There is no explanation for the Orlando stop over. Perhaps it had to do with being rewarded with a free pass to Disney World for pulling off the heist, somewhat like a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Or, perhaps Mr. Nivelo met a cruise ship and the gold is out to sea. Naturally, the investigation continues. And perhaps naturally, the gold rush leads to California.
At least Mr. Nivelo, or whatever his real name is, is not by any accounts a terrorist. A thief for sure. Apparently he's been arrested 7 times and deported 4 times. The revolving door on the deportations doesn't make you think much of the word Security when you hear the words Homeland Security.
As the Johnny Cash song goes, Mr. Nivelo is a 'Wanted Man.' A most wanted man, and probably not just by the authorities, but by the people who hired Mr. Nivelo, or who came in contact with him after the heist. I would think that actually finding the gold at this point is not going to happen.
The NYT has included the surveillance video that clearly shows the suspect reaching into the back of the unguarded Loomis truck and trying to get the best of carrying a bucket of dead weight that is clearly probably more than half his own weight.
The police video from the surveillance cameras has been stitched together and ends with Mr. Nivelo getting to 49th and 3rd near Smith and Wollensky's steak house, placing the bucket on the curb for a breather, then going to an awaiting parked white van and getting in.
And what is the vehicle that is parked in front of the white van? Why it is a Dunbar armored truck with the engine running. But the doors are closed.
Lucky for them.
