A jogger noticed a subtle difference in a familiar bronze at Kellner Botanical Park and what followed was a quiet, elaborate swap: the piece on the plinth was a recently cast reproduction while the original sat in a Columbus conservation facility. How did a man with a rented workshop, 47 photographs, a silicone impression and $60,000 in casting equipment swap a decades-old sculpture without anyone noticing until a runner slowed down?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the people involved, and the physical evidence that reveal how the replacement was planned and executed, closing on the central question of motive and method that started with a morning run.
Person: Crystal Ford
Date: November 14, 2019
Location: Kellner Botanical Park, Mossfield, Ohio
Weight recorded by crane operator: 410 pounds
Declared reproduction value at border: $4,200
- The jogger, Crystal Ford, first noticed something wrong at 6:40 a.m, on November 14, 2019.
- The original Resting Figure No. 4 had been purchased by Frank Gebhardt in 1989 and kept privately for about 30 years.
- Duane Holmes took 47 photographs of the sculpture during landscaping visits in summer 2018 and pressed a silicone impression into a 12-inch section of the torso.
- Holmes invested roughly $60,000 in casting equipment over four years and worked 18 months in a rented workshop outside Chillicothe.
- Crane operator Kevin Sparr logged the sculpture's weight as 410 pounds while the Marsh estate record listed the original at 458 pounds (a 48-pound difference).
