Episode 1: Unveiling Mary’s Story and Koch’s Deception
Welcome to Crime & Canvas, the podcast that exposes the hidden truths behind the world's biggest art heist. In this gripping debut episode, join host Suzanne Kenney as she unravels the shocking beginning of her 15-year quest for justice.
Our story starts not in a museum, but in a Florida flea market in 1991, where Suzanne's mother, Mary, unknowingly crossed paths with a man named "Ed Koch." Discover how these seemingly innocent art transactions involving masterpieces by Van Gogh, Picasso, and Manet, documented with mysterious handwritten notes, led to an unbelievable revelation: "Ed Koch" was actually billionaire Frederick R. Koch.
Suzanne reveals the chilling details of Frederick R. Koch's elaborate deception, including his faked aneurysm and elaborate fake obituaries, hinting at a mastermind with a flair for the dramatic. Learn about his secretive life, his family's high-stakes lawsuits, and his hidden connections to the art world in Miami.
This episode lays the groundwork for how a daughter's search for answers about her mother's past unexpectedly collided with a billion-dollar international art crime. It’s a tale of betrayal, hidden identities, and the first steps on a path where no one wanted Suzanne to succeed.
Listen now to hear:
- Mary's initial encounters with Frederick R. Koch at the flea market.
- The surprising true identity of "Ed Koch" and his background.
- The documented evidence of Koch's faked death in the early 90s.
