Neil Cronin perished in an automobile accident in 2003. This article juxtaposes the accident with an investigation into an art theft where there was a $5 Million reward for the recovery.
When FBI agent David Nadolski learned that Carmello Merlino was discussing with associates his hopes of gaining recovery of the stolen Gardner artwork, he asked Cronin to join the investigation. Merlino told them both that the $5 million reward offered by the museum for return of the artwork was spurring his efforts and he was to talking to several longtime friends in and out of the criminal underworld in his efforts. The talks led nowhere and ended when Merlino and three others were arrested in early 1999 for trying to rob an armored car depot in Easton. A 23-year veteran of the FBI, Cronin died in 2003 in a car crash on Rt. 495 in Wrentham.

Cronin had recommended the release of an inmate for being a "cooperative witness" that went on to kill someone on Father's Day, resulting in the FBI paying a settlement of $5 Million.
The family blamed federal FBI agents, who helped a hoodlum named Henry Lewis Marshall III win early release from a Massachusetts prison to work as an informer.
"I believe they are responsible for my husband's death, every bit as much as if they pulled the trigger themselves," Janyce Griswold, 61, said last week.

The story takes a bizarre turn when you take into consideration the released murderer's father was the infamous "Lover's Lane" serial rapist and was also allowed free from prison in exchange for cooperating as an FBI informant.
Horne said in June 1994, he charged Henry Lewis Marshall III, 34, with aggravated murder for the shooting death of tavern keeper Dennis Griswold, 57, at the 38th Street Pub in Tacoma during an armed robbery.
Marshall, whose stepfather was the notorious Lover’s Lane serial rapist Carl E. Leavitt of Franklin, was a former motorcycle gang member who had been paroled in Massachusetts in January 1994 to serve as an FBI informant. He had been serving a four-to-six-year prison term for the April 1990 nonfatal shooting of a Taunton man, records show.

Considering Jeffrey Epstein was allowed to roam free in exchange for cooperation, it seems the pretty clear that the FBI has a long history of working with criminals and allowing them to operate above the law in exchange for useless information that does not lead to arrests.
