The dapper youth in a hat was photographed outside the museum that Sunday and went viral on social media, prompting theories about his identity.
Police moved swiftly to arrest and charge four people for the crime, while the Louvre director admitted CCTV security was inadequate.
However, the fedora man remained an enigma - until now.
The dandy, it turns out, is a local teenage fan of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot who just happened to be at a real crime scene.
