Boston Globe May 13, 1990 Dozens of prison inmates have called the FBI with tips about the Gardner Museum art heist, but one-time art thief Myles J. Connor Jr. isn't one of them. "We've made no attempt to talk to Myles Connor," said FBI supervisory special agent Edward M. Quinn, who heads the agency's Reactive Squad in Boston. Adds Connor's defense attorney, Greg Collins: "He has not been requested to meet with the FBI, and I am pretty sure he has not been in contact with them." Connor, a former rock band leader and art thief, is in jail in Chicago, awaiting sentencing on drug and stolen property charges. http://gardnerheist.com/1000tips.html Motive In Gardner theft, recovery of art eludes investigators by Larry Tye Boston Globe May 13, 1990
