Episode 11 Part 2 of 2: Art Heist
xoxo, Jules and Jo
Audio Steve joins Jules today and Jo will return in episode 12!
Today I am going to take you back to the nation’s most expensive private robbery to date- In 1990, in Boston Massachusetts, at the Stewart Gardner Museum when in just 81 minutes 13 pieces of art were stolen- and have never been seen since.

This is the story of the Great Boston Art Heist and how the men responsible walked away with over 500 million dollars’ worth of art- without a single shot fired. Zero casualties. And a museum desperate for answers.

This case remains unsolved today and without any official suspects.

We’ll dive into the actual heist and details behind it, what was stolen, the FBI’s investigations, and wild rumors and theories.

So, let’s see what we can find out, shall we?
