scuba tanks This month, Dennis Y. O'Hair was set to face trial for first-degree murder. He had been charged with killing Jason Schulwitz who investigators found bound, beaten and stuffed into a garbage can in the back of his Ford Expedition in December, 1999. Officials believe Schulwitz had failed to repay Colombians who supplied him with counterfeit money and cocaine, and O'Hair was dispatched to exact revenge. However, due to insufficient evidence, and the death of the lead investigator, charges against O'Hair have been dropped.

According to the U.S. attorney's office, Schulwitz transported at least 70 pounds of cocaine and $225,000 in "exceptionally high quality" counterfeit U.S. currency from Colombia to Spokane -- in scuba tanks.

3. Well, I was sentenced and found guilty when Jason was killed for related drug activities. I always search the web for any news regarding this case, Jason was my best friend. That is why I am at this site. Anyways, the scuba tank was a common way to smuggle drugs through the airport security. I am definately not suggesting anyone attempt this, and I am reformed and against it altogether. Since 911, I doubt this method is even being used. Incase anyone is curious, carbon fiber paper was used to make the tanks apear empty or full of air when being put through the x-ray machines. So, Jason died and it goes to show you that drug dealing never really pays.
