Today, the ABC News Podcast Network and “20/20” announced the thrilling new podcast series “Heist at the Louvre,” hosted by ABC News’ chief international correspondent and “What You Need to Know” host James Longman and premiering Monday, Sept. 28. The series unpacks how thieves were able to pull off one of the most daring jewel heists in history, with Longman following the investigation and its aftermath to try to answer the central question: Where are the crown jewels now? The trailer is available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

“Heist at the Louvre” takes listeners inside the jewel theft that stunned the world at the iconic Louvre Museum.
