US Man Wanted
in Costa Rica Murder Arrested in Chicago
Matthew Francis Nolan has been arrested by
the FBI in his hometown of Chicago and is
now awaiting extradition to Costa Rica to
face murder and kidnapping charges.
Matthew is the older brother of, Dark Knight
(Batman) director Christopher Nolan.
According to the the bureau's Windy City
office, the Violent Crimes Task Force
apprehended the 40-year-old Nolan without
incident as he was leaving a bankruptcy
court hearing yesterday.
Nolan has been wanted in Costa Rica since
2006, when local authorities charged him
with the kidnapping and murder of a Florida
businessman a year earlier.
According to the FBI, Nolan concocted a
Joker-worthy plot to lure the victim, Robert
Cohen, to a hotel by pretending to be a
multimillionaire jewel merchant hoping to do
a business deal. Instead, Nolan intended to
recoup $7 million Cohen owed another Florida
man. Nolan and an accomplice, Douglas Mejia,
allegedly held Cohen ransom in hopes of
extracting the money, but when the family
failed to meet their demands, they killed
him.
Mejia was convicted of kidnapping and murder
and is now in prison.
Nolan was arrested just as police were
probing his role in a separate $700,000
bank-fraud scheme. He's been ordered held
without bond until extradition proceedings
are completed.
