“#Mystery surrounds Forrest Fenn treasure<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

More than a year after one of the most storied treasures in recent history was found in Wyoming, a group of disgruntled hunters are still not satisfied with the \u201csolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

They grew even more suspicious last month after a confidant of Forrest Fenn, the enigmatic New Mexico antiques dealer who buried the loot, revealed a series<\/a> of emails suggesting that Fenn was desperate for the search to end. <\/p>\n

Now, some within the close-knit community of treasure seekers say he may even have set up the discovery by helping the medical student who found it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that Fenn pulled the treasure and ended the chase,\u201d said Miriam De Fronzo, a massage therapist from St. Petersburg, Fla., who spent four years searching for the bronze chest full of gold coins and jewelry that Fenn hid in the Rocky Mountains in 2010. Treasure hunters were given clues to its location in a poem written by Fenn. <\/p>\n

\u201cForrest left everything wrapp<\/a>ed up too tightly with a bow,\u201d De Fronzo added of the solve, which came just months before Fenn\u2019s death, at 90, in September 2020. \u201cSo much of it doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the emails,<\/a> written between December 2019 and March 2020, Fenn seemed exhausted by what the search \u2014\u00a0which he set up to give families a reason to \u201cget off their couches\u201d and head into the outdoors \u2014\u00a0had become.<\/p>\n

In addition to receiving death threats and his granddaughter being stalked by a treasure seeker during the 10-year search for the cache, Fenn was also facing lawsuits <\/a>over the location of the loot and worried that more people would die trying to find it. Four men had already died while searching, and the body of a fifth would be discovered by Colorado rescuers on March 21, 2020. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter consulting with several people, the decision was unanimous to stop the search,\u201d said Fenn in an email to his spokesman Dal Neitzel on Dec. 7, 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will cause the treasure chest to be photographed in situ, and then retrieved,\u201d he wrote Neitzel. \u201cThe photos will be posted on {Neitzel\u2019s] site \u2026 As of now \u2026 the chase is over.\u201d<\/p>\n

It officially ended six months later, although at the time Fenn gave out few details and did not reveal the finder. Last December, an article in \u201cOutside\u201d <\/a>magazine named the person as Jack Stuef, a Michigan medical student. <\/p>\n

But even then the details surrounding the \u201csolve\u201d were sketchy, complained De Fronzo and other treasure seekers. They wondered why Stuef admitted to searching the same area for 25 days and then leaving the treasure hidden once he had found it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was possible that he [Stuef] was close and Forrest nudged him,\u201d De Fronzo said. \u201cDo you believe that after he found the treasure, he left it there overnight? \u2026So much doesn\u2019t add up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stuef\u2019s attorney Christopher Grant Humphrey declined to comment.<\/p>\n

De Fronzo and others believe that Neitzel decided to post his correspondence with Fenn now in order to alert the treasure hunting community that something was not right. <\/p>\n

\u201cI published those emails for no different reason than I have made public any of the others,\u201d Neitzel told The Post. \u201cI think they are interesting and shed light on Forrest\u2019s mindset at a particular moment during the chase. Those emails certainly confirm that Forrest considered ending the chase, \u00a0once in December of 2019 and again in March of 2020, and the specific reasons he had for considering doing so, but those emails alone do not provide evidence that he actually did end the chase.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
