A deadly flood, an unlikely rescue, and a fatal bear attack
This episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast covers three topics that are inherently disturbing. Because of that, listener discretion is advised. The first topic takes a look at why it's so difficult to get an accurate death toll for the Great Pueblo Flood of 1921. The second story covers an unlikely rescue that may have saved a killer. In the third portion of this podcast, we cover the story of a woman that is believed to have been feeding bears from her mountain town home and how that led to tragedy.
