movieguy Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 After 20 Years, Wallet With $177 Returned By Associated Press April 5, 2005, 8:14 AM EDT JACKSON, Wyo. -- Twenty years after losing her wallet, along with $177 and her Social Security card, Lisa Tonks finally has it back. Tonks lost the wallet during a family trip in 1985 to Jackson and Yellowstone National Park. The wallet was turned over to police, but without more information, and because the case was considered a minor one, it collected dust on a shelf along with other old evidence, including drug paraphernalia and weapons. Jackson police technician Tom Turcol decided to reopened the case using a police computer network and some investigative know-how. He traced the Social Security number to Tonks, of Peru, Ind. "She was quite surprised," Turcol said. "She figured it was gone and that's that." Copyright 2005 Newsday Inc. www.newsday.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
