Randy's story for today came over the teletype. It read "Charles Keller died today in the state penitentiary. Keller served 14 years of a 20 year sentence for armed robbery. Keller died still denying any knowledge of the $65,000 payroll robbery of 14 years ago. Keller's death deepens the mystery of the stolen money which was never recovered".
