The biggest art heist in American history saw $500 million worth of paintings stolen from a Boston gallery, including a rare Vermeer and works by Rembrandt and Degas. FBI teams have worked on the case, but will the masterpieces ever be found?

The Search for the Scream

Nearly thirty years ago, seven paintings, including a priceless Cezanne, were stolen from a private collection in America. Michael Bakwin feared he'd never see his Cezanne again as the search spanned America, Monaco, Russia, and London.

Chasing Cezanne
