Stolen Stradivarius · Texas Tragedy
Plus "Black Market," boxing intrigue, and Before Time cases
the true crime that's worth your time
An ABC doc on a stolen Stradivarius debuts Thursday. It’s not entirely clear to me where people outside Chicago-land can watch Stolen: The Unsolved Theft of a $3,000,000 Violin, but here’s where you can get that affiliate’s app, and here’s the logline from the doc’s YouTube-trailer page: “A Davidoff Stradivarius violin, considered the world's greatest violin, was stolen 25 years ago from renowned violinist Erica Morini, and is still missing today. The theft is on the FBI's list of top ten unsolved art crimes.” Not mentioned: that Morini died days later.
I’d really like to watch this one, so if it pops up in anyone’s Hulu carousel later this week, let me know! Meantime, the trailer’s below. — SDB
