Family and friends said they didn't think the Alters had a lot of money but the couple was able to travel to 140 countries on all seven continents before their death. It was revealed that they had more than a million dollars in savings at the time of their deaths, something family did not know. Many people believe Rita and Jerry, pictured, are the thieves after the painting was discovered in their bedroom after they died. 1 Like

Photo of the empty frame at the University Of Arizona Museum Of Art where the painting once was on display. Authorities said the woman distracted the museum's security guard as the man went upstairs and cut the painting from its frame. When he tried to chase after the man and the woman, they were speeding away in a red sports car. The museum did not have security cameras at the time and police found no fingerprints. 2 Likes

The Thomas Crown Affair! They would spend a lifetime gloating about stealing it...admiring it. But it would extremely hard to find a fence for it that wouldn't snitch on you. It's too "hot" as they say 8 Likes 1 Share |

One would think : 1. They would take the painting with them to the grave. 2. The painting is an incredibly beautiful painting anyone can not live without. 3. The painting would have given them eternal life. However, one is absolutely sure that: 1. These two cooperated with each other on all levels. They were the perfect couple...they even died at the same age. They didn't rat on each other, they didn't blow their own trumpet unnecessarily... They were perfect for each other 2. They lived a good life however cunningly they got the life...I hope they didn't kill anyone in the process 3. They were poised and intelligent...I love them jare. Their sins are therefore forgiven...rest in peace folks 17 Likes 1 Share |
