Episode Description from the Publisher

In December 1978, a crew tied to organized crime stole roughly 5 million dollars in cash and nearly 1 million dollars in jewels from the Lufthansa cargo vault at JFK Airport in Queens, New York, in what became the largest cash robbery at a United States airport at that time. Only one person, a cargo supervisor named Louis Werner, was ever convicted in connection with the robbery, and the stolen proceeds have never been recovered. The identities of the gunmen who entered the vault and the whereabouts of the stolen cash and jewels remain unknown.Anyone with information about the unrecovered proceeds from the December 11, 1978 Lufthansa robbery at JFK Airport should contact the FBI New York Field Office at 1-800-225-5324.Tired of ads?
