These "shows" will pay to reunite people, will pay for someone to travel halfway around the world So that they can Confront their sexual abuser or the person who killed their loved one. I am sure the morcombes got paid for their story. All of these types of programs pay for a story, not necessarily the news which we watch at 6pm week nights,
