Welcome back to Crime & Canvas, the podcast that exposes the hidden truths behind the world's biggest art heist. In this pivotal Episode 4, host Suzanne Kenney recounts her personal journey of investigation, detailing the intensive research and astonishing discoveries that led her to unravel a billion-dollar art crime and confront the powerful forces attempting to keep it secret.
Suzanne describes how her initial efforts to authenticate her mother Mary’s artwork reignited in 2010, leading to the shocking revelation of "Ed Koch's" true identity: billionaire Frederick R. Koch. With this discovery came the chilling realization of a faked obituary and an elaborate theatrical deception by a Yale-trained playwright.
This episode dives into Suzanne's meticulous research in Miami, where she uncovered direct links between "Ed Koch" and the art world, including "Art Restoration" and "International Art Trading" companies located at what is now the Museum of Contemporary Art. She also shares how news articles about Frederick R. Koch's family history—detailing his disinheritance, accusations of theft, and "amoral" character—aligned perfectly with his deceptive actions.
