“So I can’t say that he was involved in the crime,” concedes Amore. I’m not picking on him in particular.” Amore says it’s the person who let the bad guys in that you have to really hone in on. “I’d be disingenuous with you if I didn’t say, ‘you have to look at that person,’ in any crime. Richard Abath, one of the guards on duty, has long denied any wrongdoing. That’s when two men posing as Boston police officers gained entrance to the museum and stole 13 works now valued at at least 500-million dollars. Once again attention turns to the guard who allowed access both the night before and night of the theft. “Of course it leads us to believe who was this person,”Amore says. “You cannot just look at this video and say, “oh it could be anybody.” He also says that it raises a lot of questions about what the guard might have been doing that night or his thought process.
“It was almost exactly 24 hours before the heist.” says Amore. Amore says the decision to release it came after their exhaustive efforts to ID the individual yielded no results. Last week the Justice Department, along with the FBI released video of a man entering the museum, against security protocol, the night before the theft. I’d say it’s probably a 12-hour a day operation.” “So it takes up a lot of man-hours in the course of a day. “You’re trying to deal with leads as they come in and also you’re dealing with media,” he says. Since publicity ramped up earlier this year with the 25th anniversary of the infamous Gardner Heist, security director Anthony Amore says he’s been on the case virtually 24/7.
