Geoffrey J. Kelly, the lead agent assigned to the case has been left bewildered by the details he had accumulated throughout the years. He could not understand why these items were stolen when there were hundreds of more expensive collections found in the museum. As a matter of fact, there were Borticelli and Raphael paintings that the thieves must have spotted. Nonetheless, these were untouched.

Kelly also noticed how brutish the criminals were. They were clearly not art connoisseurs as they cut out paintings from frames and smashed some into two. Moreover, he had to retrace his steps and look into other possibilities. While the two original suspects had passed away, he decided to look at Whitey Bulger, Boston’s top crime boss and an FBI informant. He also considered the fact that the heist could have been organized by the Irish Republican Army.
