Dear Ms. Wang:

Reference: Forrest Fenn Treasure

Subject: Response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request NPS-2020-01088

This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated July 20, 2020, in which you requested “internal reports, memoranda, investigation files, and correspondence regarding Fenn’s treasure.” Your request has been processed in accordance with the FOIA (5 U.S.C. § 552).

Upon further review, your request is granted in part and denied in part. We are providing two files, totaling 41 pages of responsive material. Portions of approximately 33 pages, however, are being withheld under Exemption Exemptions 6 of the FOIA, and portions of approximately 22 pages are being withheld under Exemption 7(C) of the FOIA.

Exemption 6 allows us to withhold information that if released would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Exemption 7(C) allows us to withhold information from law enforcement files that could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

The information being withheld consists of personally identifiable information (PII), including names, addresses, driver’s license numbers and personal email addresses for individuals other than yourself. We have determined that the individuals to whom this information pertains have a substantial privacy interest in withholding it. You have not provided information that explains a relevant public interest under the FOIA in the disclosure of this personal information. Additionally, we have determined that the disclosure of this information would shed little or no light on the performance of the agency’s statutory duties. Because the harm to personal privacy is greater than whatever public interest might be served by disclosure, we have determined that the release of the information that is being withheld would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy of these individuals and we are therefore withholding it under Exemptions 6 and 7(C).

The incident reports you have requested are contained within the Incident Management and Reporting System (IMARS), which is a Privacy Act System of Records (DOI-10). Therefore, although some or all of the information being withheld may be known to you through other means, we are obligated under the Privacy Act and FOIA to withhold that information. Additionally, records relating to the death of Mr. Murphy at Yellowstone National Park has been previously been made available on our FOIA frequently requested documents page https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/foia-frd.htm.

Pursuant to regulation, 43 CFR 2.24(b) the following person is responsible for this denial:

Charis Wilson NPS FOIA Officer

Additionally the following attorney was consulted during the preparation of this response:

Jason Waanders, Attorney-Advisor, Office of the Solicitor U.S. Department of the Interior, Philadelphia, PA

You have the right to appeal this denial of your request. You may file an appeal by writing to:

Freedom of Information Act Appeals Officer Office of the Solicitor U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, NW MS-6556-MIB, Washington, D.C. 20240 [email protected]

Your appeal must be received no later than 90 workdays after the date of this final response. The appeal should be marked, both on the envelope and the face of the appeal letter, with the legend "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION APPEAL." Your appeal should be accompanied by a copy of your original request and copies of all correspondence between yourself and the National Park Service related to this request, along with any information you have which leads you to believe the records are available, including where they might be found, if the location is known to you. Please note, appeals received after 5 p.m. EST will be considered to have been received as of the following day.

Also as part of the 2007 OPEN Government Act FOIA amendments, the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) was created to offer mediation services to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies as a nonexclusive alternative to litigation. Using OGIS services does not affect your right to pursue litigation.

You may contact OGIS in any of the following ways:

Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) National Archives and Records Administration Room 2510 8601 Adelphi Road College Park, MD 20740-6001

E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 301-837-1996 Fax: 301-837-0348 Toll-free: 1-877-684-6448

Additionally, because the National Park Service creates and maintains law enforcement records, we are required by the Department of Justice to provide the following information, even though it may or may not apply to your specific request. Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that we are required to give all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, as the person responsible for processing your request, with any further questions or concerns. Additionally, contact information for the Department’s FOIA Public Liaison is available at https://www.doi.gov/foia/foiacenters.

Charis Wilson NPS FOIA Officer From: Ross.Tara To: --net Subject: �gov: ALERT - TREASURE HUNTER KNOWN AS-- INBOUND TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK Date: Wednesday, October29, 2014 2:24:28 PM

Hello Mr. Fenn,

I am fo1warding this email that came to Yellowstone National Park from someone named Anne Onomuss (obviously anonymous). We have had several treasure hunters in the park. I'm not sure why exactly we should pay special attention to this. I assumed it was a hoax that had no purpose.

Out of curiosity, I called the phone number on the email to see if it was the "sender" who would answer. If this email is actually from you and you have anything particular you are hying to ale1i to us, feel free to contact us again.

Suggest the Yellowstone rangers be on the lookout for this individual (most probably using a rental car) and search his vehicle BEFORE he departs the park.

Tera, Your- has been a trouble maker on the biogs for many months and has been blocked and then allowed to return. He has claimed to have found the treasure but has never supplied any proof. To tweak my memory I asked a friend who biogs to tell me what is generally known about- and the response is below for your information. My feeling is that you can forget about him. I have no idea who Anne Anomuss is but I can assure it is not me. I will forward additional information about- as soon as I receive it. Forrest Fenn

FF - I can research for you, but I need time.

I might be miles off the mark, but I think he's arrogant, conceited, halfway intelligent, boring, & secretive. I wouldn't trust him. His picture on the blog is Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.

- posts a comment, then immediately deletes it. He has quit searching & left the Chase Chat blog many times. Then he comes back with his tail between his legs - all apologetic. I think he lies about a lot of stuff. He would be a "lurker", but he has to always put in his 2 cents.

I don't know anything about his personal life. I will find out.

Tera, here is an exchange between (b) (6) and S, who owns the chase chat blog. This is a typical exchange from him. f

Well Missy:) The way you act you inherited your money. The sooner you go broke the better. Then you can pull yourself up or not. Have friends very few.

You also refused to even bother to ever look for an arrowhead in Chicago. Find 10 ways to find a arrowhead. One you could have been go to a store:)

This told me right off the bat your where never going to start out small and grow. Same dam thing with Dal. Watching him shot at the same deer 65 times is beyond sportsmanship......

He gets so pissed when someone uses the word professional. Well dal did you find a $250,000 meteorite? No your didn't......

Did you recover a stolen artwork worth $20K? No you didn't. Did you make $30K solving other armchair treasure hunts no you didn't......

Just getting warm here:)

Months ago said you should try to find an arrowhead in Chicago. Funny because Fenn also was watching your reply How do I know? His posts and interactions on the thread. You said basically "No" I'm off to find King Tut's tomb ...... You want to play on a level that took people 20 years to get to and then you wonder why the hell can't I win?

These posts where back on Dal's site before the Today Show......

Fenn thinks he so cute with his little bass story...... Well gave him one back...... Wonder how he took the part where I said I don't care a million is up for grabs really want to find an answer...... besides it's your money where using Fenn he he he he.....

Knowing Fenn he now will come out with a bigger clue release to kick back at me:) Have an email showing one word being used as a key

Who else here has that type of email? Once I gave him that he gave everyone a update. A few people are in a tight focus......

Know he's itching to hit back......

An example of how most searchers feel about him ... crazyfamily told (b) (6)

Sorry, (b) (6) , your bad grammar and spiteful tone make you sound like a high school punk. You change your posts so much that by the time I quoted this one you had already deleted the part about being done here. What a freakin' baby.

From: Forrest Fenn To: "Ross, Tara" Cc: Forrest Fenn Subject: FW: WV Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2014 3:40:17 PM

Tera, he may be coming your way but he doesn’t know where the treasure is hidden. f

(b) (6) - Used to make trouble, but has calmed down quite a bit. He was going searching the middle of this month.

Well fan club members thought I throw everything out and start all over...... Going to try to be constructive and up lifting to everyone here. I'm sure someone will give me a hard time. I'll take it for awhile then hit back hard,it's going to hurt. Otherwise we'll get along fine:)

As for Forrest he's a great guy:) He's funny, animals and kids dance and play with him and him with them. dancing and playing:)

On the other hand "Fenn"? He is the toughest most ruthless ill tempered most foul creature I ever did meet. Brilliant clever cunning and shrewd......

Not going to sit here on a forum/blog for 6 months. Like talking and living the game of treasure hunting so I need this outlet:)

If the right solve comes in going to push it hard into the Rockies. The best time to treasure hunt? When no one is treasure hunting.

So...... "Begin where warm waters halt."

I'm Rocky bound. Heading out to the as soon as I can:)

The only way to know is to get out in the field. It will cost with lost work about $4k...... Have to now:)

This is the end of my journey. Not looking back ...... Go home broke or go home big:)

From: Ross.Tara To: Forrest Fenn Subject: Re: FW: WV Date: Wednesday, October29, 2014 4:37:08 PM

Thanks for the info and getting back to us. We won't give this guy another thought. He's not the first one we've had show up here looking for the treasure. We did look up his picture and infonnation where he is employed at a school from the other link in the email.

It is interesting that whoever sent this email has your personal phone number and email address. This is what caught our attention and seemed a bit concerning, and that we were to confiscate whatever he had and returnit to you. There is a facebook page for someone named Anne Onomuss, but we were unable to see anything there.

Take care,

Tara

Dear Mr. Fenn, My name is (b) (6) , and I am from the of South Dakota. First let me say that I am not a treasure hunter, although I have read with great interest your clues and followed the story of the treasure closely. I am more of a seeker of knowledge, listener, writer, and an admirer of the outdoors. The story of your treasure sparked in me an excitement about your intent: to get people into the great outdoors, to encourage discovery and adventure – not necessarily for the treasure - but for the special places in our great country that so many people never even knew existed. I have a proposition for you – and I hope you’ll take me quite seriously. Your idea has inspired a number of people to venture out, seeking your treasure. What if I could perpetuate this idea many, many years into the future? My idea is simple – split the treasure into several parts, and secret these parts in different locations across the country, each with its own set of clues. I have the capability to complete this task – I won’t include my resume in this email, but know that I have been involved with exploring some of the longest and most complex caves on this planet, climbing world class peaks (I recently completed the ascent of this last August), and travelling our great country to show my children these special places that we as Americans need to learn more about in order to help protect them. If I were to relocate your treasure to some of these places, perhaps it would encourage even more interest in these locations and ignite a new wave of interest across our great country. Perhaps we could even stipulate that anyone finding the treasure caches should continue the tradition by splitting the treasure yet again and finding new locations for adventure. I realize that it all sounds too good to be true – and why would you have any reason to trust me? I have a roof over my head, a wife and two boys whom I love, and a well-paying job. I have need of nothing else in life other than teaching my boys the value of respecting the land, exploration and discovery, and helping them grow. Would I like a portion of your treasure? Of course. Who wouldn’t? Do I need it? No. Besides, it belongs to you. Consider my offer, and if you’d like to know more, I would be happy to talk in person, on the phone, or over email. Lastly, I have studied the clues you’ve provided, and I believe that the treasure is North of Ennis Lake (Brown[Trout]’s Home) on the in , very close to Warm Springs Landing and Bear Trap Canyon. If I am right, and with your permission, I would like to proceed with my idea, and together we could develop the locations and clues for the other caches. Thanks for suffering through my lengthy message, and I hope you take my offer seriously.

Dear Sarah, The two emails you quoted are the only ones I received from Mr. Murphy. I am not familiar with the area in which he was looking, and have never been in that part of the park. I would happily pay for some helicopter time if that would assist you in the search. Please let me know what to do. I am copying Mrs. Murphy. Forrest Fenn

Dear Mr. Fenn, I am leading investigations on the search for Mr. Murphy here in Yellowstone National Park. At this time we have over 5 dog teams, 8 mounted horses, 24 ground pounders and over 18 people organizing the search. Many people are vested in finding Mr. Murphy alive. We are mostly in need of understanding WHERE Mr. Murphy may have been trekking while looking for buried treasure that seems to have been prompted by a poem written by you.

He left the trailhead yesterday (08/07/17) morning around 0815 am on the Rescue Creek Trailhead with the destination of Turkey Penn Peak. He told his wife that he wanted to look on the north side of the trail and in the email to you sent on June 03, I see that he states "Since I now know that 2 trips in 1 afternoon is not a reference to a campsite, I am planning to circle back to my blaze." He also wrote an email to you referencing the trip that he and his wife took in late May to the 1A2 campsite. If you were Mr. Murphy and were looking for buried treasure related to the poem that you wrote, where would you be walking/wandering/looking? If you need a copy of a map, I would be happy to provide one. Any assistance you can provide at this point would be more than helpful. Thank you.

Fatality near North Entrance Search for Missing Person ends

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY – Today, park search crews located the body of Jeff Murphy who was missing near the park’s North Entrance. Mr. Murphy’s death appears to have resulted from a fall on Turkey Pen Peak.

Mr. Murphy, 53, from Batavia, Illinois went for a day hike on the Rescue Creek Trail on June 7. The park initiated the search on June 8 when Mr. Murphy’s wife reported that he failed to check in.

“All of us at Yellowstone extend our sympathy to the Murphy family for their tragic loss,” said Superintendent Dan Wenk.

At its peak, the search involved eight hiking teams, five dog teams, four horse teams, and a helicopter.

The Rescue Creek Trail, which had been closed due to this search, is open. However, visitors should anticipate temporary closures in the area until the investigation is complete.
