New York Police Seek Lead in 12 Million Dollar Heroin Theft
Police Commissioner Patrick Murphy vowed to trace the loss of 57 pounds of heroin from the French Connection raid held in a vault at police headquarters. He plans to question all involved, including former detective Eddie Egan, now a California movie consultant. The 1962 seizure, part of a 270 pound shipment, was discovered during an audit and had been moved across offices for 11 years. Some heroin was replaced with white powder, and a fictitious badge number and fake signature were used by the theft suspect. The case remains open with three files active.
