Code-breaker Alan Turing's mementoes back at old school...with help of the FBI
Daily Express
|August 24, 2023
SECOND World War codebreaker Alan Turing's prized possessions are back at his old school 39 years after their bizarre theft.
A woman claiming to be his daughter snatched the historic haul including his OBE and a congratulatory letter from George VI from Sherborne School, Dorset, in 1984.
It took an FBI raid, a US civil case and help from Buckingham Palace and the Met Police to finally bring them home.
The brazen theft saw a visitor called "Julia Turing" take the papers, including his Princeton degree, school reports and letters, after asking to view them.
She left a note saying they would be "well taken care of" before walking out of the door.
