I, Suzanne Kenney, believe I solved the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner art heist and the 1991 James Bourlet Storage Warehouse art fire based on the information I have shared in my previous newsletter issues.
I believe the media has a duty to report from all perspectives, especially based on one's right to the First Amendment. By ignoring, not reporting, or even following up on the information being shared, it would be a violation of that right. Here, it has been more than 15 years since I started sharing this information, and it still hasn't been reported by any media, which is a continued violation of that right. News agencies are responsible for reporting news that is fair and balanced. In addition to the First Amendment, there is also the FCC Fairness Doctrine. What is the Fairness Doctrine? It mandates that broadcasters cover issues of public importance in ways that present opposing perspectives, operating under a view of free speech that privileges an audience's rights to diverse voices and views over broadcasters' narrower First Amendment protections. I believe my First Amendment is being violated by the media. If what I am sharing is a fake story, why have I been allowed to continue to make these statements for more than 15 years on the internet and by mail? Who could have possibly forged all this artwork in such varying styles and time periods? We have a late 1800s painting by Vincent van Gogh and a painting by Eduard Manet, 1920s/1930s Pablo Picassos, 1930s Alexander Calder drawings, 1930-1950s Jane Peterson and Kees van Dongen drawings and paintings. Why does no one want to determine who forged all this artwork? There are stories out there about art forgers, and they are prosecuted for their actions. So if the story I am sharing doesn't depict legit artwork, who created it? Why isn't anyone interested in telling that story and having those responsible prosecuted? Why is this story ignored?
The Vincent van Gogh painting is of the Sultan of Morocco, and that painting alone, if proven authentic, deserves to be shared with the world. Maybe I should seek some legal advice on how I can pursue my First Amendment right to have the information I am sharing reported on. After 15 years, it is clear I am not giving up on having this reported on. I will continue to stand up for my First Amendment right to do so.
This story is real, and it's for any of you that want to make a change in the world. A change of not letting corruption win. A moment the little person who was done wrong by the billionaire actually gets to be heard.
I struggle to explain what it's like knowing you've likely solved the largest art heist in history, only to be unheard because billionaires might be involved. Instead of being celebrated for uncovering this amazing information, I am laughed at, disregarded, and labeled. How dare I make accusations against such a wealthy family?
There is a chance that the information I am providing might actually be helpful in solving these art crimes. Because these crimes did happen, and someone committed them – very likely, a billionaire. I am providing real, factual information, provable with documents, connecting to an art-loving billionaire – not just a "theory" based on internet research like others who have written books on the Isabella heist without any firsthand connection to the events.
I will close with some background on Frederick R. Koch taken from online news articles (see links below) which seems relevant:
“At one point when their father was alive, his family list with everyone’s name–including the sons–and Frederick was removed from that very list. Something happened that for a time in his life, Frederick was not recognized as part of the family.”
“During the Koch brothers’ childhood, discussion of Frederick caused noticeable discomfort among his brothers. “They just didn’t want Freddie’s name brought up,” said one family friend. “They knew there was something different about him. You didn’t hear much about Freddie at all . . . It was almost like he wasn’t part of the family.””
“In the 1960s, mention of Frederick even vanished from one of his father’s bios: “He and Mrs. Koch have three sons,” it read, “Charles, William, and David.””
“When their father, Fred Koch died in 1967, he left his eldest son out of his will (though he had previously provided for him, with the creation of two trusts).”
“According to court testimony from Charles, their father removed Frederick from his will because he had repeatedly stolen from him in the years before his death and then lied about it when confronted with the evidence.” “Frederick lifted traveler’s checks, cash, and an air travel card from their dad”, Charles said; he also alleged in court records that his older brother forged his signature on their father’s Brooks Brothers charge account. Charles’s contempt for his bon vivant brother was apparent in court. “Over the years,” he testified, “I had accepted my father’s analysis of Freddie of not really being a whole person, of being a person who was amoral and not capable of true feelings towards other people.”
These articles back up the character of the person I am claiming did these crimes. You have this billionaire, struggling to right something that is beyond one’s imagination; things just aren’t going his way, his money can’t fix this the way he is used to. A man who has never had to work a day in his life (see article links below). His only reason for visiting with my mother and doing what he did was to make himself feel better. Feel better for some art crimes he committed; crimes that most don’t really care about. But to this man it was different.
He left my mother to struggle with selling artwork beyond her comprehension and then hid from the truth when reality came calling. It takes a very selfish person to leave my mother and our family to go alone with what we've been through while trying to stand up for this story. Leave us with the responsibility of this valuable artwork. Artwork that if authenticated would need armed guards when being transported. No one should have to go through that. This man’s actions and the consequences thereof and how that wove itself into an unsuspecting family’s lives is the core of this amazing story that I want to share with you.

Article Fred Koch is one of the richest people in the world. He does not own a company. He has not created a product. You've probably never heard of him. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a26734/luckiest-man-in-america/
I am launching a website called UHV.news for UnHeard Voices. I am not a person who gives up. I hope to help others on that same path of having their voice heard.
