EP299: The Gunnison Mystery

About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of champion wrestler Dammion Heard in Gunnison, Colorado, and the ensuing investigation filled with conflicting accounts.

In the spring of 2014, a champion wrestler from Texas arrived in the isolated mountain town of Gunnison, Colorado, carrying the kind of confidence that made people gravitate toward him. Dammion Heard was charismatic, impulsive, fiercely competitive, and only beginning to build the life he imagined for himself at Western State Colorado University. But after a chaotic night involving parties, rivalries, fractured relationships, and conflicting accounts from the people around him, Dammion suddenly vanished into the cold darkness of the Rockies. What followed would divide investigators, devastate a family, and leave behind a case filled with disputed timelines, unsettling witness statements, and questions that still refuse to disappear more than a decade later.
