The Art Story Goes To Miami

Suzanne's Miami Research

Why Miami?

Based on Mary's description of her encounters with Mr. Koch and the notes written during those encounters, Miami seemed like the place to look. You can view all the notes here.

‌

According to what Mr. Koch told Mary, there was a museum in the Miami area that Mr. Koch and his mother were involved in.
- Sunbiz for the original museum from the map above.
In the notes (see below) there is mention of a Washington Storage in Miami, Ned Mathews or his brother. Upon research there is a Washington Storage that was an art storage warehouse and was owned by Ned Mathews and his brother. Washington Storage was purchased by Mitchel (Micky) Wolfson and is now known as the Wolfsonian, a museum, library and research center.
- Sunbiz Washington Storage

In this note, Mr. Koch explains the Jane Peterson painting came from Ned Mathews of Washington Gallery/Storage. He states there is a newspaper article with Jane Peterson holding the painting. Miami Herald states their archives got destroyed so we have been unable to locate the article. But research shows the Washington Storage is also known as Washington Art Gallery.

A Mr. Koch connects to the art world in Miami (see documents below). These connections, when placed on a map (shown above), are located in the block owned by what is now the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami.
Some of the artwork had damage, and Mr. Koch told Mary the damage was from the artwork being saved from a fire at an art storage warehouse.
- It was thought that the fire occurred in Miami or at the Washington Storage.
- Turns out the fire occurred in London at an art storage warehouse on October 7, 1991.
- Most of the items destroyed belonged to a Mr. Koch.
- Just a few weeks later, a Mr. Koch arrives in Mary's life, wanting to teach her about the art world.

An Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Art Heist Connection From Miami

‌

A statement from this Boston.com newspaper article
“But in late April 1994, the museum received an overture that Gardner officials regard as the most promising lead ever in the case. An anonymous letter writer said he could facilitate the return of the paintings in exchange for $2.6 million and full immunity from prosecution for the thieves and those who held the paintings. Because the overture involved a request for immunity from prosecution, the museum turned the letter, postmarked in New York, over to the FBI.

The letter writer showed considerable knowledge of the paintings and of the international art world. He said the stolen paintings were being stored in archival conditions, and had not yet been sold. But, he warned, the museum should agree swiftly to the exchange because the paintings were being held in a country where a buyer who did not know they had been stolen could claim legal ownership.”

Mary's Art Encounters Solved The Art Crimes Below

‌

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum ART Heist

March 18, 1990

In 2012, this 1990 crime was solved by Suzanne while researching her mother, Mary's, 1991/1992 art encounters. Suzanne reported her findings to the FBI in June 2012 and nine months later on March 18, 2013, the FBI announced they now know the names of the two men that did the heist, but refused to release the name of the billionaire - Frederick R. Koch and his companion, John Olsen.

James Bourlet and Sons Storage ART Fire

October 7, 1991

Most of the belongings in this fire were owned by Frederick R. Koch. The fire occurred 14 days after Robert Donati was discovered murdered. Mr. Donati was murdered because of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist. A few weeks after this fire, a Mr. Koch arrived in Mary's life and began teaching her about the art world. Which is shown in the notes written on Koch's visits with Mary.

Stolen Charles Darwin Notebooks

Suzanne believes it’s possible that the Tree of Life notepads were stolen by or for Frederick's brother, David Koch's Hall of Human Origins Exhibit completed in 2010 at the Smithsonian. The Exhibit even has a Charles Darwin statue.

David Koch quote "It seems to me what's amazing is how much Darwin got right 150 years ago. It's staggering what he got right. He got enormously more right on evolution than what he got wrong." (read it here)

The response from Cambridge University to Suzanne's email helps support her theory above. Watch the video to read the email and how the path of one billion dollars in art crimes collided with Charles Darwin's stolen notepads.
