Summary

THE DEVIL WITHIN — The Wrong Road (Part Two) Months after the Mercury Montego was discovered abandoned in the snow, searchers find something deeper in the forest: A U.S. Forest Service trailer. Inside is everything that could have saved them—bunks, blankets, matches, propane… and enough food to keep multiple men alive for weeks. And in the back room—wrapped carefully in sheets—are the remains of Ted Weiher. He didn’t die quickly. He likely survived for weeks. The horror of this story isn’t supernatural. It isn’t even mysterious. It’s unbearably human. Part Two examines the theories, the folklore, and why people need this to be a conspiracy—because the truth is harder to accept: that confusion, fear, and rigid obedience to “rules” can trap a person even when salvation is right in front of them. This is not a whodunit. It’s a warning. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts—The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf and more—so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

0:02.0	Welcome back to the Devil Within. This is part two of the wrong road.

0:52.1	Months after the Montego had been found, a group of searchers followed a
0:56.5	barely used service road deeper than anyone believed the Yuba County Five could have reasonably walked.
1:02.6	The road twisted like a thought that refused to stay straight. It dropped into valleys and
1:08.0	climbed back into ridges. All of it surrounded by a forest that had grown
1:12.3	used to keeping secrets. And then, through the trees, a shape appeared. It wasn't a cabin, it wasn't a home.
1:21.1	It was a U.S. Forest Service trailer, one of those small, unassuming structures meant to be used by
1:27.1	rangers during seasonal operations.
1:29.9	Its siding was weather-worn, its windows were dark.
1:32.9	To a stranger, it might have looked like a shed someone forgot to take down.
1:37.3	But to someone lost in winter, it would have looked like a damn miracle.
1:43.5	The door was unlocked.
1:45.5	Inside the air smelled stale, like metal and dust and something that used to be warm once.
1:52.0	There were bunk beds, blankets, a fireplace, shelves, a locker stocked with food, canned rations, still sealed,
