WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Maryland federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna withdrew $200 from an ATM in Delaware in the hours before he was dumped in a creek to drown after a vicious knife attack, sources close to the investigation told CNN.

The sources said a surveillance camera at the ATM recorded images suggesting Luna was alone during the cash withdrawal and that he did not seem agitated. The tape shows he was still wearing his tie.

Investigators continue to try to recreate Luna's movements and route after leaving his office the evening of December 3.

Sources said the government has subpoenaed toll booth and EZ-Pass records, including ones from the Pennsylvania Turnpike. From what has been reconstructed of his travels, Luna took an indirect route from Baltimore to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where his body was found December 4.

Luna also purchased some items with a credit card at a gas station, the sources said, but officials said there was no camera at the gas station so authorities do not know if Luna was accompanied when he stopped at the convenience store in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, not far from Philadelphia.

Investigators looking into Luna's death have found no clear motive and have made no major breakthroughs, a government source told CNN.

The source said investigators so far believe that Luna's death was related to his personal life, not his work as prosecutor.

But while investigators have found some suspicious things in his personal life -- possible debt problems, a credit card his wife didn't know about and messages left on adult Web sites -- they have not ruled out the possibility the death was job-related and continue to pore over his cases for clues.
