Reward money in the search for Kamille Mckinney, abducted from a Birmingham birthday party four days ago, has now reached $25,000.

Gov. Kay Ivey earlier this week announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Kamille’s kidnappers. Birmingham city authorities, joined by Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama Chairman Frank Barefield, on Wednesday announced a separate $20,000 reward comprised mostly of donations from private citizens and businesses.

Barefield said there has been a generous outpouring of support. “A lot of agencies don’t pay a reward until the conviction of an offender,’’ Barefield said. “With Crime Stoppers, your tip only has to assist law enforcement in solving that crime.”

“We approve our rewards weekly so you could literally call with a tip today and pick up your money cash next with and you’re totally anonymous,’’ Barefield said. “There’s no better deal in town.”

Police say 3-year-old Kamille was abducted about 8:30 p.m. Saturday while attending a birthday party in the Tom Brown Village public housing community. According to other children in the area at the time, a man was handing out candy to children in the area. At some point, they said, he snatched a barefoot Kamille and put her into a Toyota SUV and drove off.

Since then, a massive search comprised of multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies has been underway. Stallworth and Brown were taken into custody Sunday night at Woodside Condominiums off Roebuck Parkway after residents recognized Stallworth and the Toyota Sequoia convenience store surveillance images released first by Birmingham police, and later in the second Amber Alert issued in Kamille’s abduction. Two persons of interest have been detained and now arrested on unrelated charges.

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, Police Chief Patrick Smith and others on Wednesday spoke of sensitivity of the ongoing investigation, the importance of residents providing credible tips and the need for all to refrain from spreading misinformation.

“Residents have genuine fear based on this little girl still being missing,’’ Woodfin said. “And so it’s important that we not give false hope, and that we work to make sure that any information that is shared is accurate.”

What you can do:

- Multiple offers for monetary donations to the search are pouring in. Anyone who wants to donate to the Crime Stoppers reward money should call 205-224-5003.

- Pay attention to your surroundings. If you see something you believe is linked to Kamille’s disappearance, call police and let them do their job. “We’re here, we’re working, and we don’t mind doing it,’’ said Sgt. Johnny Williams. “You may actually help us find this young lady.”

- Those who want to conduct ground searches are asked to coordinate with the Birmingham Police Department’s command post set up on Messer-Airport Highway. “If they need help in the search, they’ll gladly let you.”

- Come forward with any store surveillance video or cell phone video that was taken near the area of the abduction Saturday night. There are multiple business around Tom Brown Village, and authorities believe several gatherings were happening at Tom Brown Village at the time Kamille was abducted.

Police have one piece of advice of what not to do:

Refrain from disseminating undocumented information on social media.

“We have to chase down bad leads when we’re forwarded information that people have seen on social media,’’ Williams said. “That slows down our resources that we can have in other places. That would be a tremendous help.”

The chief agreed. “We are here conducting a real investigation, and this is a very sensitive investigation,’’ Smith said. “It’s one that’s pulled on the heartstrings of the community and the nation and everyone wants to see this young child alive…back with her family…safe. It’s not something to play with. Leave it alone on Facebook.”

Anyone with information on Kamille’s disappearance is asked to call Crime Stoppers 205-254-7777 or *HP or 911.
