They believe they had
Boston Police uniforms.
418
00:20:12,042 --> 00:20:14,042
One was, I think,
shorter and stocky.
419
00:20:14,167 --> 00:20:17,207
Dark eyes, dark hair,
olive skin.
420
00:20:17,333 --> 00:20:20,503
One was thinner, wiry.
One had glasses on.
421
00:20:20,625 --> 00:20:24,035
The other has kind of
a bowl cut and dark eyes.
422
00:20:24,167 --> 00:20:25,877
Both of them had mustaches,
423
00:20:26,042 --> 00:20:28,292
but they kept on
pressing the mustache down,
424
00:20:28,292 --> 00:20:30,082

that they were false.

on the inside.
703
00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:38,787
It was around the time
that this informant
704
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:41,247
started working at TRC.
705
00:33:41,375 --> 00:33:45,035
Well, he reports back
to his FBI agent
706
00:33:45,208 --> 00:33:47,628
that they're talking
about the Gardener there.
707
00:33:47,625 --> 00:33:49,825
With all eyes
back on the garage,
708
00:33:49,958 --> 00:33:53,458
investigators turn their gaze
to someone new...
709
00:33:53,458 --> 00:33:57,708
a frequent visitor there,
Bobby Guarente.
710
00:33:57,875 --> 00:34:00,995
If you make a Venn diagram
of all the bad guys,
711
00:34:01,125 --> 00:34:03,205
and I did do this...
712
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:06,625
Everybody kind of
crosses paths with everybody,
713
00:34:06,625 --> 00:34:09,875
and Bobby Guarente
is in the middle of it.
714
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,880
Guarente is an
interesting character.
715
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,750
He's sort of a
jack-of-all-trades,
716
00:34:14,875 --> 00:34:18,075
and he is able to move fluidly
717
00:34:18,208 --> 00:34:20,208
through a lot
of different areas
718
00:34:20,333 --> 00:34:22,293
and amongst different groups.
719
00:34:22,292 --> 00:34:24,582
A lot of people used Guarente
720
00:34:24,708 --> 00:34:27,538
because he was trusted by
most people in this industry
721
00:34:27,667 --> 00:34:30,667
that they're in as much as
people can be trusted.
722
00:34:30,792 --> 00:34:34,292
My sense is
Donati reached out to him.
723
00:34:34,292 --> 00:34:37,332
The only person I know
who had the network
724
00:34:37,458 --> 00:34:39,878
that could fence it
was Guarente.
725
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,080
If Bobby Guarente had
a hand in moving the artwork,
726
00:34:44,208 --> 00:34:46,828
the FBI is unable
to get any answers from him.
727
00:34:46,958 --> 00:34:49,418
He dies in 2004.
728
00:34:49,542 --> 00:34:52,712
Surprisingly,
from natural causes.
729
00:34:52,875 --> 00:34:54,455
But this time,
730
00:34:54,583 --> 00:34:57,633
Guarente's death
is not a total dead-end.
731
00:34:57,625 --> 00:35:01,325
The FBI and the museum
get tips about a home
732
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:03,460
that Bobby Guarente owned
in Maine,
733
00:35:03,583 --> 00:35:06,383
reported to have
a spot big enough
734
00:35:06,542 --> 00:35:09,332
to hide a very big painting
like "Storm in the Sea."
735
00:35:09,333 --> 00:35:12,633
And they find a hiding spot
736
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:14,960
that fits
exactly this description.
737
00:35:14,958 --> 00:35:18,538
When they return the key to
Bobby Guarente's widow Elene,
738
00:35:18,667 --> 00:35:22,377
she said,
"I've seen those paintings.
739
00:35:22,542 --> 00:35:25,332
My Bobby had some
of those paintings."
740
00:35:25,458 --> 00:35:27,328
Although the prize paintings
741
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:29,673
are no longer
in their hiding place,
742
00:35:29,667 --> 00:35:32,497
the FBI believes
they were there.
743
00:35:32,625 --> 00:35:36,625
More importantly, they think
they know where they went.
744
00:35:36,625 --> 00:35:41,915
Elene Guarente tells a story
about being in Portland, Maine
745
00:35:42,042 --> 00:35:44,172
with her husband,
Bobby Guarente,
746
00:35:44,292 --> 00:35:47,502
and another fellow,
Bobby Gentile,
747
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:49,920
this Connecticut mobster.
748
00:35:50,042 --> 00:35:52,042
Everyone
has a best friend here.
749
00:35:52,167 --> 00:35:54,627
Bobby Gentile is a small-timer
750
00:35:54,625 --> 00:35:56,325
out of Manchester, Connecticut,
751
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:58,333
right outside of Hartford.
752
00:35:58,458 --> 00:36:01,828
Guarente and Gentile have
dinner with their wives
753
00:36:01,958 --> 00:36:03,328
at this seafood restaurant.
754
00:36:03,458 --> 00:36:05,538
At one point during that meal,
they got up
755
00:36:05,667 --> 00:36:08,627
and went to the parking lot
and went back inside.
756
00:36:08,625 --> 00:36:11,665
And then on the way home,
Guarente said,
757
00:36:11,667 --> 00:36:16,497
"You don't have to worry
about those pictures anymore."
758
00:36:16,625 --> 00:36:21,075
He passed them
to Bobby Gentile.
759
00:36:23,083 --> 00:36:25,833
It's now May, 2012,
760
00:36:25,958 --> 00:36:29,378
22 years since
the Gardner Museum heist,
761
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:31,670
and the FBI has chased leads
762
00:36:31,667 --> 00:36:35,037
from Boston to Brooklyn
to Maine.
763
00:36:35,167 --> 00:36:38,327
Their hunt now turns
to Connecticut
764
00:36:38,333 --> 00:36:41,463
and a small-time crook
named Bobby Gentile.
765
00:36:41,583 --> 00:36:44,793
So here's Bobby Gentile
in his 70s,
766
00:36:44,792 --> 00:36:48,502
living on a leafy street
in Manchester, Connecticut,
767
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,920
when he's served with
a warrant by the FBI
768
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:53,042
to search his property.
769
00:36:53,167 --> 00:36:56,127
They don't find what they're
looking for in the house.
770
00:36:56,125 --> 00:36:57,415
They leave, they come back
771
00:36:57,542 --> 00:36:59,462
with a warrant
for the garden shed.
772
00:36:59,458 --> 00:37:03,168
There were probably
ten, 15 vehicles.
773
00:37:03,333 --> 00:37:06,333
They had beagles
and golden retrievers
774
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:10,040
and video cameras,
guys in lab coats.
775
00:37:10,208 --> 00:37:11,418
I mean,
this was the production.
776
00:37:11,542 --> 00:37:13,922
They used side scan sonar
777
00:37:14,042 --> 00:37:16,502
to see if there was
anything buried in the yard.
778
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:19,330
And there was a void
under the shed.
779
00:37:19,458 --> 00:37:20,708
And that's
where they hit pay dirt.
780
00:37:26,125 --> 00:37:28,995
More than two decades
after the hunt began,
781
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,170
the FBI is searching
mobster Bobby Gentile's home,
782
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:34,922
and they find
a secret compartment
783
00:37:35,042 --> 00:37:36,672
under a backyard shed.
784
00:37:36,792 --> 00:37:39,462
I'm sitting
outside of the shed,
785
00:37:39,458 --> 00:37:43,328
and they're
cutting into the floorboards.
786
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:45,130
The excitement was palpable.
787
00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:47,500
And then they
pull the floorboard up,
788
00:37:47,625 --> 00:37:50,165
and everybody's
looking over the top.
789
00:37:50,292 --> 00:37:54,002
And then it's just...
790
00:37:54,125 --> 00:37:55,075
defeat.
791
00:37:55,208 --> 00:37:56,498
It's empty.
792
00:37:56,625 --> 00:37:58,075
Despite
their disappointment,
793
00:37:58,208 --> 00:38:00,328
the FBI finds evidence
794
00:38:00,333 --> 00:38:02,963
that's both intriguing
and incriminating.
795
00:38:02,958 --> 00:38:05,288
In the basement,
they have the "Boston Herald"
796
00:38:05,292 --> 00:38:07,582
from the day after the theft.
797
00:38:07,708 --> 00:38:10,248
Inside is a sheet of paper,
798
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:12,995
and it has all 13 pieces
that were stolen
799
00:38:13,125 --> 00:38:16,035
with what the piece would buy
on the black market.
800
00:38:16,167 --> 00:38:18,077
And unfortunately
for my client,
801
00:38:18,208 --> 00:38:21,288
they found a lot of guns
802
00:38:21,292 --> 00:38:26,132
and a few police uniforms,
uh, which was, uh,
803
00:38:26,125 --> 00:38:27,705
tough to explain.
804
00:38:27,833 --> 00:38:30,673
It all looks really bad
for Bobby Gentile.
805
00:38:30,833 --> 00:38:33,333
The circumstantial evidence
is strong
806
00:38:33,458 --> 00:38:38,668
that he had something
to do with the heist.
807
00:38:38,792 --> 00:38:40,832
Looking
at serious prison time
808
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,670
for the illegal weapons,
809
00:38:42,833 --> 00:38:45,333
Bobby Gentile agrees
to tell the FBI
810
00:38:45,333 --> 00:38:47,333
everything he knows
about the stolen art.
811
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:48,543
The only way
that they're going
812
00:38:48,667 --> 00:38:51,327
to be able to verify that
information is on a polygraph.
813
00:38:51,458 --> 00:38:54,038
And he says, "I'll tell
them anything they want."
814
00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:57,167
So they put up a whole bunch
of pictures on the wall,
815
00:38:57,333 --> 00:38:59,003
of all of the objects
that were taken.
816
00:38:59,125 --> 00:39:00,875
And they say,
"Have you ever seen this one?"
817
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,000
He says, "No."
"Have you ever seen this one?"
818
00:39:02,125 --> 00:39:04,875
He says, "No."
"Have you ever seen this one?"
819
00:39:05,042 --> 00:39:07,672
Fails it.
Every question they ask him.
820
00:39:07,792 --> 00:39:10,422
Like most aspects
of this case,
821
00:39:10,542 --> 00:39:12,332
the interrogation
of Bobby Gentile
822
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:15,670
creates more questions
than answers.
823
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:19,167
Gentile is sent to prison
for the rest of his life,
824
00:39:19,167 --> 00:39:21,577
which may not be very long.
825
00:39:21,708 --> 00:39:24,788
I was called by the
U.S. Marshals office
826
00:39:24,792 --> 00:39:27,382
and they said,
"Your client is dying."
827
00:39:27,542 --> 00:39:30,212
I drive to the hospital.
828
00:39:30,333 --> 00:39:35,133
He was very upset and he kept
saying over and over again,
829
00:39:35,125 --> 00:39:37,325
I can't die here,
I can't die here.
830
00:39:37,458 --> 00:39:39,668
So I said to him,
831
00:39:39,667 --> 00:39:42,667
"Bob, there has to be
something that you know.
832
00:39:42,667 --> 00:39:46,377
"There has to be,
because there's all this smoke
833
00:39:46,542 --> 00:39:49,752
"around this case,
and it's all over you.
834
00:39:49,875 --> 00:39:52,375
You have to know
where this fire started."
835
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:54,670
And I said, "And if you
just give that to me,
836
00:39:54,792 --> 00:39:58,672
you can die at home
in your bed with your wife."
837
00:39:58,792 --> 00:40:01,462
And he looked at me desperately,
838
00:40:01,458 --> 00:40:04,168
and tears were coming down
both of his eyes.
839
00:40:04,167 --> 00:40:06,167
And he just said,
840
00:40:06,292 --> 00:40:08,002
"There ain't no paintings, kid.
841
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,830
There ain't no paintings."
842
00:40:10,833 --> 00:40:13,173
Bobby Gentile
survives that health scare,
843
00:40:13,292 --> 00:40:16,252
but dies in September, 2021,
844
00:40:16,375 --> 00:40:20,075
and the location of
a $1/2 billion in stolen art
845
00:40:20,208 --> 00:40:21,708
may have died with him.
846
00:40:21,875 --> 00:40:25,495
Authorities believe
that Gentile, at one point,
847
00:40:25,625 --> 00:40:27,535
knew where that artwork was.
848
00:40:27,667 --> 00:40:30,537
You know,
maybe they were in the ditch.
849
00:40:30,667 --> 00:40:33,787
They were ruined in a flood
that took place
850
00:40:33,792 --> 00:40:36,382
in the back yard
of the Gentiles' house.
851
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:39,790
Though the FBI is still
trying to recover the artwork,
852
00:40:39,792 --> 00:40:41,422
they now believe they know
853
00:40:41,542 --> 00:40:43,882
who committed
the original robbery:
854
00:40:44,042 --> 00:40:47,422
suspects George Reissfelder
and Lenny DiMuzio.
855
00:40:47,542 --> 00:40:50,422
The fate of the art
is not as clear.
856
00:40:50,542 --> 00:40:51,962
The FBI
holds a press conference
857
00:40:51,958 --> 00:40:53,578
that says, basically,
858
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:55,578
"We know who did it and
we know where the artwork went.
859
00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:56,668
We just don't know
where it is right now."
860
00:40:56,792 --> 00:40:59,332
They believe that
the thieves were dead.
861
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:03,828
They had very good information
that the artwork changed hands,
862
00:41:03,958 --> 00:41:06,078
that it went through
organized crime circles
863
00:41:06,208 --> 00:41:10,878
from Boston to Connecticut
to Philadelphia.
864
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,670
One theory is somebody had
them all together in one place
865
00:41:13,833 --> 00:41:15,583
and died or was murdered
866
00:41:15,708 --> 00:41:17,828
and they're buried
and we can never find them.
867
00:41:17,833 --> 00:41:21,543
But it's hard to imagine
that they're all in one place.
868
00:41:21,667 --> 00:41:23,957
It's been over 30 years.
869
00:41:24,083 --> 00:41:26,003
I have a hard time believing,
if they were broken up
870
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,920
amongst multiple groups
of people,
871
00:41:28,042 --> 00:41:31,002
that nothing would have come
forward after this much time,
872
00:41:31,125 --> 00:41:32,325
particularly
with a huge reward.
873
00:41:32,458 --> 00:41:36,538
Today, the whereabouts
of the 13 pieces of artwork
874
00:41:36,708 --> 00:41:38,918
remains a mystery,
875
00:41:39,042 --> 00:41:41,672
and finding them is still
as urgent as it was
876
00:41:41,667 --> 00:41:45,917
on March 18, 1990,
the day of the heist.
877
00:41:46,042 --> 00:41:48,882
I do think the key
for this investigation
878
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
is for more people
to know about it.
879
00:41:51,167 --> 00:41:52,997
If they're still around,
880
00:41:53,125 --> 00:41:55,075
somebody will come across
one of them,
881
00:41:55,208 --> 00:41:57,918
and they need to understand
the significance of it.
882
00:41:58,042 --> 00:42:01,582
These don't belong
in some crawlspace
883
00:42:01,708 --> 00:42:03,248
in an attic somewhere.
884
00:42:03,375 --> 00:42:04,875
These belong back on the walls.
885
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,040
We'll work to get them back.
And who wins?
886
00:42:08,167 --> 00:42:09,287
Our grandchildren win.
887
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:13,790
Until the artwork
is returned,
888
00:42:13,917 --> 00:42:16,787
the frames hang empty
in the museum.
889
00:42:16,792 --> 00:42:19,332
The reward for any information
leading to the recovery
890
00:42:19,458 --> 00:42:22,878
now stands at 10 million bucks.
891
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,040
The Gardner robbery remains
892
00:42:24,167 --> 00:42:26,877
the largest art theft
in world history,
893
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,880
and one
of history's greatest heists.
