In 1874, a group of 21 men set off into Colorado's unforgiving San Juan Mountains in search of gold. On one man, Alfred Packer, stumbled back out, looking suspiciously well-fed. This week on Twisted and Mysterious, we chew over the legendary tale of the so-called Colorado Cannibal: Was he a hapless guide just trying to survive? Or the hungriest tour leader in history?

Join us for a tale of snowstorms, shady storytelling, and the only man in U.S. history whose name became both courtroom fodder and a cafeteria punchline.
