Welcome back to Crime & Canvas, the podcast that exposes the hidden truths behind the world's biggest art heist. In this emotionally charged Episode 5, host Suzanne Kenney lays bare the relentless authentication challenges she has faced, revealing the profound resistance from institutions and individuals in her decade-long pursuit of justice for her mother's art story.

Suzanne details the infuriating brick walls she encountered while attempting to authenticate multi-million dollar artworks and expose a billion-dollar art crime. Despite reaching out to prominent figures like former FBI agent Robert Wittman and Julian Radcliffe of the Art Loss Register, and contacting numerous art foundations, museums, and media outlets, every avenue has been met with unyielding denial and, at times, outright intimidation.

This episode features a particularly unsettling account of Suzanne's meeting with Robert Wittman, where she unexpectedly encountered three of the Koch brothers and John Olsen, Frederick Koch's companion, leading to a series of bizarre and intimidating interactions. Suzanne also unpacks the frustrating "inconclusive" scientific tests on the Calder drawings, arguing that the results, far from being a setback, actually underscore the authenticity and antiquity of the artwork.

Listen now to hear:

  • The extensive list of individuals and institutions Suzanne has contacted, highlighting the universal resistance she has faced in authenticating the artworks and exposing the truth.
  • The alarming experience of encountering Charles, David, and William Koch, and John Olsen, at an event where Suzanne intended to seek Robert Wittman's help.
  • The peculiar circumstances surrounding a briefcase left near Suzanne and her son, and John Olsen's hostile glare, suggesting deliberate intimidation tactics.
  • Suzanne's frustrating conversation with Robert Wittman, who dismissed her claims despite compelling evidence, further demonstrating institutional reluctance.
  • How the "inconclusive" ink test results for the Alexander Calder drawings paradoxically confirm their genuine antiquity and connection to the specified period.

Dive into the truth that authorities ignore. The real story continues here.
