LOS ANGELES -- The mystery in the case of last week's crash of a $1 million Ferrari Enzo on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu is deepening.

Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives told the Los Angeles Times that they believe a gun's magazine discovered near the wreckage is connected to the crash, and they plan to interview an unnamed person who they believe was in the car with Swedish game machine entrepreneur Stefan Eriksson.
The crash has also garnered the attention of a leading Scottish bank, which has informed sheriff's investigators that it may own the destroyed car, The Times reported.
At the same time, detectives are trying to figure out why another exotic car in Eriksson's extensive collection, a Mercedes SLR, was listed as stolen by Scotland Yard in London, Sheriff's Sgt. Phil Brooks told The Times.
The totaled Ferrari was one of two Enzos that Eriksson brought into the United States from England along with the Mercedes SLR, Brooks told the newspaper. But detectives have concluded that the totaled vehicle did not have appropriate papers and was not "street legal" in California.
Detectives have been trying to sort out what exactly happened last week ago, when Eriksson's Enzo -- one of only 400 ever made -- smashed into a telephone pole while moving at 162 miles an hour.
Eriksson told deputies he was the passenger and that a man he knew only as "Dietrich" was behind the wheel. But detectives noted that Eriksson had a bloody lip and that the only blood visible in the car was on the driver's-side air bag.
