some start to question whether he's telling the truth.
And it's not just that he came back looking plumper than people expected or that he was flush with cash.
It's also the fact that he was younger and fitter than many of his companions and supposedly more knowledgeable of the mountains.
So how is it that he was too weak to keep up and didn't know how to avoid something as preventable as snow blindness?
And if he really was such a liability to the group, how come he's the only one who made it back?
After a while, a theory starts to develop that maybe Alfred is actually the reason the others didn't make it.
Maybe he lured them into the mountains intentionally, knowing he'd have the upper hand.
Maybe his plan was to rob them all along.
It's just a rumor, but it changes everything for Alfred.
He's brought in for a more official interrogation, and suddenly his story changes.
He says he wasn't actually left behind.
After his group ran out of food, things got dire.
They were starving, freezing, buried in snow, and slowly, one by one, they started to die.
the oldest went first from hunger and exposure and given the severity of their situation they made the choice not to waste his body a decision they didn't take lightly they needed food needed calories the way they saw it it was their only chance of survival and maybe from death there could be life
Another member of their group died from hunger and exposure as well.
A third, Alfred says, was accidentally killed.
What that means, I don't know.
But he says each time they ate the dead and left the remains right where they were, their bodies scattered along the routes miles apart from one another.
last two alive were alfred and a man named shannon bell and that's when things took an unexpected turn bell tried to kill alfred during the attack alfred got a hold of his gun and shot bell in self-defense and well alfred continued on with the trend he reluctantly ate bell to survive
Now, that is a messed up story, but if Alfred is telling the truth, can you blame him for any of it?
