The saga of the Forrest Fenn treasure took a strange turn late last week when a Pennsylvania man traveled all the way to New Mexico and broke into the author's home looking for riches. The hidden cache of gold, jewels, and other valuables, believed to be worth around $2 million dollars, has spawned considerable controversy in recent years as it has been blamed for the death of four individuals who lost their lives in search of the treasure which Fenn claims that he buried somewhere in the American southwest.
The trouble surrounding the treasure finally arrived on Forrest Fenn's proverbial doorstep last Friday when a man named Robert Miller reportedly journeyed to the author's residence in Santa Fe with the belief that the riches were actually hidden inside the home. This suspicion led him to break through a gate on the property and then smash a window with an ax in order to gain entrance to a guest house on the property. Once inside, Miller seized upon some kind of chest which he was certain contained the much-discussed treasure.
It was that point that Fenn and his daughter arrived home to see Miller trying to make off with the box. The pair apparently got the jump on him as they were both armed and, thus, were able to detain him until police arrived. More on this bizarre story at the Coast to Coast AM website.
