The Real One (Part 4) The Real Story of Santa Claus
You’re On the Air After an $81,000 bank robbery in Chicago, Ill., police and the FBI had no leads. Ten months later, the case had grown cold — until someone called in to a radio show on WKSC, which features usually mundane confessions like “I stole something from work.” The caller described unreleased details of the robbery, and mentioned that after the heist he went out “buyin’ Louis Vuitton this, Blass that, everything man,” with the cash. The FBI stopped by the radio station and picked up a recording of the call — and the caller’s phone number from the station’s Caller I.D. They tracked the number to a cell phone and arrested Randy Washington, 24, who sure enough even had a Louis Vuitton wallet in his pocket. (Chicago Sun-Times) ...But after 10 months, there wasn’t enough left in it to pay his bail. Available in This is True: Book Collection Vol. 11
