'Last Seen' Podcast Asks: What If The World's Largest Art Heist Was An Inside Job?
Resume
On Monday, WBUR and The Boston Globe dropped the second episode of their new investigative podcast, Last Seen.
The podcast takes a deep dive look into what happened at the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in the early morning hours of March 18, 1990.
Nearly three decades ago, two thieves dressed as Boston cops went into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, tied up the two guards and stole 13 pieces of art now valued at half a billion dollars. In the 28 years since, there hasn't been one credible sighting of any of those pieces.
At the heart of episode two lies the question: Was the 1990 Isabella Gardner Museum heist an inside job? Could one of the security guards tied up that night--a 23-year-old Berklee College of Music dropout--be behind the largest art heist in history?
