Whereabouts Unknown Historical ⋄ Crime Whereabouts Unknown is a crime drama in eight parts. It centers on how the Nazis plundered Europe during WWII, and how the resulting turmoil birthed a black market for stolen art which remains a cornerstone of global criminal enterprise. It is the epic saga of a crime of such unprecedented scale and generational impact that the telling of it spans three timelines, or periods. It’s the story of the clerks and curators who eagerly carried out the crime. It’s the story of the thief who, some years later, became ensnared in the continued fallout from the crime. It’s the story, decades further, of the lawyer tasked with picking up the pieces of a trauma that has reverberated through decades.
