Summary
Ash covers the most famous cannibal from the state where she lives, Colorado! Alferd or Alfred Packer, history is unclear, was a prospector and "wilderness guide" during the 1800s. Packer led five men on a deadly trek into the snowy Colorado mountains, a trip from which none of them would return. Was he a mad murderer or was he just really incompetent with his wilderness skills? Did Packer murder them for financial gain? Or was the fella just hungry? Listen to today's episode and let us know what you think!
