For a new article published in Outside magazine, journalist Daniel Barbarisi managed to track down the person who now lays claim to the late Fenn’s riches. His name is Jonathan “Jack” Stuef, a 32-year-old medical student and former journalist himself.

For those not familiar with the story, Forrest Fenn was a Santa Fe millionaire who received a diagnosis of cancer in 1988 that was thought to be terminal. As a lark, he self-published a book in 2010 that, he said, contained clues within a self-composed poem about a treasure chest that he stashed deep within the Rocky Mountains.

To the surprise of Fenn and his doctors, he outlived his original diagnosis. He passed away this September at the age of 90, but not before seeing his book inspire thousands of searchers, at least five of whom died while looking for the chest. Then, this past June, Stuef did what so many others couldn’t: He discovered the location of the hidden treasure.

Although Fenn announced the discovery of the treasure in June, Stuef remained anonymous. In fact, Barbarisi had to do a little hunting around himself to learn the discoverer’s identity. His big breakthrough came on September 23, two weeks after Fenn’s passing, when an essay called “A Remembrance of Forrest Fenn” appeared on Medium.

The self-published post initially ran with “The Finder” as the byline and included a bio that claimed the author was the person who recovered Fenn’s concealed valuables. Barbarisi flagged a portion of the essay, knowing that the writer would be notified, which led to an email exchange between the two. Eventually, Stuef agreed to allow Outside to share his name and some of his story. After Barbarisi’s story posted online on Monday morning, Stuef updated his remembrance of Fenn on Medium to feature his full name and a statement about disclosing his identity.

Stuef told Outside that he only learned about the hunt somewhat recently, when he came across it on Twitter in early 2018. He was attending medical school at the time, but had become disinterested in it, instead finding his mind preoccupied with the treasure hunt. The story reminded him of his childhood obsession with TV show Push, Nevada, which gave prizes when real-life mysteries were solved. Stuef was hooked.

He soon began reviewing every Fenn interview he could find, trying to find secret meanings in the words the man spoke. Though he didn’t reveal to Outside how exactly he solved the riddle, Stuef pointedly said that he didn’t use GPS or any other modern technology.

Stuef also noted that, so far, the treasure has not made him rich. Not only has he not sold it, he hasn’t even had it appraised yet. However, he said that he’s decided to give up on the plan of becoming a doctor and will eventually use some of the treasure to pay off his medical school bills. He’s thinking of going into equities investing next.

One mystery that may never be solved, though, is the exact location of where the treasure was hidden, although Fenn’s family acknowledged it was stashed somewhere in Wyoming. “He [Fenn] didn’t want to see it turned into a tourist attraction,” Stuef told Outside. “We thought it was not appropriate for that to happen. He was willing to go to great lengths, very great lengths, to avoid ever having to tell the location.”
