I have heard talk of a Maryland jewelry cache. Has anyone else heard of this or is it bogus?

He ran with $150,000 that his parents gave them. Fearing capture by the FBI, he stashed the money in suitcases somewhere near Harper's Ferry, Maryland. He was eventually captured and sentenced to seven years in jail, but the loot was never excavated. He claimed it was still there around the time of his death in 1966
