Episode 56: Deception in the Rockies
from Wilderness Bonescapes Podcast · host Wilderness Bonescapes
They went to the mountains to celebrate love. They came back with a body at the bottom of a cliff. In 2012, Toni Henthorn vanished during a remote hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. Her husband said it was a tragic accident—a slip, a fall, a moment of bad luck. And at first, authorities believed him. But the mountains don’t keep secrets forever. As investigators retraced their steps, the story began to fracture. And a man whose past was far darker than anyone imagined. Because this wasn’t the first time one of his wives had died alone with him… in a remote place… under strange circumstances. What looked like a perfect marriage unraveled into a web of lies, control, and carefully planned death—hidden in plain sight. This is the story of a man who staged accidents… and the investigators who refused to stop asking why. This is a tale of love, deception, and a fall that was anything but accidental..Wilderness Bonescapes Outdoor Saleshttps://wildernessbonescapes.com/outdoor-stuff-on-sale.Audiblehttps://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlpencoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tl.Amazon Music Unlimitedhttps://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl...Sources:1. https://abcnews.go.com/US/colorado-man-pushing-wife-off-cliff-exposed-decades/story?id=1184822172. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-man-sentenced-life-pushing-wife-death-cliff-n4767263. https://www.mycoloradoparks.com/national-parks/rmnp/rocky-mountain-wife-killer-harold-henthorn/4. https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2023/10/11/10th-circuit-dismisses-appeal-of-man-convicted-for-pushing-wife-off-cliff-a1446166-684f-11ee-97b0-4ff7e1b4c841/5. https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/investigation-leads-to-murder-conviction-in-the-rockies.htm6.
