They just did a complete renovation and gutted the house and dug up the yard. If it was in the immediate yard then it has been found.

The picture on gazmuth's post, above, is located in Galena, KS and is advertised as the "Murder Bordello" or "Haunted Bordello" of Madam Steffleback...however, this building is NOT the original building, nor is it in the right location. Evidently, several years ago, a "paranormal investigator" told the owners of the falling-down building that it was "haunted by the spirits of murdered miners", and convinced the owners to spend thousands of dollars of restoration and turning it into a tourist trap....at least that is the story according to the locals.

When Steffleback was sent to prison, the house was demolished (some say burned) in attempts to find any hidden cash. No one is sure of the original location today.
