Another interesting story Jeff.
Clearly one of Multlins the father or son or both are lying. The sons claims that two masked gunmen took jewellery yet left cash? They certainly exactly knew where this jar was and where to exactly dig in basement. I suspect clearly one of two masked me was involved in hiding the jar. If the house was built only 10 years ago we could assume it was buried in 1949.
Perhaps dad was hiding gold coin from IRS. His son knew about it and made up the story about the two masked men.
