Jennifer Bowers Bahney
"While on honeymoon in Vienna in June, 1998, Gerald Daniel Blanchard, an accomplished thief, happened upon the greatest challenge of his life when he spotted the last remaining "Sisi Star." Named after its former owner, Empress Elisabeth, the ten-pointed diamond and pearl star was originally one of 27 that Sisi wore in her extravagantly long hair"
Marc Notes: While on honeymoon in Vienna in June 1998 - at the height of the tourist season - Gerald Daniel Blanchard, an accomplished thief, happened upon the greatest challenge of his life when he spotted the last remaining 'Sisi Star' on display in Schonbrunn Palace. Blanchard decided then and there to steal it. The star remained missing for nine years until two Canadian police investigators launched a joint task force to bring down a criminal organization that had robbed banks, stores and ordinary citizens on several continents.
