This story is so long. Each time I send it - I remember another sequence or find more information. Below is the revised highlighted timeline.
I missed adding about - In 2011, I submitted physical evidence (the Calders) to Julian Radcliffe of the Art Loss Register. Despite his suggestion that 'destroyed art is often forged,' I requested he return the artwork. If these were documented forgeries or confirmed stolen goods, they would have been seized by the authorities Radcliffe represents. Their return constitutes a failure to investigate a high-signal lead, further evidence of the coordinated silence surrounding the 1991 Bourlet Fire and the Gardner Heist.
The 1990s
- Dec 21, 1990: Mary Robinson Koch (Frederick’s mother) passes away.
- Sept 24, 1991: Gardner suspect Robert Donati is murdered.
- Oct 7, 1991 (13 Days Later): A massive "suspicious" fire at the James Bourlet & Sons warehouse in London. They "burn" some type of evidence.
- Nov 1991: "Ed Koch" (Frederick R. Koch) appears at an Okeechobee flea market. He sells the "damaged" checklist to my mother, Mary, for mere dollars. Read the notes written between them.
- March 1992: My mother visits Sotheby's they are willing to sell only the Jane Peterson on Kodak paper but none of the rest. The value they give it isn't what Mr. Koch says it is worth. So she decides to wait until he visits her at the flea market again so she can get answers.
- March 1992: Ed Koch's departure via theatrical hospital scene and obituary. They use the newspaper to communicate.
- April 20, 1992: Sotheby’s signs a contract with my mother for the Jane Peterson painting, proving the timeline of events. Sale was September 25, 1992. Didn't sell at auction, but had an aftersale private offer. My mother declined the offer.
- 1994: Letter written to Museum trying to return the artwork. This person has knowledge of the international art trading world. The letter is postmarked from New York (Frederick R. Koch has a home in New York). They use the newspaper to communicate.
The 2000s
- Nov 2000: Charles Darwin's notebooks, including the famous "Tree of Life" sketch, were first discovered missing in January 2001 from Cambridge University Library, though they were last seen in November 2000 after being removed for photography, with the library concluding they were stolen around that time.
- Feb 2002: I contact the Calder Foundation to submit the drawings, stating "Ed Koch, deceased" as the provenance from a flea market in Okeechobee in 1990 - though we later determined I was off by a year it was 1991 and 1992. I am sure Mr. Rower contacted the Koch brothers and they knew exactly what to say. They are the billionaires and get accusations against them all the time.
- Feb 2002: Sold two paintings on eBay. If you view the original 2002 eBay listing for the Picasso drawing
- Nov 2005: Anthony Amore is hired as the Director of Security and Chief Investigator, a position created specifically to recover the stolen art.
2010-2015
- July 2010: My mother gifts me the Calder drawings and asked me to help her try to figure out her story again. Asked me to put her story and the artwork on the internet. I created Looking-For-Ed-Koch.com.

- 2011 to 2012: There are more than 60+ visits from Monaco. when ‘someone’ searched GOOGLE for things like “Frederick Koch art fraud” and “Frederick Koch John Olsen art fraud”.
- 2011: I resubmit the drawings to the Calder Foundation. I have now found the note that states "Hokin Gallery" and "Mrs. Clifford the housekeeper." I have also discovered that "Ed Koch" is actually Frederick R. Koch.
- Jan 24, 2011: After an email with John Olsen, I googled Frederick R. Koch and Sotheby's I found the fire. I emailed Lloyds of London and within 24 hours Julian Radcliffe from the Art Loss register called me. Wanting to come to America to meet us.
- Feb 14, 2011: Julian Radcliffe's response - I believe I mailed him the Calder drawings after this response. After he received the artwork there was a response of he didn't believe the artwork was real. So I asked him to return the artwork. Which he did in October. I also emailed Robert Wittman to inform him of the recent developments.
- July 5, 2011: Anthony Amore releases Stealing Rembrandt: Focuses on the history of Rembrandt heists.
- Oct 10, 2011: Julian Radcliffe returns the Calder drawings to me.

- March 3, 2012: 20 days after reporting the art to Robert Wittman and that it was saved from a fire at an art storage warehouse in London.

- April 2012: I had the paper tested, which confirmed it is from the correct time period. Erich Speckin
- June 2012: I solve the ISGM heist by connecting the "checklist" of art sold to my mother. After seeing the heist in the news.
- Here is where I wait to allow the "SILENCE" to do their job. Fast forward 2026 no one has done their job... For a whistleblower SILENCE doesn't mean they are helping it means they aren't.
- March 18, 2013: Nine months after I handed the FBI the solution, they suddenly announced they had "solved" the case but wouldn't name the suspects. Two years later (2015), they claimed the thieves were dead. It was a convenient way to close the case—except the men I identified (Koch and Olsen) were still alive and well.

For 20 years, they claimed the books were simply "misplaced"—waiting for a deathbed return that the Koch deaths finally triggered. I sent a tip and got confirmation see my youtube about it.
The Return: The "Happy Easter" note in a pink bag is the same "Theatricality" as the "Portrait of a Rabbi" returned in a box by a man in a wig. It proves they treat these returns as a game. - Nov 10, 2020: Anthony Amore releases The Woman Who Stole Vermeer: Focuses on Rose Dugdale and the 1974 Russborough House heist.

I wrote my book as a submission of evidence to bypass the silence A trust as powerful as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum doesn't just dissolve—it must be forfeited. History proves that Harvard University would only move to seize the ISGM under the weight of a fundamental scandal that proves a total breach of fiduciary duty. Well, here it is. Thank you,
