Gone but not forgotten: Mobster Robert 'The Cook' Gentile surfaces in new lead connected to $500M Gardner Museum art heist
Gentile died in in September, insisting to the very end that he had nothing to do with the Gardner heist — in spite of evidence to the contrary. Now, detectives outside of Boston are finding new clues in a long unsolved underworld murder that puts Gentile in the company of a group of mobsters long suspected of involvement in the crime — just months after it happened and decades earlier than originally thought.
