Re: Fenn's treasure
Right, and that's sort of my case in point! An article claims that an informer recorded Fenn saying "X."
While my own words have been recorded in various magazines or articles several times, there have always been journalistic liberties taken such that I don't put much stock into third-hand sources sans the full recording.

And even after due process turns out OJ was innocent? Let's all contribute to finding the real killers...
Re: Fenn's treasure
I too think Fenn is OJ. There's a reason we never see Fenn wearing gloves in photos.

Thrown screaming from a window like the nobles in Prague would have been a 'Fenning' end for such a character.

Re: Fenn's treasure
Looks like Fenn posted the following on the dal neitzel site at the end of July. Somehow I missed that.
"Many of the searchers for my treasure had solves that seemed to neatly fit the clues in my poem. Then when the finder found and retrieved the treasure, other searchers wondered how close they had been to the right spot. Because I promised the finder I would not reveal who found it or where, I have remained mostly silent.
However, the finder understands how important some closure is for many searchers, so today he agreed that we should reveal that the treasure was found in Wyoming. Until he found the treasure, the treasure had not moved in the 10 years since I left it there on the ground, and walked away.
Perhaps today’s announcement will bring some closure to those whose solves were in New Mexico, Colorado, or Montana."

In Highpilgrim’s linked article (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... nn-rockies), Sara Jane Woodall said that he mentioned West Yellowstone a lot in her meetings with the manipulative, creepy man.GreenHorn wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 11:47 amLooks like Fenn posted the following on the dal neitzel site at the end of July.

Re: Fenn's treasure
it's interesting to read his justification for not revealing the treasure's location. in light of what's gone on with The Monolith, it feels like the right decision.Harrison1991 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 8:24 amhttps://t.co/wFlt3oT8Ow
The man who found the treasure, has come forward
