24: Forrest Fenn's Treasure, Death and Crime. Yellowstone and Beyond.

National Park After Dark

Forrest Fenn was dying when he decided to come up with a treasure hunt. He had plans to give 2 million dollars worth of his gold and treasures to anyone that could find where he hid it. He wrote a poem with 9 clues that would lead one lucky person somewhere into the Rocky Mountains. What he wasn't counting on was all the people that would die, the destruction it would cause, and the crimes that he himself would become a victim of.
