WASHINGTON – Joel and Mary Rich, parents of murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, will join GOP lobbyist Jack Burkman at a news conference Monday to bring attention to the unsolved killing. 

Rich, 27, was shot to death while walking home from a Washington, D.C. bar. Police say Mr. Rich was a victim of a botched robbery however his wallet, watch and cell phone were not taken. Others say Tich was the DNC leaker.

In September, Mr. Burkman announced that he would offer a $100,000 reward for information into the killing that remains unsolved.

Burkman, a Republican lobbyist, offered to assist the Rich family because the crime has shaken the entire D.C. political community regardless of party.
