Museum Surveillance Video Lends New Clues To Art Heist
Resume
Today brought the release of never-before-seen surveillance video footage connected to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist.
The grainy black and white footage has no audio, but shows a night watchman may have opened the museum's side door and let in an unidentified visitor just a day before the museum was robbed.
Police now wonder if that was a dry run for one of the world's greatest art heists. The FBI has released the video in hopes of identifying the second person.
