    #180: Franklin Delano Floyd & Suzanne Sevakis | The Antwerp Diamond Heist | Hit and Run Cocktail

    In Episode 180 of Brutal, Bizarre & Boozy, Jane examines the life and crimes of Franklin Delano Floyd, focusing on the abduction and exploitation of Suzanne Sevakis. Kidnapped at age five, raised under false identities, and later forced into marriage, Suzanne’s life was shaped by deception and abuse. Floyd later confessed to killing her young son, while Suzanne’s death remains unresolved. Deklan then breaks down the 2003 Antwerp Diamond Heist, the largest diamond robbery in recorded history. A team of Italian thieves bypassed multiple layers of security inside the Antwerp World Diamond Centre and escaped with an estimated $100 million in diamonds, gold, and jewelry. Most of the stolen goods have never been recovered. We also enjoy the Hit and Run cocktail.
