The news came to light during the radio morning show at 100.3 The Bull. One person reported that 500 envelopes full of cash and checks were found behind a loose toilet when workers moved insulation out of the wall, KPRC reports.
“There was a loose toilet in the wall, and we removed the tile,” the caller said. “We went to go remove the toilet, and I moved some insulation away and about 500 envelopes fell out of the wall, and I was like ‘Oh wow!’”
A representative from Lakewood Church acknowledged cash and checks were found at the facility during repairs.
The Houston Police Department is still investigating the seven-year-old case involving the disappearance of $600,000.
