There's a tree that on one side, the branches had been kind of knocked off or broken off. I called the impact tree. You can see that was in a place where I imagine Toni probably impacted as she fell to the ground. There were small things that didn't totally add up. There's an obscure area, not a place where I would expect your average hiker to just happen across because it was just so steep.

I noticed there was a shoe that was there, an untied boot. Usually, in the course of a fall, shoes tend not to untie themselves.

And there was a really key piece of evidence. Tony's camera was destroyed, but the SD card was still intact. We were able to look at the photos, and these pictures are very important to us, because these are the last moments of Tony Henthorne's life.

The pictures were extremely important to the investigation in terms of building a footprint of what they did that day. So this is them in front of the Stanley, which is a big hotel in Estes Park the night before. The next morning, they had breakfast, and then they went and picked up some sandwiches. But you can see Tony's in the car. She's got her lipstick on. She's looking happy.

This photo is them at what we've dubbed the lunch spot. We know that they had lunch there. It's a very key spot to the investigation. What Harold had told Mark was they hiked up till the trail plateaued. They wanted to get off the trail for some privacy. When we recreated their steps, there's no trail where Tony and Harold had lunch. It's not cleared in any way, and it's pretty difficult hiking.

And there's a photo of Tony and Harold sitting right where I'm standing. The lunch spot is a very beautiful spot, and there's really no reason to go any further, however they go further.
