Before serial killers, there was starvation. And sometimes, the result was far worse.
This is the horrifying true story of the Donner Party, a group of pioneers who set out for California—and ended up devouring each other to survive. But this isn’t the version you heard in history class.
In this Devil’s DNA special, we strip back the myths and uncover the freezing terror, the madness, the power plays, and the slow, agonizing descent into cannibalism. What happens when survival erases morality? What happens when people become food?
⚰️❄️🍖 Grim, graphic, and based on journals, witness accounts, and forensic data—this episode is a historical horror story you won’t forget.
