Stringbean didn’t trust banks, and kept a big stash at his home.
Yep. The home was sold again just a couple of years ago, and the new owners found even more thousands of dollars in cash hidden in a wall someplace.
These murders were brutal. Shame on the parole board.
...and he never found the money.
That stash was discovered only many years after his death too.
“In 1996, 23 years after the murders, $20,000 in paper money was discovered behind a chimney brick in Stringbean’s home. The money had deteriorated to such an extent that it was not usable and had to be turned in to a bank.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_%22Stringbean%22_Akeman
A number of years ago, I saw a TV program about the murder of Stringbean and his wife (it might have been "Mysteries and Scandals.") Grandpa Jones, who lived nearby, was interviewed for the program. He said it was common knowledge around Nashville that Stringbean kept a large sum of money in the house.
I live near where this double murder happened.

In the chimney. The money was rotten after so
