Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, D'Lia Diambra. And the case I'm going to tell you about today

The region of the forest where this specific crime took place is known as the Barber Fork area,

which is about a one-hour drive west of Denver and near the town of Idaho Springs.

Shortly after that call came in, deputies with the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office and local paramedics rest to the scene,
