A fitness enthusiast and mother of four, Michelle Vanek, 35, set out to conquer Colorado’s Mount of the Holy Cross in 2005. Straying onto the grueling Halo Ridge Route, Michelle faced fatigue, high-altitude sickness, and frigid temperatures. After splitting from her hiking partner near the peak, she vanished without a trace. Despite an exhaustive search involving hundreds of rescuers, only a boot was found—17 years later. Did Michelle succumb to the mountain’s brutal elements, or does the Holy Cross Wilderness hold darker secrets? Tune in as we unravel the mystery surrounding her disappearance.
