Charles County authorities are offering what they are calling their largest reward ever of its kind -- $60,000 -- in hopes of cracking a three-year-old murder investigation.

Christopher Mader was shot early on Nov. 25, 2004, while driving on Smallwood Drive near the entrance to the Hampshire neighborhood where he lived in Waldorf.

Charles investigators have posted part of a 911 call on their Web site, http://www.ccso.us. In the 2004 call, a voice says: "I was traveling down [Route] 301 earlier tonight, and I believe there were shots fired."

Maj. Joseph C. Montminy, the assistant sheriff of operations for Charles, said detectives do not think anyone could have heard the shots that killed Mader from Route 301.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Charles County Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS (8477). Callers may remain anonymous and are eligible for the reward, the sheriff's office said. People can also call Detective K. Keelan at 301-609-6509.
