Episode Six: The 1991 Fire Tantrum & The Timeline

Welcome back to Crime & Canvas, the podcast that exposes the hidden truths behind the world's biggest art heist. In this groundbreaking Episode 6, host Suzanne Kenney unravels a mystery that began with cut paintings and a vague explanation, leading to the discovery of a disastrous fire that ties directly to billionaire Frederick R. Koch and a chilling timeline of events.

Suzanne begins by revealing the unusual condition of some of the artworks "Ed Koch" sold her mother, Mary—literally sliced from their frames and bearing water damage. Koch's explanation of a "fire at an art storage warehouse" seemed like an obscure detail until Suzanne's relentless research exposed its stunning significance.

This episode culminates in the discovery of the James Bourlet Storage fire in London on October 7, 1991, a blaze that destroyed millions in art and collectibles, many belonging to Frederick R. Koch. Suzanne connects this fire to a string of events, including Koch's thwarted plans for a London museum, the mysterious murder of Robert Donati (a suspect in the Gardner Heist), and Koch's sudden appearance in Mary's life just weeks later. She also reveals irrefutable digital evidence—iPad searches originating from Monaco and London—that links Frederick R. Koch and John Olsen directly to terms like "art fraud," indicating a desperate panic over exposure.
