The ruby slipper theft is solved… with a gangster's confession!
Terry Jon Martin has stolen one of the iconic objects in film historical past: Dorothy's ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz.”
Terry Jon now admits… he's the person behind the 2005 smash and seize… he used a hammer to interrupt the show case that was supposed to guard the slippers.
JJM says he was below the mistaken impression that the sneakers have been adorned with actual jewellery. The explanation he thought that: the sneakers have been famously insured for $1 million.
The sneakers have been recovered in 2018 and Martin was arrested and located responsible of the theft.
The 76-year-old doesn't wish to go to jail… he's affected by a critical sickness, so the choose confirmed him mercy. He stays in a hospice and is predicted to stay solely six months.
BTW…the present market worth of the sneakers — $3.5 MILLION!!!
