Man pleads guilty to stealing Judy Garland's red slippers from Wizard of Oz

Terry Martin pleaded guilty to stealing Dorothy’s ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz, the famous shoes worn by Judy Garland A man in Minnesota has pleaded guilty to stealing the red slippers worn by Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz. Terry Jon Martin, 76, changed his plea to guilty for theft of a major artwork after the famous ruby sequined shoes were brazenly stolen from a museum in 2005.

‘Our top priority was the safe recovery of the slippers,’ Special Agent Dudley said at the time. In May 2023, five years after the slippers were recovered, a Minnesota grand jury indicted Martin – a 76-year-old man who lives just 12 miles south of the Judy Garland Museum. Martin initially entered a not guilty plea when he was arraigned in May. His attorney, Dane DeKrey, said he is in poor health and looking to come clean.
