When exactly did they separate and come back together? When did each of them come across Cooper's body and what state was it in? And how exactly did Zeller leave things with Johnson? Like I said before, some of this can definitely be chalked up to the mind scrambling effects of high altitude. But there are a few hints that Zeller and McMillan might have known more than they shared publicly.

You'll remember that Carmi Defoe, the man who organized the trip, downplayed the group's recollections to the U.S. State Department. But then after Defoe returned to the States, he helped organize a secret meeting of his climbing club and summoned McMillan and Zeller to it. The goal of the gathering was to, quote, learn the straight of things.

The meeting resulted in a timeline that went into the climbing club records and seems to have informed Zeller and McMillan's later interviews. It ends with the conclusion that Cooper and Johnson probably died from complications from altitude sickness, which we now know they did not.

There was also a curious letter from Lauren McIntyre, one of the people who recovered Cooper's remains to Cooper's widow. He encouraged her to get in touch with Zeller and McMillan because he suspected that the men may have adjusted the truth to make it easier for their consciences to deal with. Then there's the physical evidence on the two survivors.

Both Zeller and McMillan reported falling during their descent, but neither man had the broken bones, scrapes, or bruises experts expect to see from a fall. McMillan only received a black eye, and Zeller cut up his face and broke his sunglasses. Naturally, that's led to speculation about Zeller and McMillan's actions on the mountain. Why they survived and Cooper and Johnson did not.

To be clear, they were never suspected killers. But let's talk about how whatever might have happened between the climbers could still fall under the umbrella of accidental deaths. It's not clear if McMillan was feeling the physical effects of the altitude, but Zeller, Cooper, and Johnson all had bodily symptoms at some point during their summit attempt.

In addition to all those symptoms, advanced altitude sickness can also cause unpredictable changes in mental status. We also know that Zeller and McMillan experienced psychological symptoms, visual and auditory hallucinations. Back in the 70s, experts attributed these wild psychological experiences to altitude sickness.
