Stations of the Cross Paintings Vanished Overnight

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) records regarding an unsolved $1.5 million art theft in 1969 in Sarasota, FL (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (1:26-cv-01166)).

Ben Stahl, an internationally acclaimed artist and illustrator, was commissioned by the Catholic Press to create 14 paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross. “The Way of the Cross” was a series of 6-foot by 9-foot paintings depicting the Good Friday events from Jesus’ condemnation by Pontius Pilate to Jesus’ body being placed in the tomb. One night in April 1969, the paintings were carefully removed from their frames and stolen from the Museum of the Cross. None were recovered.

The search for the truth was taken up by Stahl’s children, particularly David Stahl, who alleges the investigation was mishandled by local police and the FBI. He cites irregularities including reportedly lost files due to floods and fires. Although the Sarasota Police Department reopened the case in 2013, no new leads emerged.

Prior to the Judicial Watch lawsuit, David Stahl submitted a FOIA request to the Justice Department and received 12 fully redacted pages.

Judicial Watch sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the FBI failed to respond to a February 18, 2026, FOIA request for:

All records in main files or cross-referenced files related to the investigation of artwork stolen in 1969 from the Museum of the Cross in Sarasota, Florida. Such records shall include, but not be limited to, investigative reports, witness summaries (Forms 1023), letterhead memoranda, agents’ handwritten notes, communications in any form, crime scene photographs, fingerprints, evidence logs, and any other records. (This request slightly modified a similar request sent on Dec. 11, 2025 with a corrected year of the date of the art theft.)

“This should be a straightforward search for records,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “After more than five decades, the FBI should be able to find and release these records. The public deserves answers.”

A warehouse employee in California reportedly burned his place of work to the ground, then compared himself to Luigi Mangione, saying, “Should have paid us enough to f— live.”

This is what Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, allegedly said last week as he recorded himself lighting the 1.2 million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark warehouse on fire in Ontario, California, resulting in more than $500 million in products being destroyed.

The warehouse — now burned to the ground — was a major distribution hub on the West Coast, handling products such as Huggies, Kleenex, and toilet paper.

During a press conference in the aftermath of the fire, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said that in a phone call to one witness, Abdulkarim allegedly “compared himself to Luigi Mangione,” the accused murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Essayli also reported that in a message to a coworker an hour after the fire started, the disgruntled Abdulkarim allegedly said, “All you had to do was pay us enough to live. Pay us more of the value we bring, not corporations. Didn’t see the shareholders picking up a shift.”

Abdulkarim works for NFI Industries, an outside logistics firm that provides warehouse services to Kimberly-Clark. NFI pays warehouse workers an average of $18 per hour, according to Indeed salary data.

Instead of looking for a new job, Abdulkarim is now facing up to 20 years in prison. The alleged arsonist on Monday pleaded not guilty in a California courthouse.

Despite Abdulkarim’s actions, officials are taking a strong stance in prosecuting him to the fullest extent.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli gave a stern warning to Abdulkarim’s sympathizers: “I don’t know if this guy saw himself as Luigi, but he’s an arsonist. He’s a criminal. America is founded on capitalism—anyone who attacks our way of life, our system, which provides the best goods and services to the most people, we’re going to come after aggressively.”
