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.
Listen now to hear:
- How Suzanne's children helped her identify Frederick R. Koch, leading to her mother's excited recognition of the "man from the market."
- The chilling email exchange with John Olsen, Frederick Koch's companion, and the blatant contradictions in his denial of Koch's involvement.
- Suzanne's extensive Miami research, including uncovering "Ed Koch's" connections to art restoration and international art trading companies, and linking them to the present-day Museum of Contemporary Art.
- The unsettling family history of Frederick R. Koch, including his disinheritance, accusations of theft, and a vast fortune amassed without conventional work.
- Suzanne's powerful argument that high-level corruption and the influence of wealth have systematically suppressed the truth about this art crime.
