PAWTUCKET _ The family of a 62-year-old man killed in August as he walked to catch a bus to work is offering $5,000 to the person who provides information that leads to the killer's arrest and conviction.

Carl M. Seebeck, who was the manager of the Metro-Park Garage at the Amtrak Station in Providence, was walking along Broadway at 4:30 a.m. to catch a bus to work when someone shot and killed him in front of Berry Uniform Co. He is the brother of Detective Capt. John Seebeck, a 34-year member of the force who administers the prosecution bureau.

Today, family members returned to the site where Carl Seebeck died to announce the reward.

Gary Reis, a friend of the Seebeck family and the president and owner of Med Tech Ambulance Service of Pawtucket, donated the money in hopes it would encourage someone to come forward with new information. "I just hoped that the money would help flush somebody out," Reis said. "This guy was just going to work. He was a simple guy. He had been in Vietnam and had been though everything you can imagine. To get killed while you are getting a bus is disturbing," Reis said.

Carl's brother Stuart Seebeck, 53, of West Warwick, said the family would not rest until it finds the person who killed him. "He worked 60 hours a week. He didn't have any enemies. He didn't drink. He didn't do drugs. His money was in his wallet (when they found him). My whole family. We will never stop looking for the person who did this to my brother."

Detective Ray Johnston said the case is on going. "We continue to pursue any and all leads regarding the case. "I'm hoping someone comes forward with good information. Anyone with information regarding Seebeck's death is asked to call Johnston at (401) 727-9100 extension 769 or Detective Lt. Daniel Mullen at extension 723.
