About this episode
In 1874, Alfred Packer guided prospectors through Colorado's winter mountains—then walked into town alone with items that weren't his. He blamed starvation and survival, but the campsite told a different story: scattered bodies, strange injuries, nearby supplies, and contradictions that only got worse. Officially, it was "extreme survival." The judge wasn't convinced.
