The reward money offered by local police and fire unions for information on those responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing remains uncollected, The Boston Globereports.

According to the Globe, union officials have revealed the $50,000 will not be awarded as nobody came forward with a real tip that fingered the Tsarnaev brothers.

Firefighter union president Rich Paris told the Globe that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s college friends could have claimed the reward if they had come forward, but instead they wiped Tsarnaev’s dorm room of any evidence that potentially could have linked him to the crime.

“If money talked, Sean Collier would still be alive,’’ he said.
