Terrifying & True | The Gardner Museum Heist — 13 Masterpieces Still Missing
from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert
Two men dressed as police enter Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and leave with thirteen works of art. Terrifying & True reconstructs the March 18, 1990, heist, from restrained guards and an 81-minute stay to the puzzling selection of objects taken. Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee and Vermeer's The Concert are among the losses examined. The episode follows security clues, investigative theories, and the empty frames that became symbols of the theft. Why these works, why this route, and what might the thieves' choices reveal about the people behind the plan?
