On December 5, 2008, 74 year old self-proclaimed "art dealer to the stars" Cliff Lambert failed to show up at the annual Winter Festival of Lights Parade in Palm Springs. His friends were concerned, but not overly concerned because it wasn't unusual for Cliff to dip in and out of communication with his friends periodically. But after a few days, his close friend, Eddie Mullican, couldn't help but wonder where Cliff was, as something didn't feel right. So Eddie reported him missing. While the investigation was a little slow to get going. But, just before the New Year, when the detective assigned to Cliff's case received a call informing him that a Nepalese Prince was attempting to sell Cliff's home and this real estate agent did a quick Google search to discover Cliff had actually gone missing from Palm Springs, it sent the investigation into high gear. And what became of this case was a more than decade long odyssey involving an eclectic group of conmen out to get their hands on Cliff's fortune, which consisted of a very expensive and precious collection of artwork that Cliff proudly hung from the walls of his home...at least that's what he told people. What happened to Cliff Lambert?
