Connor — a Milton native who now lives in Blackstone, a small town across the state line from Woonsocket — was once a legend among thieves, a brazen bandit who in 1975 stole a Rembrandt from the Museum of Fine Arts, then promised its safe return to avoid jail time for another heist.
Once the leader of a 1960s band called Myles and the Wild Ones, Connor was convicted of stabbing two women in Quincy in 1975, but the verdict was later overturned.
He was long believed to be involved in the 1990 robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, the largest art theft in history, although he was in prison at the time of the heist.
