• Guns 'N Roses Leaker's Fate Rests in the Band's Hands (Wired) - The feds may have their hooks into him, but Guns 'N Roses leaker Kevin Cogill's real headache is still the band. Chances of him getting any jail time are slim, but Guns 'N Roses could bankrupt him -- if they want to.

No one ever found the clothes he allegedly wore that night -- or the gun. The motorcycle was not found until months later. Cellphone tower records that might have pinpointed Oliveira near Estefano's house were not pulled in time.
