Stop the Hunt
After the first person to lose their life during the hunt, the New Mexico State Police pleaded with the public to refrain from looking for the treasure any longer. Anyone who moved to Colorado, New Mexico, or anywhere to search for the treasure should rethink their actions. Go back home to your families. It’s not worth losing your life over.
When reporters interviewed Forrest, he was devastated after learning that person after person perished atop the mountains. He warned the public that anyone who wished to search for the treasure should prepare for their journey. That means taking a GPS device with you, several days or weeks of supplies, and knowing of the possible dangers that lie ahead.
