The partial palm print on the door bought investigators twelve crucial hours

An electrician finds $2.1M in a utility corridor-can investigators trace the money back to the missing door? The partial palm print on the door bought investigators twelve crucial hours In this episode, we follow how a routine meter reading turned into a federal investigation when two million dollars was found in a service corridor at a regional Nevada casino. The episode lays out the players, the gaps in security, and the strange pattern of weekly calls that kept losses below audit triggers-did those clues point to an inside operation?
