Rothstein was promptly arrested. After he telephoned police but before they contacted him. Bill was a former student at Sky High

In custody, Rothstein claimed that Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, an ex-girlfriend he had dated in the late 1960s and early 1970s, had murdered her then-boyfriend with a shotgun purchased in a newspaper during a dispute over money. Rothstein claimed she subsequently paid him $2,000 to help hide the body and clean the shooting scene at her home.[14] He claimed to have called the police out of fear, describing Diehl-Armstrong as dangerous and manipulative. The following day, she was arrested.

A musical prodigy who graduated near the top of her high school class, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong's adult life was characterized by hoarding and bipolar disorder.[15] She was known to authorities, due to her husband and several later partners dying under suspicious circumstances.[16] In 1984 she was arrested for killing boyfriend Robert Thomas, but was acquitted on grounds of self-defense.[15]

Rothstein who was also a intelligent and manipulative man died of lymphoma in July 2004, aged 60.[7] Floyd Stockton, a friend who lived at Rothstein's house during the time of the bank robbery plot, was also believed to be involved. He was granted immunity for his testimony against Diel-Armstrong, but was never called to testify in court due to illness.[1]
