Leads in Utah?

[Arich1819]

I have heard several stories recently about a distant relative of mine, Butch Cassidy. Claims that some of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid’s treasure was near the Salt Lake Valley. Others saying it is in NM or AZ.

I am not only interested in this unsolved mystery, I have heard about the Native American technique of digging a cave upward, and blocking it off with a river. Ingenious..

Anyways, if anyone knows of any leads near Utah please post them here.

I’ll look into it. Are you willing to provide any other information? I know not not many are willing to tell everyone about a good lead haha

Here's an interesting article from The Yakima (WA) Herald March 2, 1910. No mention of Utah though.

Actually I am doing a series for Wyoming that deals with several locations they are claimed to have hidden loot. Plans are about 5 books to cover the state. But then that leaves Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. Utah would be fun and is in my plans.

I do include the sightings of them after the supposed deaths in South America by people who knew Butch.

I have an an Uncle who is from Orangeville, Utah. When he was in his teens in the 1950's he told me about another old timer who was in his 70's that lived near Emery, who kept fresh horses for Butch. My Uncle was told that Butch had cached $500.00 in Gold on the old timers ranch. When Butch returned, he recovered his cache from the old timers ranch and said he was headed towards the area of Star Valley, Wyoming, said his Good-bye's and was never seen or heard from again.

There was another cache further north from a robbery in which $7,500.00 was also cached in northern Emery county, in the San Juan Rafael swell.,

I'm also from Orangeville, Utah, and lived next door to my Uncle. He was my favorite Uncle, and died in 2017.
