It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to 30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Biebers bedroom and to watch him secretly.
