A year after Louvre heist, stolen crown jewels remain missing

Eight royal jewels worth about $100 million remain missing a year after a daring heist at Paris’ Louvre Museum.
Thieves dressed as workmen cut into the Louvre on October 19 last year and took eight royal jewels.
The haul included a crown and brooch belonging to Napoleon III’s wife, Empress Eugénie.
Four men were arrested within 10 days, but searches found nothing; experts fear the diamonds may have been recut and sold.
