Doesn’t make sense. What does a dead man need with $475,000?
How do we know he and the dead suspect are the same person? If they went this far why do I find it easy to fake a few documents proving his death.
maybe the cops told him they’d protect him; they’d usher him into witness protection or something. the fact that he’s dead (and I’m assuming he is because I haven’t seen all the details) that works out well for the police.
