how about sending him to investigate that farm they kept revisiting?

Leaves a paper trail. Can be used to infiltrate us and give fake information. Or get the dude killed.

The idea would be for the list of donors to not get out there. But if the worst happened, there would be a list of say, 10,000 people giving two dollars. It hardly seems like the crime of the century. Yes, they'd have our names, but they are probably getting IP addresses.
What if the a known personality is recruited to put up the crowdsourcing. Would that interest you? Someone that we know has been fighting for opening up an investigation from the beginning.

I do like the idea of a well known spokesman. I keep thinking Bo Dietl. Besides having lots of experience, someone like this wouldn't have to be the person working the case, but might recommend who to try to get. Plus he would have already established connections, on BOTH sides of the fence, imo.
