MARYSVILLE, Ohio (WSYX) — A money mys- tery in Marysville has police trying to figure out where nearly $40,000 came from.
More than $25,000 was found in the restroom at the Avalon Theatre on Saturday, and then, Thursday night, more than $12,000 was found in the restroom at a KFC restau- rant on Delaware Avenue.
Investigators said they're pretty sure the discoveries are related, but still don't know where the cash came from.
"We're trying to figure out whose money it is, and what possible connection it could be ... to anything that we could see in the city," Marysville Police Capt. Nate Sachs said.
The bills found were in mul- tiple denominations like fives, tens, and even $100 bills. Police are urging any- one who might find other cash dumps to contact them.
Sachs also said he expects BCI and the Secret Service to join the investigation.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Nearly 5 miles off the coast of Miami Beach, a yacht sits at the bottom of the ocean.
This vessel — dubbed the Ostwind — has a strange history. It was once owned by Adolf Hitler.
The 80-foot-long yacht was commissioned by the infa- mous dictator in 1938 as an Olympic racing yacht, though it never actually competed.
According to historian Mike Miller, Hitler’s plan was to ride the yacht into England after Germany’s victory, where he would accept Winston Churchill’s surren- der aboard the boat.
However, history had differ- ent plans.
After Germany’s defeat, the U.S. reportedly took control of the Ostwind, which was used as a training craft at
the U.S. Naval Academy before being sold to a Nazi memorabilia collector in the 1970s, the Ocala Star- Banner reports.
The collector took the yacht to Jacksonville for repairs, but it was ultimately aban- doned, and a marina owner then took possession.
Despite offers from a Nazi group to buy the yacht and turn it into a shrine, the marina owner ultimately reached out to Miami Beach officials about using the Ostwind as an artificial reef.
Eventually, the boat was taken from Jacksonville down to Miami Beach in 1989, and it was sunk off the coast to around 275 feet deep, state records indicate.
Nowadays, the only way to view the WWII-era relic is to throw on some scuba gear and take a dive.
