A story from the renowned Yonkers Times discusses Dutch Schultz, famed beer meister and smuggler, and his missing treasure chest. No one really knows where he buried a 2 foot by 3 foot treasure chest filled with gold, diamonds, cash and bonds as a getaway bundle of funds if he had to leave town at a moments notice. That value of the chest and it contents is now estimated between $50 Million-$150 Million. Dutch was gunned down in 1933. Thus, no one really knows where the loot is.
The long held tale was that Schultz buried the chest in the Catskills, in Phoenicia NY, a town that he spent time with. The PBS documentary mentions Phoenicia and a house in Bronxville NY, on the campus of Concordia College, as two other possible locations.
Tantalizing.
