The 290 ransom bills found at Tena Bar: picture
Three packets of 100, 100 and 90 bills with rubber bands intact, decayed at the edges, some blackened with silver (a possible fingerprint-test residue). Serial numbers match the ransom. The find spot was never recorded by the FBI; it was relocated in 2009 from excavation photographs.
