Left Behind on Austria’s Highest Mountain: The Grossglockner Case
About this episode
The episode explores the case of Kerstin Gurtner, who was left alone on Austria's Grossglockner mountain and the subsequent legal implications of her boyfriend's decisions.
When Kerstin Gurtner followed her boyfriend up Austria’s highest mountain, she trusted him to lead her safely through the storm. Hours later, she was left alone in the freezing dark—164 feet from the summit—and a court would be forced to decide whether his choices were tragic mistakes or a crime.
