Published: Aug. 26, 2024, 7:01 a.m.

We\u2019re now digging into a\xa0real\xa0Texas story. We\u2019re talking about a brazen jewel thief in the 1960s who burgled some of the wealthiest homes in Dallas. But he was an odd thief. Sometimes he took just one\xa0diamond\xa0earring, probably because he knew it would ruin the set. He would put down a towel so he wouldn\u2019t sully an expensive chair by stepping on it. Who was this jewel thief? Author Rena Pederson unfurls the story in her book,\xa0The King of\xa0Diamonds: The Search for the Elusive Texas Jewel Thief.\xa0\nSupport this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link: https://bit.ly/4gF2K18\xa0\nSee more information on my books: katewinklerdawson.com\xa0\xa0\nFollow me on social: @tenfoldmore (Twitter) / @wickedwordspod (Facebook) / @tenfoldmorewicked (Instagram)\xa0\xa0\n2024 All Rights Reserved\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
