Works by Picasso, Matisse Monet, Gauguin, Freud and de Haan, stolen last year, are believed to have been located...tragically, it seems the thieves decided to burn the masterpieces in an oven once the police were on their trail. One of the mothers of the thieves told police she burned the pieces while authorities began searching the village, though some doubt she is telling the truth. Ashes from the oven are being analyzed by the museum with results expected to take months.
