Welcome back to Crime & Canvas, the podcast unraveling the mysteries behind the world's biggest art crimes. In this explosive Episode 7, host Suzanne Kenney finally brings together all the crucial pieces of her 15-year investigation, revealing the shocking truth behind the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist.

After years of relentless pursuit, Suzanne exposes the hidden 'checklist' of the criminal mastermind, connecting seemingly disparate events—from her mother Mary's encounters with Frederick R. Koch to the pivotal London art storage warehouse fire and a significant murder tied to the Gardner Heist. Prepare for the moment when all the isolated pieces align with undeniable clarity.

Suzanne details the profound discovery that led her to solve this infamous art crime, a revelation that not only clarifies Frederick Koch's motives for selling her mother the artwork but also implicates him and his associate, John Olsen, as the true culprits behind the 1990 Gardner Museum heist. This episode also sheds light on the FBI's baffling response to Suzanne's evidence and the long-ignored connections between the Koch family, international art trading, and major art theft.

Listen now to hear:

  • How the stolen Gardner Museum inventory mirrored the artwork Frederick Koch sold to Mary, forming a "checklist."
  • The profound connection between the Jim Cassel print and the stolen Vermeer painting, "The Concert," that solidified Suzanne's theory.
  • New insights into Frederick Koch's motives, linking his actions to family tragedies, guilt, and a desperate attempt to "make things right."
  • The chilling timeline connecting the Gardner Heist, Mary Robinson Koch's death, Robert Donati's murder, and the London art storage fire.
  • Why the FBI dismissed crucial evidence that could have solved the heist years ago.
