Several works of art worth half a billion dollars were stolen, making it the biggest property crime in U.S. history, and it’s still unsolved, with the art still missing. There’s a $10 million reward on the table for any information leading directly to its safe return. Plus, Laci, Jake and Jess dig into Sarah Cavanaugh, who was convicted of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, forgery, and fraudulent use of military medals, after pretending to be a wounded veteran to steal more than a quarter‑million dollars meant for real veterans.
