A suspect in the $1 million World Trade Center robbery showed up at a friend's house with $10,000 cash, then went on a shopping spree and splurged on a lobster dinner, the friend said Friday.
The suspect, Michael Reed, didn't seem to enjoy the meal, though."He was very scared," his friend, John Costello, said from his kitchen in Brooklyn on Friday.
Reed "thought he was going to get whacked," Costello said.
Costello spoke to The Associated Press after being questioned by the FBI. He said he believes somebody else was behind the heist and that he was talking to the AP because he, too, was afraid.
So far the FBI has implicated only three suspects, including Reed, in Tuesday's heist. The three were identified by neighbors in Brooklyn who recognized their faces on security-camera pictures shown on television and on front pages. Neighbors described the three as having minor criminal records and drug habits.
