S5 Ep47: Seven Went Up. One Came Down. The Khamar Daban Incident

About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious Khamar Daban incident where only one of seven hikers returned from a trip in Siberia.

In August of 1993, six experienced young hikers and their extremely experienced guide went up into the mountains of Siberia. About a week later, only one of them returned, bloodied and traumatized. Her story would change over the years and spark decades of debate as to what actually happened to the rest of her group.
