Remains in Cape Linked to Infamous Rochester Heist

This is an interesting story. I remember when the body parts in the Cape story broke in the 90s, and now we find out they are from a man involved in the infamous 1993 Brinks robbery in Rochester. Ronnie Gibbons was not directly in on the heist but apparently felt he was entitled to a share of the $7.3 million dollars. When he came to Rochester to pick up his loot, he disappeared....until he showed up in Cape Vincent.
Years of following leads and DNA helped in nailing down Mr. Gibbon's fate. It's an interesting read.

Was there any reward for the dude...dead or alive? If so....some one needs to collect the money they earned fishing.
