About The Show:
On March 31, 1995, nine-year-old Maria Garcia came home to find her mother glued to the TV, tears rolling down her rosy cheeks. The phone kept ringing. Relatives in Mexico and the States wanted to know if Maria’s family was watching, too. American networks and Mexican programming aired the same top story. Selena Quintanilla, the Grammy-winning ascending Mexican American popstar had been killed — swiftly, violently — by the president of her fan club.
The story shook the country and changed Maria’s life.
In "Anything For Selena," host Maria Garcia goes on an intimate, revelatory quest to understand how Selena has become a potent symbol for tensions around race, class and body politics in the United States.
The series weaves Maria’s personal story as a queer, first-generation Mexican immigrant with cultural analysis, history and politics to explore how, 25 years after her death, Selena remains an unparalleled vessel for understanding Latino identity and American belonging.

A look into the largest unsolved art heist in history: the theft of 13 irreplaceable artworks from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. "Last Seen" begins Sept. 17.
In 1990, two thieves stole 13 irreplaceable artworks from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. We take a closer look at what happened that night.
On the night of the heist, security guard Rick Abath made the critical mistake of letting the thieves into the museum. In this episode, we ask if it was indeed a mistake.
Was the heist planned in the belly of Boston's criminal underworld operating out of a Dorchester auto body shop?
Were George Reissfelder and David Turner involved in the Gardner heist?
We trace the art's possible path from Boston to Connecticut to Philadelphia.
This is a story about how to plot an art recovery, and then blow it entirely.
Was the world's greatest art thief the inspiration, or actually the mastermind, of the Gardner heist?
After a parallel heist gone wrong, did Brian McDevitt succeed at the Gardner Museum?
We follow a mobster's tip to excavate a lot in Orlando.
A behind-the-scenes conversation about how we investigated the most sensational unsolved art heist in history.
WBUR’s popular true-crime podcast returns, with mysterious tales about people, places, ashes, planets, endangered species, feelings and much more.

What happened to the prints???
The people in this episode are horrible, incl the reporter. How do you come into possession of someone's ashes & not move heaven & earth to get them to the family? The reporter lives up to the worst stereotype of reporters. And at a more prosaic level, no one seemed all that interested in finding out how it happened in the first place. THAT would have made an interesting story.
Is there a way to sign up for updates. or let us know if there are more episodes?
Love this story!
no more episodes?
Very interesting story! What a shame these thieves got away with this...someone must know something! I think maybe the security supervisor 🤔
stay tuned with preet
love this podcast!
