*FOUND* - $1 Million reward offered for stolen ruby slippers worn by Garland, 2005

New Posts

"The slippers, worn by Garland in Oz, were stolen from the museum nearly a decade ago. Three other pairs still exist, including the one on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Another pair was acquired in 2012 by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences for its planned museum.

The reward offer requires the exact location of the slippers and the perpetrator’s name, the AP reports. The shoes were insured for $1 million, but Kelsch said they could now be worth $2 or $3 million"

I saw one pair of the ruby slippers in person in the 1980s in Tulsa. My friend cleaned for a gentleman and had clearance to go into his secured, environment controlled huge room of Wizard of Oz memorabilia. Amazing! Fantastic! Unforgettable!

Terry Martin was indicted Tuesday with one count of theft of a major artwork, prosecutors announced Wednesday. The indictment did not provide any further information about Martin and online records do not list an attorney for him.''

''On Wednesday, a summons was issued for Martin. An initial court appearance was set for June 1, and it will be via video. Terry Van Horn, spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department in North Dakota, said he could not provide any information beyond what was included in the indictment.''
