Well, that's a win win for them. I wonder if the guys who organised the search got something too?

I still think there is more to this story than we will ever know, it would make a great film though.

Well, the updated story itself certainly appears to confirm that. I was rather astonished when I first read this update. Hardly the simple, "Oh, I think we might have your bass, here it is" story that had been passed to the press previously. I would certainly like to hear what has actually happened.

Maybe the payout was to STOP them making a film? Like, here's 100 grand, now you don't need to bother.

Wasn't the film called My Brave Bass or somesuch?
Repeat after me: CONTENT CREATION!
That was a total bust...
We know so much that I wish I hadn't read all of it.
What do we know for sure about the criminal?
(That he/she was at the crime scene).
