also to note

In late 1990's a high end collector contacted me in reference to a will of a Hall of Famer that he was being offered. He knew that my father was in law enforcement and ask if he would look into it be stolen or not. My father checked with the county clerks office that was listed on the will and was told that the will was safe and sound.

A few years latter the collector placed the will in an auction and by chance the lady who my father had spoken too saw an article in the news paper about the auction and saw that the will she was asked about was listed. She went to check on the will and found it missing from the county files. She went back through her call log, found my fathers name and contacted the FBI with the information.

The will was retrieved from the auction and returned to the County.
