Authorities have yet to recover the jewels stolen from the Louvre Museum despite the arrest of two suspects in the case, French investigators announced Wednesday.

Four thieves broke into the Louvre on October 19 and made off with an estimated $102 million worth of crown jewels, with the heist lasting less than 10 minutes. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau delivered an update on the investigation to the press on Wednesday.

"I want to remain hopeful that [the jewels] will be found and they can be brought back to the Louvre, and more broadly to the nation", Beccuau said.

There is no evidence that the robbery was an inside job, according to Beccuau. Authorities made the two arrests on Saturday, with one of the men attempting to board a plane to Algeria. Beccuau said that the suspects in custody have at least in part recognized their involvement in the heist, Reuters reported.

The crew of thieves used a basket lift to scale the Louvre’s façade, forced open a window, smashed display cases and fled, according to French officials. The Louvre's director, Laurence des Cars, acknowledged there was a "terrible failure" in the museum's security.

Beccuau said investigators from a special police unit in charge of armed robberies, serious burglaries and art thefts made the arrests. She said the premature leak of information could hinder the work of over 100 investigators "mobilized to recover the stolen jewels and apprehend all of the perpetrators."

The thieves escaped with a total of eight objects, including a sapphire diadem, necklace and single earring from a set linked to 19th-century queens Marie-Amélie and Hortense. They also stole an emerald necklace and earrings tied to Empress Marie-Louise, Napoleon Bonaparte’s second wife, and a reliquary brooch. Empress Eugénie’s diamond diadem and her large corsage-bow brooch — an imperial ensemble of rare craftsmanship — were also part of the loot.

Eugénie’s emerald-set imperial crown with more than 1,300 diamonds was later found outside the museum, damaged but recoverable.

"I had a really hot boyfriend, and he was Mr. Switzerland, bodybuilder," she said. "We dated for four years. And when I say smoking hot … And the reason we broke up was we were at the ESPYs and Pat Summitt had just gotten this award, the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, because she had just been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. And I’m in the audience, and I’m just bawling in the audience, and he asked me, ‘What’s wrong with you? She’s just a coach.’

"And so, we broke up," Rowe continued. "So I just need you to understand I gave up Mr. Switzerland because of Pat Summitt. This is a true story."

Rowe’s story received chuckles from the crowd.

She didn’t name who the bodybuilder was that she was dating.

She has been with ESPN since 1995 and over the last 30 years has carved out a role for herself as the lead sideline reporter for the network’s coverage of college football and women’s college basketball games.

She has also been a part of the Utah Jazz’s coverage as an analyst. She was the first woman to serve in the role for the Jazz.
