A Guyanese police official said a tape from Jonestown documents the mass death event and gunfire. About $1 million in Jonestown funds, mostly hundred dollar bills, was found, with $500,000 inside the settlement and another $500,000 in a jungle suitcase abandoned by a survivor. The tape reportedly includes Jim Jones urging mothers to keep children calm as they die.
