So Christopher Nolan has an older brother named Matthew. Back in 2009 Matthew was charged by the Costa Rican government with the murder of an accountant named Robert Cohen, who was killed four years prior. As the story goes, he went by the alias 'MM McCall-Oppenheimer' to appear related to the Oppenheimer diamond family and get closer to Cohen. Costa Rica unsuccessfully tried to extradite Matthew Nolan from Chicago, where he was living at the time. While in custody though, he was caught trying to escape and was sentenced to 14 months in jail.


What a weird story I had no idea about and weird coincidence.

quote:

"Costa Rica contends that 'Mejia contacted the accused [Nolan] and for a still undetermined amount of money, hired his services, both of them planning the manner in which they would deprive the victim of his freedom, in order to later murder him,'" casetexts.com summarized. However, the site also states that "Costa Rica did not submit evidence corroborating its assertion that Mejia hired Nolan[…]for the express purpose of murdering Cohen."

He was arrested by FBI agent Pablo Araya that year [2009] and formally charged with Cohen's murder by Costa Rican authorities. However, a judge in the U.S. did not see sufficient evidence to extradite him, leading to the central American country eventually abandoning their request in 2010, according to the website howstuffworks.com.

While he was being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, Nolan attempted to escape and was sentenced to 14 months in jail as a result. After serving his time, Nolan was released. His current whereabouts and condition are unknown.
