I came across this story while googling around for the Flea post on Jose Melendez-Perez. This one has everything: history, mystery and heroism.

Not long before he retired in 2002, Supervisory Customs Inspector Jim MacKenzie found something at an auction that piqued his interest: a box containing the brass buttons from an old Customs Service uniform, three .32 caliber bullets, a round Customs inspector's badge, and a picture postcard of an officer wearing a cap and uniform in the style of the early 1900s.
