I missed this news from a couple days ago. The Egypt Exploration Society has announced that they are missing at least 120 papyri from the Oxyrhynchus collection.
Read the full announcement here.

Unless I’ve missed something, this is the first mention of a police investigation.
Yes, I think you’re correct. I’m glad to hear that some actual law enforcement is now involved.
Yes, there are a number of civil and quite possibly criminal legal issues.
Unless I am mistaken, EES originally reported that five papyri missing from their collection were in the possession of Stimer. Now they are saying six. I’m curious about the details of the sixth papyrus.
Roberta addressed this question at the SBL FCM session, so I’m belatedly repeating her answer here simply for anyone who missed it: Stimer’s returns involve six EES fragments from five manuscripts; two of the fragments are both from P131, presumably both pictured in the two lower frames here (not counting the very small third fragment) in this post from 14 Oct 2019.
Thanks for this information, Josephine. Do you happen to have a record Roberta’s exact words? I had thought she meant something different.
