## Resource

Five men entered Colorado’s high country chasing gold. One man came back alone. In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, we descend into a chilling true story from the 1870s American West—where hunger, greed, and deception collide in the mountains. What begins as a tale of survival quickly unravels into something far darker as bodies are discovered, stories shift, and evidence refuses to stay buried. This is Part One of the infamous Colorado Cannibal story: a case that inspired films, legends, and a name etched into the landscape itself. Supplies that shouldn’t exist. Money that shouldn’t be spent. And a guide whose explanations never quite add up. The gore fades. The mystery deepens. And the truth waits just out of sight.
