Lost Trails: The Breckenridge Killings and Australia’s Backpacker Butcher

Inside the chilling murders of two women in a Colorado ski town—and the horrifying trail of bodies left behind by Australia’s most notorious backpacker killer.
1

In this gripping episode, we dive into two chilling cases that shocked two continents.

First, we head to the snowy town of Breckenridge, Colorado, where in 1982, two young women vanished on the same day—only to be found murdered days later in a remote mountain area. With no clear suspect and decades of dead ends, their case remains one of Colorado’s most haunting crimes.

Then, we travel across the globe to the harsh Australian bush, where a string of missing backpackers led authorities to uncover a nightmare beyond imagination. Ivan Milat—now known as the Backpacker Killer—was responsible for a series of brutal murders that left a nation horrified and made people reconsider backpacking in the Australian wilderness.

Two different settings. Two terrifying stories. One theme: the horror that can lurk in the most unexpected places.
