概要
Conservator Walks Into a Museum: The Farwell Painting Theft

A plain invoice, a nine-minute scheduled alarm window, and 42 phone calls connect a missing 1872 Thomas Cord landscape insured for $1.4 million to a conservator - but how did a county surveyor find the painting leaning against an irrigation pipe eleven days later? Who knew the mounting specs and the maintenance schedule well enough to plan the theft?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from the March 4 maintenance window through the March 15 discovery and the later arrests, unpacking the documents, phone records, and alibis that together pose the question: was this a random burglary or a theft executed with inside knowledge?
