In this episode of True Crimecast, Jamie and John examine a high-stakes theft that feels like something straight out of a Hollywood script. When Jaythan Gilder walked into a Tiffany & Co. in Orlando posing as a sports agent, staff had no idea they were about to be victims of a bold heist. After grabbing over a million dollars in diamonds, Gilder fled—only to be captured days later in a traffic stop with a stomach full of stolen jewels. From the luxury showroom to a shocking method of concealment, this case is as bizarre as it is brazen. Tune in as we unpack the theft, the chase, and the recovery of some very expensive evidence.
