SILVER CITY, N.M. -- Hidden in the sea of treasures at the Manzanita Ridge Antique Shop sat an abstract expressionist masterpiece called "Woman-Ochre" by famed artist Willem de Kooning.

Valued at nearly $160 million, it was missing for 32 years.

This story actually begins in Tucson, Arizona over Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. That weekend, a man and woman walked into the University of Arizona's art museum and stole de Kooning's painting.
