Randy was the first treasure hunter to die looking for Fenn's gold, but he would not be the last. Four others died after Randy. Their loved ones and even a state police chief asked Fenn to call off the treasure hunt, but he refused.
magazine. That article is widely credited with introducing Fenn's modern-day treasure hunt to a national audience.
But after pushing his raft into the Rio Grande, neither friends nor family heard from Randy and, after 10 days, he was reported missing. Erin Johnson was the flight nurse aboard a medical helicopter sent out to try and find any sign of Randy.In January 2016, Randy Bilyeu and his dog Leo set off to search for the treasure in the Rio Grande northwest of Santa Fe. Bilyeu was gone for 10 days before he was reported missing.
The raft was upside down and Erin and the pilot didn't see any signs of life. The pilot put the chopper down on a nearby sand bank so the team could search on foot. "The bank did support us. We were very fortunate," she said. "When we shut down the helicopter and got out — we could very plainly see the raft. And it was at that time that we saw that there was a small dog that was there and barking at us and still alive.
The crew was surprised Leo had survived not only the elements, but the wildlife in the area. "I'm sure that there's coyotes and mountain lions and all sorts of different animal habitat that come to the river to get water. I'm certain that Leo had encountered many of those animals in his short little stint there."
"He was the only one of us that had food on him. It's very commonplace for flight crew to carry a granola bar or a Clif bar or something of the like. And he was the one that actually had one on him," she said. "But then I'd go away, and I'd come back. And I think finally on the third or fourth time, he was willing to come take it from me. And after that, he took several pieces. He was obviously starving. And so ultimately, it was the Clif bar that saved Leo's life.
