Suzanne Kenney invites you to the premiere of Crime and Canvas, a new podcast unraveling a personal quest for truth that unexpectedly intertwines with one of history’s most notorious art heists: the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Art Heist. Suzanne believes she’s solved it.
Episode One: Unveiling Mary’s Story and Koch’s Deception
In the inaugural episode, we journey back to November 1991, to a flea market in Okeechobee, Florida. Suzanne’s mother, Mary, encounters a man introducing himself as “Ed Koch.” This seemingly minor detail was the first thread in a decade-long deception. It wasn’t until 2010 that his true identity was uncovered: Frederick Robinson Koch, a billionaire.
The Unlikely Introduction: Art for $3 “Ed Koch” began selling Mary valuable artwork for just a few dollars each. Over three months, Mary, unknowingly, amassed an incredible collection including pieces by Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Édouard Manet, Alexander Calder, Jane Peterson, and more. These transactions were accompanied by elaborate stories of his life, despite his disheveled appearance.
A Fortune in Plain Sight: The Art Collection Handwritten notes, which will be explored in Episode Three, document these sales and reveal connections to prestigious galleries and collections. These notes, with their precise details, would later become critical evidence.
The Mysterious Disappearance and a Shocking Revelation Suddenly, “Ed Koch” vanished, with Mary being told he was hospitalized. She visited him in the hospital. Years later, in 2010, the truth emerged: Frederick R. Koch was alive. This revelation fueled Suzanne’s intense dedication to uncover the full story and honor her mother.
A Fear, A Fight, A Voice Suzanne shares her fear that powerful forces might attempt to silence this truth. However, she stands firm, believing that no one should dictate whose truth matters. This podcast aims to expose systemic corruption and demand accountability.
What’s Next? Episode Two: The Artworks—Van Gogh, Picasso, Manet, Calder, and Jane Peterson, will delve deeper into the art itself, beginning to connect the dots to the largest art heist in history.
