Summary
In late 2022, Rebecca Vance, her sister, and her young son vanished into the Colorado Rockies, seeking refuge from a world they believed was ending. To their family, it was a simple camping trip; in reality, it was a desperate flight into the off-grid wilderness. Armed with inadequate gear and fueled by growing paranoia, they plunged into the high-altitude backcountry to escape a perceived global collapse. A year later, a hiker discovered their remote, silent campsite. What dark reality awaited them in the mountains where nature’s silence can be eternal? --------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to the Casefile Confidential podcast Two chilling episodes will be released every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. ---------------------------------------------------------- Visit tonysale.com for original case files, in-depth articles on unsolved and forgotten crimes, and a collection of books that dig deep into the world’s darkest chapters.
