Well that's kind of what I was thinking, but then I had to wonder, why would the BONUS be of such interest? If he snooped through a lot of stuff, then why would that particular piece interest him so much? Why not calculate Johns yearly salary? or pick some other deposit to focus on?

Also, since police didn't find anything with that amount on it, it seems that there were no paper records in their house of the bonus and where it came from. The only place it would have been was on their bank statement and that would not have shown what it was for.

No one ever mentioned that it looked like personal papers had been rifled through or moved around. I think that would have been important. (unless it's something that has never been leaked to the public)

and hence, it just seems unlikely :)
