William Burkhart

Overview

A religious fanatic with a history of mental illness, William Burkhart eludes a posse for 34 days in the snow-capped mountains of Colorado in 1995. Burkhart commits a string of bizarre burglaries in unoccupied summer cabins. Three Park County deputies surround him, but Burkhart shoots one of them and escapes into the dark woods. Sheriff Bob Harrison leads the ensuing manhunt for Burkhart, which is nothing like Park County has ever seen.
