The Gardner Heist

Studio 360

Nineteen years ago in Boston, two guys wearing fake police uniforms walked into the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum and an hour later walked out with masterpieces worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The FBI is still looking for the crooks and the stolen art, but reporter Ulrich Boser thinks he’s solved the mystery. Kurt talks with Boser about his new book, The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World’s Largest Unsolved Art Theft.
