From All Access Net News:
CLEAR CHANNEL Top 40 WKSC (KISS 103.5)/CHICAGO's "DREX IN THE MORNING SHOW" unwittingly assisted the FBI in cracking a bank robbing case that had gone unsolved for 5 months last year, reports the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. During a portion of the morning program devoted to listener confessions (call occurred on 9/24/04), a man calling himself "D" phoned in and regaled DREX and crew with a tale of a robbery at a bank located within a local grocery store, giving specific details about the crime which netted he and his five accomplices $81,000 in APRIL of 2004. A worker at the bank heard the confession on the radio and called authorities, who then worked with CLEAR CHANNEL to trace the call.
The caller/robber, RANDY WASHINGTON, 24, appeared in federal court alongside accomplice WILLIAM SLATE this week to address the robbery charges. Authorities are still searching for 4 other men in connection to the crime, and ALL ACCESS suspects the at-large thieves will be none too happy to hear about WASHINGTON's radio confession.
