Is Bosek for sure buried on the property? He has a gravesite at the Newcastle Cemetery is why I ask. There’s a photo I took of it when I visited it on my site https://placerunsolved.wordpress.com/2018/05/01/episode-1-who-killed-matthew-bosek/ - Placer Unsolved Podcast Placerunsolved@gmail.com

Thank you for your comment. What ever happened to Sylvestri? I’m sure he has passed by now but newspaper articles from the time said he eventually left the property, I believe. - Placer Unsolved Podcast Placerunsolved@gmail.com

Matthew Bosek also never went by any other name. One of the other members knew him personally & I grew up listening to stories about Matthew Bosek and have often visited his garden. It is indeed a LONG walk. He is buried there on the property along with over a dozen other members and Hiram Butler.

I knew Fred Peterson since I was 16 years old and lived on the Esoteric for a few years. I still work up on the property. There is only a couple members remaining and one still lives up there in one of the old cabins. Fred was suspicious of Robert Sylvestry up to the very day he died. He often made barricades to protect himself from RS. He suspected he was the one responsible because of things that had happened a week or so prior. RS was trying to trick Fred into signing over the Esoteric.
