BONUS: The Gardner Heist Conspiracies

Today we bring you our first Vanishing Point bonus episode! In this episode, we decided to take a trip down the internet rabbit hole and read some conspiracy theories about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Heist. We explore how conspiracies come to fruition, discuss some favorites, and then explore some theories about Harvard University, FBI agents gone rogue, underwater art vaults, and stolen De Koonings.
