Cops: Nobel-napper helped self to Harvard prof’s Arlington digs
Boston Herald
Friday, April 16, 2010
The 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics has vanished into thin air after the dumbest desperado in the world broke into the home of one of the smartest scientists on the planet, leaving a trashy trail of evidence - including a food stamp receipt - that pointed police to his capture, authorities allege.
“Clearly the victim and the alleged perpetrator in this case are on opposite ends of the IQ spectrum,” Arlington police Chief Frederick Ryan told the Herald.
Stephen Beaulieu, 42, of Skowhegan, Maine - a disheveled drifter with champagne tastes - broke into Harvard University Professor of Physics Roy J. Glauber’s home overlooking Spy Pond in Arlington last month, slept in one of his beds, stubbed out a cigarette on a nightstand and stuffed his face with imitation lobster and smoked oysters bought with his food stamp card, investigators said.
Police, meanwhile, are trying to track down Glauber’s Nobel Prize for his work on the behavior of light, as well as a Nobel replica and a Spanish Academy of Sciences Gold Medal he has been unable to locate since the break-in.
“Obviously, they mean a great deal to me,” the 84-year-old brainiac said. “I cannot imagine what good they would be to anybody.”
It’s unclear what a Nobel Prize would fetch on the street. Glauber’s bauble is inscribed with his name, roughly 2.5 inches in diameter and cast in 18-karat green gold plated with 23-karat gold. It bears the profile of Swedish dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel.
“It’s an open and active investigation in terms of trying to recover the prize,” Ryan said. “Hopefully, we’ll develop some leads. Clearly there’s a distinction to be made between the monetary value and the emotional value of a Nobel Prize. Emotionally, it’s priceless.”
Beaulieu pleaded not guilty to breaking and entering and remains behind bars in Cambridge Jail. His attorney didn’t return calls.
Beaulieu has a rap sheet spanning six states that includes everything from robbery to drunken driving, according to Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone Jr.
Beaulieu was arrested by state police Friday in Russell thanks to a $7.88 receipt from a Hannaford Supermarket in Saugus police found in Glauber’s house, which they say is from purchases made March 6 with Beaulieu’s Maine food stamp card.
Detectives also recovered a piece of hair from the pillow on the rumpled bed in Glauber’s spare bedroom. Leone’s spokeswoman Cara O’Brien said investigators believe Beaulieu chose Glauber’s book-filled home at random.
Glauber, returning from a trip to Arizona, discovered the rotting, half-eaten seafood near a broken first-floor window, police said.
Prosecutors said Beaulieu helped himself to Glauber’s creature comforts between March 6 and 7. Glauber told the Herald his home-crasher “went through everything in the house and turned everything upside-down.”
Elizabeth Glauber said her father-in-law’s “career keeps on flying,” since winning the Nobel Prize. “He does more traveling and speaking than anyone I’ve ever met,” she said.
