They Pulled Off America's Biggest Heist. Then They Died.
•
In December 1978, a crew of thieves stole approximately 5 million dollars in cash and jewels from the Lufthansa cargo building at JFK International Airport in what was then the largest cash robbery in US history. No one was ever convicted of the heist, nearly every named participant died or disappeared in the months that followed, and all of the stolen money and jewels remain officially unrecovered. The identities of every robber present that night have never been established.
Anyone with information about the stolen Lufthansa currency or jewels, or about the disappearance of Louis Cafora and Joanna Cafora, is asked to contact the FBI New York Field Office at 1-800-225-5324.

13 Masterpieces Missing for 34 Years. One Dying Man Knows Who.
56:08|In June 2024, retired insurance investigator Holly Bell traveled to Boston in a final attempt to identify the inside contact who enabled the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, working against the failing health of the last living witness who carried that secret. With thirteen stolen works still missing and no arrest confirmed within the story's timeframe, the case remains one of the longest-running unsolved art thefts in history, defined by empty frames and the question of who arranged the night they were left that way.

She Warned the Louvre for 11 Days. Then the Mona Lisa Vanished.
52:38|In May 1911, the most famous painting in the world vanished overnight from the Louvre in Paris, lifted from the wall of the Salon Carré by a contractor who had spent weeks studying the building's new security gap. A junior conservator named Heather Simmons had tracked the threat for eleven days, only to find her warnings processed, shelved and credited to someone else. The question the case never fully answered is whether the man who took it acted for his country, for profit, or for the hunger to be remembered - and whether all three can be true at once.

Stephen Cameron Died in a Road Rage Fight. His Killer Had Gold.
42:48|On 19 May 1996, Stephen Cameron was stabbed and killed during a road-rage confrontation on the M25 at Swanley in a case that traced directly back to the 1983 Brink's-Mat gold robbery at Heathrow Airport, in which 3 tons of bullion worth approximately 26 million pounds was stolen and laundered across the London property market. Decades later, the identity of the insider who provided the warehouse security codes and the killer of convicted handler Brian Perry remain unresolved, leaving the full human cost of the stolen gold unaccounted for. Anyone with information about property transactions funded by Brink's-Mat proceeds is asked to contact Metropolitan Police Criminal Investigation Department on 101. To pass information anonymously, contact Crimestoppers UK on 0800 555 111. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.

The Train Robbers Stole £2.6M. A Monopoly Board Caught Them.
42:48|In the early hours of August 7, 1963, a gang of fifteen men stopped the Glasgow-to-London mail train at Bridego Railway Bridge in Buckinghamshire and stole £2.6 million in used banknotes, assaulting driver Jack Mills in the process. Most gang members were convicted through fingerprint evidence left at their rural hideout, yet approximately £2.3 million of the stolen cash was never recovered and the identity of the person who first identified the high-value load has never been publicly confirmed. The case remains open more than sixty years later. If you have information about unrecovered proceeds from the Great Train Robbery, contact Buckinghamshire Police at 101. Tired of ads?

Pensioners Drilled Into a London Vault. Millions Vanished.
43:38|Over Easter 2015, a gang of men with an average age above 60 drilled through 50 centimetres of reinforced concrete to loot 73 safe deposit boxes at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit in London, carrying out one of Britain's largest burglaries. Cell-site data and old-fashioned surveillance brought six men to court, but a substantial portion of the stolen property has never been recovered and the full identity of a seventh participant known only as Basil remains unresolved. Anyone with information about the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit burglary or the location of unrecovered property is asked to contact the Metropolitan Police on 101. To report information anonymously, contact Crimestoppers UK on 0800 555 111. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.

Eight People Went to Sleep in One Villisca House. None Woke Up.
43:16|On the night of June 9, 1912, eight people were killed with an axe inside a locked house in Villisca, Montgomery County, Iowa: Josiah and Sarah Moore, their four children, and two young overnight guests. More than a century later the case remains officially unsolved, with no conviction ever standing despite multiple prosecutions, a compromised crime scene, and evidence that may no longer exist in testable form. Anyone with documented knowledge of surviving physical evidence from the Moore house is urged to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office in Iowa. Tired of ads?

Footprints Led to Hinterkaifeck in the Snow. None Ever Led Out.
42:08|In March 1922, six people were killed on the remote Hinterkaifeck farm in Bavaria, Germany, including a farmer, his wife, their widowed daughter, two young children, and a maid who had arrived only hours before her death. The case was never solved, no perpetrator was ever named, and critical evidence including hair samples, skulls, and the farmhouse itself was lost before modern forensic methods could be applied. The question of who may have been living in the attic of Hinterkaifeck before and after the killings remains entirely unanswered. Anyone with family records, oral history, or documentation connected to the Schrobenhausen area and the events of March or April 1922 is encouraged to contact the Bavarian State Criminal Office (Landeskriminalamt Bayern) in Munich at lka.bayern.lka.bayern.de.
