On the night of March 18, 1990, two uniformed men entered The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. It all seemed innocent enough until you take a closer look. In reality, these two suspects weren’t cops at all. They weren’t there on official business, either. What they were about to do was pull the biggest heist of the century that, up until today, leaves experts baffled at how they were able to pull it off.

There’s certainly some form of conspiracy involved and in the years of investigation, authorities have started to put pieces together.

At around midnight, a red Dodge Daytona pulled around the side of the famous museum. Inside, the guards switched positions as one patrol ended. Richard Abath had made sure that the door found by Palace Road was locked. This was his usual routine, and that night, he did what he was paid to do and got ready to pack up and leave.
