8:31Now PlayingSurveillance footage captured an unfathomable winter morning crime that shook Wichita, Kansas and the country, leaving more questions than answers: Who would steal a statue of Jackie Robinson, the barrier-breaking hall of famer? The alleged thief would eventually plead guilty, but it was the efforts of a community, the wife of a late sculptor, and artists at a bronze casting foundry in Colorado that made Jackie’s return a reality earlier this month. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky followed the months-long process and 550-mile journey of number 42’s monumental homecoming.
