EVENT 3 October 7, 1991 (11 days after Donati was discovered murdered): James Bourlet & Son art storage warehouse fire (in London, UK), destroyed several hundred million dollars in art and collectibles. Most of the items destroyed belonged to a billionaire. Read the Independent.co.uk news article here. EVENT 4 November 1991: Mary's Art story begins with a stranger arriving in her life at her flea market booth, sharing stories of a wealthy man's life and selling her artwork by Master Artists for several dollars a piece. Visits over several months. View the handwritten notes from those visits here. He discusses a love of art, including a love of art with his mother, a grand life, dislike for a twin brother, and many lawsuits among the brothers.
We are trying to prove the events above are connected by the same billionaire. Over the years, when Mary would share her story, people would ask why this man would visit Mary and do what she claims he did. Mary doesn't have an answer for that other than what she has shared about his visits. In her daughter Suzanne's many years of researching her mother's story, she had the same question about why this man did this. Why did he sell her artwork of such varying values? So many questions.
Below are a couple interesting articles that helped in the research of connecting what this man shared with Mary on his visits with her. https://www.vanityfair.com/style/society/2014/05/frederick-koch-brothers - this article talks a lot about Fred's character. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a26734/luckiest-man-in-america/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/05/koch-brothers-family-history-sons-of-wichita/ https://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/28/business/brother-versus-brother-koch-family-s-long-legal-feud-is-headed-for-a-jury.html https://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1997/02/17/222188/index.htm But Marshall turned on his namesake in 1980 after J. Howard III backed William and Frederick Koch in a fight against their brothers Charles and David for control of Koch Industries. Marshall demanded the stock back from his son and ultimately paid $8 million for it – an “exorbitant” price, he fumed, even though the stock could be worth more than $2 billion today. Then he cut J. Howard III out of his will, saying the $8 million was all he’d get. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielfisher/2013/03/04/the-billionaire-the-playboy-bunny-and-the-tangled-affairs-of-the-marshall-family/?sh=714ca1d51f70
---------------------
There is actually a chance that the information Suzanne is providing might actually be helpful in solving these art crimes. Because at the end of the day these art crimes did happen and there is an answer to who did the crimes. Including the high likelihood they were done by a billionaire. Suzanne is providing real, factual information that can all be proven and backed up with legal documents connecting to an ART LOVING billionaire. Suzanne is not providing you with a "theory" based on internet research. Like other "internet researchers" who have written books on the Isabella art heist and are published in news articles as a source of information. When not one of the published books on this art heist comes from first-hand ART encounters. The Artwork Story is from first-hand ART encounters.
We wonder why the FBI, Lloyds of London, The Art Loss Register, Interpol, and museums aren't investigating the veracity of this art story.
Every possibility of advancing this story has been investigated. It is those receiving the story that aren't doing what is expected of them.
Or is it that Mary and Suzanne have no value? Don't have a right to be heard? Don't have a right to be believed? What is it that separates others from having what they report HEARD when reporting a crime? Why aren't Mary and Suzanne afforded that same dignity? #Truth #NeverGiveUp
