GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (CBS4) - New Mexico state police say they are looking for a pastor from Grand Junction who went missing while searching for hidden treasure.

Wallace's family says he was hoping to find the Forest Fenn treasure, which was allegedly buried somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Fenn is an author who says he hid a chest full of gold and jewels worth millions seven years ago.
