Episode Details

A Chicago city painting by Bill Cass—once displayed in the office of a top aide to Mayor Lori Lightfoot—has vanished without a trace. The abstract, $500–$1,000 piece, acquired in the 80s, disappeared after the aide left in 2023. Despite the city’s frantic search and even emails to the former aide denying possession, no one can account for it. The mystery came to light during a separate investigation into a contractor linked to the aide. With no official art inventory and only seven hundred pieces across 150 buildings, this is the first known case of missing city art—leaving officials baffled and the public wondering where the painting went.
