Colorado Cannibal

Overview

This is an educational and historical look at one of the most notorious cases in Colorado history, the story of Alfred Packer and his party's winter survival expedition in the mountains. In it, we examine both the conveyed version of the events, given by Alfred, and the eventual findings of two separate juries. In particular, the specific law changes required a separate trial after Colorado's statehood. This is a survival story in the mountains like almost no other.
