$98,000 cash found in desk bought on Craigslist

[rz]

I work with a guy who bought a house that had belonged to a former gun dealer who had been stabbed to death. He was in the attic working on some wiring when he found $100,000 in cash. He wanted to keep it but his wife made him call the police because she was afraid someone was going to come looking for the money. The former owner's estranged wife was contacted, and of course she said it belonged to her. Apparently they worked out a deal where he got some money as a "finders fee".
