Spooky Season 25 Ep: 3- The Colorado Cannibal

Welcome to Colorado Crime, where two best friends turned “partners in crime” dig into the darkest stories from Colorado and beyond.

We bring you deep dives into true crime cases — from haunting unsolved mysteries to the infamous and the overlooked — all told with empathy, curiosity, and a dash of humor to keep things human. Every episode blends solid research, thoughtful storytelling, and the kind of banter that only comes from years of friendship (and maybe a few too many late-night coffee runs).

At the heart of every story are the victims — their lives, their voices, and the justice they deserve.

So grab your headphones and join us as we explore the darker side of the Rockies… one case at a time.

The crimes that we discuss are graphic and may be difficult for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
