There's also the specific trauma to Johnson and Cooper's faces and heads.

Cooper also had that abdominal wound, a small hole reaching nearly to his spine, not your standard fall injury. Daniel Araujo, who assisted in both Johnson and Cooper's autopsies, doesn't think the wound in Cooper's abdomen could have been formed by an ax. He remembers that the hole was remarkably deep, round, and symmetrical. According to Araujo, an ax handle would leave a square mark.

The medical examiner and their team, including Araujo, believe that Cooper and Johnson's head injuries were the result of blunt force trauma. They were killed. So let's take a closer look at that idea.

Witnesses remember that Cooper was in charge of handling money for the whole group. Reportedly, he carried a backpack full of cash that has never been recovered.

Maybe a greedy and very dedicated thief followed the party up the mountain to rob Cooper. Another rumor circulated that there was some kind of romance between Cooper and Johnson. Maybe they fought and killed each other, or some jealous third party intervened.

Shortly after meeting her, Cooper wrote in his journal, quote, Janet sure is weird. It's impossible to completely dismiss the possibility of a third party, but it feels pretty far-fetched.

It's hard to imagine anyone pulling that off. It would have been a lot easier for someone who was already with the group. Zeller and McMillan aren't clear-cut suspects. There's really not a viable motive for them to kill Cooper or Johnson, but their explanation of what happened doesn't totally add up. There are many inconsistencies in their stories.
