Stanley Cup-winning puck has been missing since Kane scored

The Chicago Tribune reports:
They usually spend their time analyzing drug dealers' cell phones or child traffickers' laptops for evidence, but Chicago FBI forensic experts recently lent their expertise to an altogether different kind of caper: finding the puck scored by the Blackhawks' Patrick Kane to win the 2010 Stanley Cup.

The puck has been missing since Kane slipped it into the back of the net during overtime of Game 6, ousting the Philadelphia Flyers. The goal happened so fast that few even realized he scored. Kane skated to the opposite end of the ice and into the arms of his teammates. They celebrated. The Flyers mourned on the bench.

And someone picked up the puck and made good their escape.
