Edward Durrell (1910s - early 1980s) was an industrialist at Milton Valley Farm in Clarke County, Virginia and served as the board chairman for the Union Fork and Hoe Company.[1]
Durrell believed that the gold in Fort Knox was removed in the 1970s[2]. According to Beter, the ex-general counsel for the Export-Import Bank of the United States, Durrell was able to painstakingly make the United States Mint admit that Army trucks in the dead of night had carted off all of Fort Knox's gold by confronting them with photographic evidence; even though subsequent Treasury listings still continued to omit details of that shipment[3].
Edward Durrell was played by David Morse in the 1992 television series Reasonable Doubts episode Moment of Doubt.[4]
