Remember that burglary of the 3-story dressing room in Texas?
Shocking twist in Texas 'she-cave' heist as burglar contacts local paper to complain that $1M in jewels and designer goods stolen from socialite are FAKE
Houston Press was contacted by the alleged burglar saying that Theresa Roemer's stolen valuables were actually worthless
The newspaper received a package containing 10-15 items from socialite's collection, including a locket allegedly containing her dead son's hair
Mrs Roemer was contacted last week by the burglar, who demanded $500,000 for her items - and for the thief's silence about their true value
Authorities say what appears to be a professional thief spent 40 minutes removing items from Theresa Roemer's massive closet August 2
Surveillance footage recorded a small man dressed entirely in white and wearing gloves in the house
Roemer and her husband were away from home at dinner only 90 minutes
The dramatic heist of nearly $1million in designer bags, jewelry and furs from the 3,000-square-foot closet of a suburban Houston socialite has taken a strange media twist possibly involving a failed ransom plot.
A person claiming to be the housebreaker sent several of the stolen items to a weekly newspaper, claiming that they were fake and therefore worthless.
The valuables were stolen August 2 from a closet in the palatial home of Theresa Roemer, who uses the room dubbed in the media the ‘she-cave’ for charity fundraisers.
