So, Jonathan Kenneth Stuef, born in 1988 is not married, and he currently lives in an apartment on Calle Marseilles, San Juan Puerto Rico. He moved there in 2019, way before he allegedly found the treasure. I'm surprised he lives in an apartment since he apparently is wealthy now. Prior to moving to Puerto Rico, he lived in Philadelphia in 2013 and then Fenton Michigan (which is where his family lives) in 2014. I would think he would be a doctor by now since he said he went to medical school, but there are no medical licenses associated with him.
There are no records stating he was a medical student, there are no records indicating he worked for Georgeton Heckler or the Onion. Who on earth would give up medical school and writing to look for a treasure that no one has found in over 10 years?
This box doesn't look like any box that would have been buried for 10 years. It actually looks brand new. It's sad how so many people believed in this crap! It is interesting that the so-called treasure was found in June 2020 and Fenn died three months later.
RIP: From Wikipedia
Five people died while searching for the treasure. This led the chief of the New Mexico State Police, Pete Kassetas, to publicly implore Fenn to end the treasure hunt, stating "He's putting lives at risk."
Randy Bilyeu went missing in January 2016 and was found dead in July. His body was discovered by workers along the Rio Grande, and an autopsy could not determine the cause of death. Bilyeu's ex-wife publicly stated her belief that the Fenn Treasure was a hoax.
Jeff Murphy (age 53) of Batavia, Illinois, was found dead in Yellowstone National Park on June 9, 2017, after falling about 500 feet (150 m) down a steep slope. Yellowstone officials did not provide details to the public concerning their investigation, but KULR-TV filed a Freedom of Information Act request. The television station reports that Murphy's wife told park authorities that he was looking for the treasure when she first reported him missing.
Pastor Paris Wallace of Grand Junction, Colorado, told family members that he was searching for a buried treasure, but he failed to show up for a planned family meeting on June 14, 2017. His car was found parked near the Taos Junction Bridge and his body was found 5 to 7 miles (8.0 to 11.3 km) downstream along the Rio Grande.
Eric Ashby (age 31) was found dead in Colorado's Arkansas River on July 28, 2017. Friends and family stated that he had moved to Colorado in 2016 to look for the treasure, and was last seen on June 28 rafting on the river 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 km) upstream from where his body was found. The raft overturned and Ashby had been missing since that time.
Michael Wayne Sexson (age 53) of Deer Trail, Colorado, was found dead by rescuers on March 21, 2020, alongside his unnamed 65-year-old male companion, who later recovered in hospital (later named as Steven Inlow). Authorities were notified by the person who rented a pair of snowmobiles to the men. The pair were discovered within 5 miles (8.0 km) of a site they had been rescued from a month earlier, near the Dinosaur National Monument along the Utah-Colorado border.
A number of notable controversies surrounded the treasure hunt. Several searchers were cited or arrested for committing legal infractions in the course of their pursuits.
An unidentified man searching for the treasure was arrested in New Mexico in 2013 and charged with damaging a cultural artifact for digging beneath an iron cross of a descanso near the Pecos River.
In April 2014, national park rangers detained Darrel Seller and Christy Strawn for having a metal detector and digging in Yellowstone National Park while searching for the Fenn treasure. On May 9, park rangers accused the couple of camping without a permit and starting a small fire.
Scott Conway was cited by New Mexico State Parks officers after he dug a large hole on state land near Heron Lake while looking for the Fenn treasure.
A Pennsylvania man, Robert Miller, was arrested for burglary, breaking and entering, and criminal damage to property in October 2018. Miller broke into Fenn's property and was hauling away a Spanish-style chest he thought was the treasure. He was caught in the act and held at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived.
In December 2019, David Harold Hanson of Colorado Springs, Colorado, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Forrest Fenn. The lawsuit alleges Fenn made several fraudulent statements and deceived searchers. Although Hanson attempted to reopen it, the case was closed.
In January 2020, David Christensen of Indiana had to be rescued by Yellowstone National Park rangers after he attempted to rappel over 850 feet (260 m) from a rope tied to a railing into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. He was ordered to spend a week in jail and pay rescue costs of just over $4000. He received a five-year ban from the park. Disregarding Fenn's remarks that no climbing was required, Christensen remained convinced at his sentencing his solution was correct.
