I really hope that we get an explanation for where these paintings ended up in my life time. Obviously I’d like to see them recovered too, but mostly I need answers.
Yes, I recall a good podcast covering this. Wouldn't surprise me if Whitey Bulger had some hand in it all. Perhaps it will be found in an attic somewhere
A stolen painting from UofA in Tucson was recovered during an estate sale. Family said it was hung behind the bedroom door so no one ever saw it except the couple who stole it.
