48 Hours (10 p.m., CBS) - Tony Dokoupil reports new details in the story of Forrest Fenn, the eccentric millionaire — described by some as a “modern day Indiana Jones” — who in 2010 launched a treasure hunt, announcing he had hidden a chest worth about $1 million somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Fenn wrote a 24-line poem to guide seekers to the treasure. The search drove tens of thousands of people to join the search, often taking deadly risks. (This plot recently played out on an episode of the Fox drama “9-1-1.”) Five people lost their lives. The chest was found by a medical student in 2020, just three months before Fenn died. Tonight’s episode has an exclusive interview with a treasure hunter who was stranded with a friend on a mountaintop where the friend froze to death. Also featured is an exclusive interview with a medical nurse who helped rescue a Jack Russell terrier named Leo, who survived 10 days in freezing temperatures after his owner died while seeking the treasure.
