Heinz was a German artistic prodigy who emerged in the 1930s as a genuinely exceptional talent. By age 10, he was already composing and building what would become an impressive personal collection—paintings, lithographes, one-of-a-kind jewelry, sculptures, metal work, and even handcrafted musical instruments. His pieces became highly sought after by collectors and galleries, commanding premium prices.
When the Nazi party rose to power, Heinz left Germany to escape political and artistic suppression. He eventually settled in Japan, where he met and married a Japanese woman. After their third daughter was born, he traveled to the United States and vanished under unclear circumstances.
His collection was auctioned off and dispersed globally, with many pieces eventually ending up in Japan through private deals—some involving criminal connections. Over time, the artworks began disappearing one by one, despite tight security. The thefts were carried out by three thieves operating under the name "Cat's Eye." They were actually Heinz's adult daughters, using the thefts as a way to search for clues about his disappearance and trying to draw him out of hiding.
