from History Dweebs - A look at True Crime, Murders, Serial Killers and the Darkside of History

Alfred Packer was an American prospector who confessed to cannibalism during the winter of 1873–1874. He and 5 other men attempted to travel through the high mountains of Colorado during the peak of a harsh winter. They ran out of food when the snow became too deep for travel. Alfred confessed to eating some of his companions and using their flesh to survive his trek out of the mountains two months later. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
