Convinced that the missing husband of slain publishing heiress Anne Scripps Douglas is responsible for killing her, the Scripps family increased the reward for information leading to his arrest from $25,000 to $100,000. The body of the 47-year-old heiress to the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain was found in the bedroom of her Bronxville, N.Y., home on New Year’s Day. A car belonging to Douglas’ husband, Scott, 38, was found idling on a Hudson River bridge. But police and her family believe he faked his suicide.
