"To Do" Calendar of a Theory Feb 26, 2015 Field test it on the road There was a prelude to the widespread coverage of the Gardner Heist 25 th anniversary in late February. Gardner Museum security chief, Anthony Amore along with the FBI’s lead agent in the Gardner Heist investigation, Special Agent Geoff Kelly met with a storied and respected reporter of the Gardner robbery, former Boston Herald reporter and editor Tom Mashberg, now working for the out of town but nationally influential New York Times. “Investigators were anticipating a wave of interest, and possible criticism, on the eve of the robbery’s 25th anniversary,” Mashberg revealed.

A Historical Examination of the Gardner Museum Heist’s Basement Crime Scene  Link to Part I The crime scene photos of the other guard, Randy Hestand taken by the Boston Police have never been released for public view, but his confinement has been more consistently and straightforwardly described all along. He was brought down, seated beside an immovable object (a century old sink), fastened to a lead post holding it up, with a second set of handcuffs, and then advised in reassuring tones that the best course of action for him was to remain calm and wait for help to arrive in the morning. The guard managed to persuade one of the thieves to loosen his handcuffs. The description of Hestand's confinement has frequently come to inaccurately describe the specific predicament of both guards in many published accounts. Since we have never seen the photos of the other guard, there is no basis of comparison.   A guard who worked at the Museum at the time of robber
