The chief investigator for a Boston museum still working to recover $500 million worth of art stolen in 1990 says he's hoping for new leads to emerge following the death of a key figure in the case.

FILE - In this March 11, 2010 file photo, empty frames from which thieves took"Storm on the Sea of Galilee," left background, by Rembrandt and"The Concert," right foreground, by Vermeer, remain on display at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. The paintings were among more than a dozen works stolen from the museum March 21, 1990, in what is considered the largest art theft in history.

But Anthony Amore, who is also the museum's security director, said investigators had not been focused entirely on Gentile. The museum, which is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the artwork’s recovery, is conducting its investigation alongside and in partnership with the FBI, Amore said.

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 he served several years in prison after they found firearms he was prohibited from owning as a convicted felon.
