A Fisherman Finds a Gilded Frame: The DFL-114 Heist

A fisherman found a gilded frame and an oil on linen in a crate in a creek four miles south of Minden, Indiana on a Tuesday morning in the second week of September 2011 - yet the same painting, catalogued as DFL-114, was hanging in the Hartwell Collection outside Philadelphia at the same time. How did a canal scene attributed to a follower of Jan van Goyen end up both in a creek in Indiana and on a museum wall without anyone at the Hartwell knowing it was gone?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from the discovery in the shallows to the FBI Cultural Property Unit's arrival, detailing the crate's customs record, the museum's condition reports, and the forensic findings that revealed a substitution. Can the shipping manifest, the museum's conservation evidence, and a three-letter scratch explain who engineered the swap?
Person: Craig Davis
Date: September 2011
Location: four miles south of Minden, Indiana
Case: DFL-114
Institution: Hartwell Collection
- The crate cleared Chicago O'Hare customs on September 4 under reference number 71104B and was declared a reproduction of no commercial value.
- Craig Davis called Minden County Sheriff's Department at 6:47 AM after finding the crate in the creek.
- DFL-114 is a canal scene, circa 1640, measuring 22 inches wide by 18 inches tall, attributed to a follower of Jan van Goyen.
- FBI agent Russell Mitchell, 38 years old with seven years in art-crime recovery, arrived in Minden by Thursday, September 15.
- Conservator Patricia Voss had condition-checked DFL-114 fourteen months earlier and under UV found the canvas on the wall fluoresced inconsistently and contained an abrasion hiding the scratched letters V.T.R.
