概要
A straight frame and a missing painting: a modest nineteenth-century panel, appraised at $48,000, vanished from a locked gallery at 11:18 PM without a broken pane, a triggered alarm, or a forced exit - so how did a thief remove a work and rehang an empty frame without disturbing anything else?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the people, and the small technical details that made the theft possible, from the conservator's odd observation to the gallery's private access system - and ask what the single clue about crossword-grid mnemonics might reveal about who walked in and walked out.
Person: Pete Tolliver
Person: Warren Gardner
Person: George Purcell
Event: Theft of Evening, Looking West
Date: September 9, 2019
- The painting Evening, Looking West was appraised at $48,000 and on loan for the "Ohio Light" show.
- The theft was discovered at 5:27 AM by a 15-year-old paper carrier who found a service door standing open.
- Motion sensors stopped reporting at 11:18 PM and resumed at 11:41 PM, a 23-minute gap logged as a scheduled diagnostic test.
- Gallery owner Pete Tolliver used crossword-puzzle grid numbers as mnemonics for access codes and mentioned this on a podcast episode that had 412 plays.
- Conservator Iris Belton noted a small flake loss with unusual brightness at the painting's lower left corner during a condition check six weeks before the theft.
