According to the Chicago Sun Times:
"Matthew Francis Nolan, 40, of the South Shore neighborhood, was under investigation by Chicago Police in a $700,000 bank-fraud scheme when FBI agents here nabbed him last month in connection with a 2005 killing in Central America.
Matthew Nolan is wanted in Costa Rica in the kidnapping and murder of Florida businessman Robert C. Cohen.
Matthew Nolan pretended he was interested in doing business in Costa Rica when the two met in a hotel. But his real mission was to recover $7million Cohen owed another Florida man, authorities said.
An accomplice kidnapped Cohen and the men tried to extort the money from Cohen's family; but when that failed, they killed Cohen, Costa Rican authorities said.
Matthew Nolan's alleged accomplice, Douglas Mejia, has been convicted. Nolan is being held here awaiting extradition proceedings.
Sources said Chicago Police were investigating Matthew Nolan in an unrelated, $700,000 check-kiting scheme."
