Treasure hunters who claim the FBI made off with several tons of buried Civil War-era gold are now questioning whether evidence related to the 2018 excavation in Pennsylvania has been destroyed. According to local lore, the gold was lost or stolen during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.
Finders Keepers, which sued the Justice Department over its failure to produce records on the FBI's search for the legendary gold, said in a court filing Friday that the FBI initially said its records of the dig included 17 video files. Now, the government claims there are only four videos. Federal officials have not explained the discrepancy, the treasure hunters said.
"This raises the obvious question of whether videotapes were destroyed in the interim," wrote attorney Anne Weismann, Finders Keepers' lawyer. Weismann asked a judge to order the FBI to explain the discrepancy in the number of video files it says it has.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
