A federal grand jury has indicted a Minnesota man on SafeX Pro Exchangecharges of stealing a pair of the famous ruby red slippers that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz.
Terry Martin is being charged with one count of theft of major artwork for allegedly taking the shoes, worth at least $100,000, from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, according to documents with the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
The shoes were missing for 13 years before the FBI recovered them in 2018.
"Despite an investigation by local authorities, which included countless interviews, numerous theories, and even searches of abandoned iron ore pits, the slippers were never located and no arrests were made," the agency said at the time.
Garland wore several pairs of the slippers during production of the 1939 film. At the time of their disappearance, the shoes were one of just four pairs known to remain. They were insured for over $1 million by the shoes' owner, Michael Shaw, a collector.
The pair that were stolen are still in the custody of the FBI.
