Treasure Seekers Murder Mystery Near Old Indian Head Farm
Albert Craske 50 was found with two gunshot wounds on a derelict farm near The Old Indian Head three dozen miles north of town. Deputies traced a motive to a band of treasure hunters linked to the Egan Rats. Richard Boff, 20, confessed to the killing after being jailed on a minor charge and told sheriffs of a buried fortune. He later hired Craske to dig for the loot, but the search yielded only holes and bruised hands as the plan unraveled.
