If you're not familiar with where Grand Tower, Illinois is, it's a tiny river town in the extreme southwestern part of the state not that far north from Cape Girardeau on the other side of the Mississippi River. The postal inspection service doesn't mention exactly what was taken in this robbery, but the $100,000 reward must mean it's significant. Messing with the mail in any way is a federal crime so perhaps that's why the reward (and likely punishment for the culprit) is so major.
