The ex-wife of a man who died while searching for a cache of gold and jewels says she believe he lost his life chasing a hoax.
Linda Bilyeu told The Albuquerque Journal she's disappointed that Randy Bilyeu, the father of her two daughters, died while searching for treasure Santa Fe author Forrest Fenn says he's hidden in the Rocky Mountain region.
Although 54-year-old Bilyeu was reported missing in January, his remains weren't found until July. Bilyeu was visiting Santa Fe from Broomfield, Colorado, to search for Fenn's antique treasure chest. It's said to contain more than $1 million worth of gold, jewels and artifacts.
Fenn called the death "very unfortunate" and said Tuesday that the treasure is not a hoax and is not hidden in a dangerous place.
Is Fenn’s Treasure hidden somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado?
It’s in East Tincup.
Can’t claim darwin awards, because he has already procreated, apparently.
Here comes the lawsuit. He’ll have to show if this “treasure” is real.
He died doing what he loved.
We don’t need no steenkin’ hoaxes.
It has been narrowed down to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado or New Mexico. Good luck.
Treasure of Sierra Madre 2.
I know, oh gads, died on an adventure.
Beats throwing a rod sitting behind a desk trying to make a deadline...
Well, it was fun while it lasted!

Wonder if he’ll sneak out and bury something now to prove there was “treasure”? LOL
Bet the IRS finds it first.
