Cleanliness may be next to not just godliness but financial solvency for 46-year-old Timothy Yost, a homeless man who found $77,000 in cash and gold coins when he paused on the banks of the Colorado River in Texas to wash his feet. Yost initially tried to exchange the river-soaked bills for dry money at a bank, which prompted the teller to call the police. Yost was given a claim receipt for the cash, and now 90 days later with no other claimants stepping forward, the 70 $100 dollars bills and 40 South African gold coins are legally Yost's property. Now if you don't mind, we're going to grab our soap-on-a-rope and head down to the Colorado River.
They already found the body about 10 years ago. It was a gambler named Shorty. He was in a lot of trouble over some buisiness fraud and was linked to a lot of bigshots. They murdered him close to where the money was found, shot in the back of the head and no gun was found. They said he used a raft to hold the gun and it floated away after he killed himself. Yes they ruled he killed himself with a shotgun blast to the back of the head.
