Nacoe Brown believes that his conviction of a bank robbery is tainted because of missing evidence – and he believes that a now dead prosecuting attorney is responsible for it. The man who put him in prison is dead, and there can be no chance for the right retrial to take place. That dead man, Jonathan Luna, is still facing accusations long after his death, and Brown is not the only one to have raised hell. According to anonymous sources, an article reports that Luna had actually committed suicide, or may have died during a suicide attempt that was actually staged, and all because he had been involved in stealing nearly forty thousand dollars in evidence money.

Bill Keisling, who wrote a book on Jonathan Luna, is frustrated with these accusations. Both he and a private investigator, Ed Martino, have long been looking into the death of Jonathan Luna, and are adamant in their belief that Luna had nothing to do with the disappearance of the evidence money. Martino, for his part, is working on accessing records in the files of Jonathan Luna; he also reports that he is working with federal prosecutors and has already turns more leads over to them.

Nacoe Brown is serving out a sentence of a quarter of a century. A pastor’s son, Brown turned to a Christian rapper’s career after serving eight years in jail due to troubles as a teenager. He claims to be spiritual, but records show that when he ran into problems with his finances, he had to start robbing banks in order to keep himself and his business afloat. At his trial, prosecutors brought over $63,000 dollars into court as evidence, with some of the money in the original wrappers that they were taken in from the bank. However, about $38,000 of that money could not be traced. After the trial was finished, the money also disappeared.

This discrepancy, according to Brown, may hold the keys to his case. According to some anonymous investigators, the money was lost somewhere between the courtroom, and the evidence storage vault of the courthouse. Could Luna have been involved in the missing money? Or were the FBI agents involved in the case, who were in charge of handling the money, the ones who carried the blame?

Private investigators now have even more work on their hands to see where the money went, and who brought it there. According to private investigators are tasked with more than just stakeouts and evidence collection. They need to trace different documents, talk to witnesses, and even go through tedious days of following people if only to get more evidence to help them solve cases.
