A £20,000 reward has been offered for information that helps catch and convict whoever murdered former soldier Graham Pennycook in Wiltshire.
It is now six weeks since the 64-year-old was found dead in woodland near Perham Down polo field, close to Ludgershall, on Thursday 24 September.
Nobody has been brought to justice for his murder, with detectives continuing to investigate who was responsible for his death.
Crimestoppers is now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information passed directly to the charity which leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever killed Graham.
Graham left his home on the morning of Thursday 24 September to walk his dog along his regular route near Perham Down.
His dog returned home without him that morning, prompting his wife to raise the alarm. Graham’s body was later discovered in woodland near the polo field.
Crimestoppers says investigators believe Graham was assaulted in the woods, close to where his body was found.
It also says police believe he was around 40 to 45 minutes into his regular walk when he was attacked.
The reward comes two weeks after Wiltshire Police revealed that detectives wanted information about two men seen acting suspiciously in the area on the day Graham was killed.
Police asked anyone who saw two men who appeared out of place or were behaving suspiciously near the polo field or woodland at Perham Down to come forward.
Detectives are particularly interested in the period between 10am and 11am.
DCI Phil Walker said: “We are now four weeks on from Graham’s murder but our commitment to establishing exactly what happened to him and who is responsible remains absolute and our investigation continues.
“I am really keen to hear from anyone who witnessed two males that looked out of place, or were acting suspiciously, in the woods on the morning of the 24th September, especially between 10am and 11am.
“Did you see someone who looked out of place or was acting suspiciously? Have you seen this person, or these people, before? Do you know their name?
“Did you see any vehicles that were driving erratically or appeared in an unusual place?
“I am grateful for the engagement and support from the community but I believe there are people who were in, or close to, Perham Down that have not yet come forward and I would urge you to engage with our investigation.
“We know the area is a popular place to walk your dog, ride your bike or undertake other forms of exercise and the 24th September was no different.
“If you were there that day, and haven’t yet done so, please contact us as you may hold vital information. If you know who is responsible, you can help us seek justice for Graham’s murder.”
Police have also previously sought dashcam footage from motorists who travelled through the area between 9am and 6pm on the day Graham died.
Crimestoppers Regional Manager Central South West Beth Simpson said: “Graham went out for a familiar walk and never came home. His family are left without him and without answers.
“If you know something about what happened but do not want to speak to the police, you can share with Crimestoppers anonymously. Even a detail you think is small could help.”
The charity guarantees anonymity to anyone who provides information.
The £20,000 reward is only available for information given directly to Crimestoppers which leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for Graham’s murder.
Anyone seeking to claim the reward must request a reward code when calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Those providing information through the charity’s online form must use the “keeping in contact” facility and request a reward code when first making contact.
