FILE - Anne Hendricks Bass is photographed attending the 2009 Whitney Museum of American Art gala and studio party, Oct. 19, 2009, in New York. The last of three masked men who claimed to have injected the wealthy Connecticut arts patron and her companion with a deadly virus pleaded guilty Tuesday, June 18, 2024, in connection to the 2007 home invasion. It was part of a failed attempt to extort $8.
Three additional men in the case have already been convicted, including the two other masked intruders who prosecutors said entered the home in South Kent with Barabas brandishing fake guns. The men then bound and blindfolded millionaire philanthropist Anne Hendricks Bass and abstract artist Julian Lethbridge, injected them with a substance they claimed was a deadly virus and demanded the couple pay the $8.5 million or else be left to die.
In 2012, during the trial of Emanuel Nicolescu, one of the intruders and Bass’ former house manager that she had fired, Bass tearfully described thinking she was going to die the night the three men burst into the home she shared with Lethbridge.
