Official caption: Diver James P. Bodor, 23, finds a shotgun after he and officers dragged the bottom of the Cal-Sag canal at 107th Street and Archer Avenue looking for evidence in the Brink’s Express robbery case on Aug. 5, 1949. Four men robbed the South Chicago Savings bank, located at 2959 E. 92nd Street, on June 25, 1949 and killed two Brink’s Express guards, Joseph Den, 40, and Bruno Koziol, 36. The police had a confession from robber James Hoyland who fingered the other three bandits, Joseph Jakalski, Richard Tamborski, and David Edgerly. (Chicago Tribune historical photo)
Thanks for posting this! The diver is my uncle. Can you help me find any other photos of him? There were other instances of him retrieving guns of various sorts.
Best!
Not more photographs of your uncle but some more background to the case https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg4pQKRrzBJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&img_index=5
