Investigators hope for new leads in Boston museum robbery

, had long been suspected of possessing at one time some of the pieces taken from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in history’s largest art heist. He denied having any role or knowledge of the paintings’ location up until the end of his life.

“One interesting thing is when masterpieces like these are stolen they are often recovered and oftentimes it happens a generation or two after the heist,” Amore said in an interview. “And sometimes that’s because somebody passes away or relationships become estranged. And perhaps with Mr. Gentile’s passing, someone will feel liberated to speak about what they know. That’s conjecture. That’s hopeful talk.”Acting U.S.

On March 18, 1990, two men masquerading as Boston police officers got into the museum by telling a security guard they were responding to a report of a disturbance, according to authorities. The guard and a co-worker were handcuffed and locked in the basement while the thieves made off with the 13 pieces of art.

Federal authorities described Gentile as a person of interest, saying he talked about the stolen paintings with fellow prisoners and once told an undercover FBI agent he had access to two of the paintings and could negotiate the sale of each for $500,000. His home outside Hartford was searched several times by federal agents, and heafter they found firearms he was prohibited from owning as a convicted felon.

I really don't get the whole 'steal art' crap. Just stupid. So humans to do. What are they going to do with it? I mean the buyers but the thiefs (money). They can't show it to anyone.

Get Geraldo Rivera; he's had experience with this if there's a basement involved😏
