Dark Side of the Mountain // Episodes 882-883 /// True Crime Garage. | Forensic Files

Two men, each possibly grappling with his own version of a midlife crisis, vanish 10 months apart from the same
tiny town in the Colorado Rockies under eerily similar circumstances. The odds of this happening seem frankly
astronomical. Yet, in September of 1987, a solitary 47-year-old man and his faithful dog vanished from the near
ghost town of Silver Plume, Colorado, a once-booming silver hub a century earlier.
Months later, in August of 1988, another man, staring down the barrel of 50 years of age,
retraced the missing man's steps to investigate the mystery. He, too, disappeared.
Naturally, both disappearances had a profound and lasting impact upon the close-knit community of fewer than 200
residents. In a place where practically everyone knew one another, it isn't difficult to
imagine the shock and grief that resulted when one of their own vanished without a trace or turned up dead.
This is the true crime story of Tom Young, who went missing on the dark side of the mountain,
and two, the story of Keith Reinhard, who may have vanished forever. This is True Crime Garage.
