Chapter 36

Summary

• Eric Braun, the lawyer who helped Anne-Catherine avoid prison, spent weeks with her preparing for her trial and conversing about her relationship with Breitwieser.
• Breitwieser was reported to be temperamental and hard to live with, and now Anne-Catherine wants to live a quiet life and forget about him.
• She has managed to live a quiet life in a village outside Mulhouse in an apartment that cost her about $100,000. She has been raising her son discreetly who was born in 2003 and has continued working at a hospital in Mulhouse.
• Her new apartment, and her parents' have been searched by police for stolen art, however, nothing was found. She also hasn't been arrested again.
• She has never shared her story publicly on television and seems to have no interest in gaining fame or notoriety. It's unknown if she still has contact with Breitwieser or his mother, and she has not married or had any more children.
• Their relationship started in 1991 at a birthday party and ended nearly fifteen years later in 2005 with a parole-breaking letter from Breitwieser. They spent their youth together traveling Europe and collecting stolen art.
• Anne-Catherine wants to move on and forget about her life with Breitwieser, but given her experiences and the magnitude of the art thefts they committed together, forgetting may not be entirely possible.
