This is one of the most moving cases that demonstrates the brilliance and tenacity of the American investigative machinery . Those murderers would have escaped the lethal injection for their wickedness and inhumanity toward innocent men but for the brilliance of very dedicated men .

[@donaldpruett852]

I clearly remember when this armored car heist took place. I was a Phoenix Fire Department Fire/arson investigator, just 2 years into that 15 year position. As it turned out the suspects were two brothers by the last name of Poland. On Arizona State Route 69 from I-17 to Prescott there is a "Poland Junction", a side dirt road that leads back to the old Poland Mine site. This Poland family has deep pioneer roots. The near-do-well brothers were dumb enough to go on a spending spree with their new wealth that got everybody's attention. 4X4 pick-up trucks, dirt bike motorcycles, all kinds of recreation toys. It ultimately drew the attention of Law enforcement.

[@williamkholmes]

First the bank implicates their 20 year employees and insults their integrity by questioning the wives of the brave dead guards, how dare you. Have you no decency? Then, and even after knowing the guards were killed, you state that the perpetrators were either State Police or impersonators. How much insensitivity do you have. You imply that State Police may have killed the guards and stolen the money. Why not simply say most likely the reports of state police spotted means these were imposters. I mean , you're saying this after there is a confirmed murder of the guards. Why imply State Police without saying imposters. This is ridiculous on the surface. Two men gave their lives for the banks, their company and the money, only to, first off, be considered as primary suspects for stealing the very money they gave their lives to protect, to add insult to that injury, you mud drag their poor worried wives of these dedicated, 20 year employees, you insult them and their husbands by probing into their finances, to see what kind of money they owed. Are you totally insensitive? Almost everyone pays a mortgage, many extremely high net worth individuals pay mortgages each month. Not at all unusual. You should have let the wives be, and pushed back on suspecting the guards, and focused on foul play against the guards. You had no reason to suspect these longtime highly loyal guards. You and your "we had to eliminate them as suspects" , so you put the brakes on finding the people who murdered them and insulted them and their wives first. My Father was FBI and I'm damn proud of that fact, and proud of you guys for what you do to protect us all. But I think you need to revisit the timeline of who you thought were suspects, and when. It didn't have to be the terrible insult it definitely was for a brief time, though the wives probably wouldn't say that, and hopefully didn't feel the insult like I have felt it for them. Just give loyalty a better priority where it's due, like it was in this instance. Thank you for your service and professionalism in protecting us all. Best wishes to all of you. May God continue to protect you all

The most important thing is not the brilliance of the fbi or the prosecutor but " prevention " This could have been prevented if there's adequate protection.

“Good men, religious men”. Ok, it SUCKS that this happened to them. Two great guys. But let’s talk about the religious part……what good did their god do? Look at how many people are murdered, raped, tortured, etc.; including children. Children raped by religious leaders. When will people finally realize that their invisible man in the sky doesn’t exist? Seriously, take off the god glasses you were indoctrinated to look through and think for yourself. No platitudes like, original sin, god’s mysterious, he has a plan, you’re born a sinner, it’s the devil, etc. Really…think about it, yourself. It makes no sense. None at all. Which is why you need “faith”. Faith is NOT a virtue. It’s believing without evidence and even when there’s mountains of evidence to the contrary. You make no other important decisions based on faith. You use evidence…right up until a god is involved. How convenient. Think. For. Yourself.

[@AdamJanz3D]

Ironically, Lori, it takes far more FAITH to be an atheist than it does to believe in God. 🙂 As for the crimes of those who falsely profess to know God, their free choice to commit evil no more disproves the existence of God than your free choice to commit evil does. God desires a loving relationship with His creation, that's why He didn't make you a puppet but gave you the freedom to choose. There's no love in a relationship if one party has "no choice". Of course, that's not to say that selfishly making wrong choices won't result in negative eternal consequences. We have all broken God's Holy laws, and since He is a just Judge, He cannot allow sin to ultimately go unpunished, and the penalty is eternity in Hell. But since God loves us so much, He absolutely does *NOT* want you or anyone else to go to Hell. It's a horrible place that was *NEVER* made for humans, but as a final place of torment for the devil and his rebellious demons. Sadly, however, many people end up *sending themselves* to eternal Hell after death because they stubbornly refuse the *full acquittal* that God lovingly offered to them through Jesus Christ. He paid the price we could never pay... He took the death penalty for you, Lori, and offers you a *FULL acquittal* from the crime of breaking God's laws. Simply turn away from following sin and turn to Jesus, calling upon Him to save you and be the Lord of your life. *Trust in Him alone* -- not in yourself, not in religion-- and you will be declared *righteous* in God's eyes and receive the *gift* of Eternal Life. That gift can never be earned or deserved, it is simply received by faith. ✝ "For *by grace* you have been saved *through faith* , and that not of yourselves; it is the *gift* of God, *not of works*, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). ✝ Jesus said to him, "I am the *way*, the *truth*, and the *life*. No one comes to the Father *except through Me*" (John 14:6). ✝ "For *whoever calls* on the name of *the LORD* shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
