Three found dead at remote Rocky Mountain campsite were trying to escape society, stepsister says
The stepsister of a Colorado woman who was found dead along with her sister and teenage son at a remote Rocky Mountain campsite says the women fled into the wilderness after struggling to cope with societal changes in recent years, but they were unequipped to survive off the grid.
Exposed to several feet of snow, chills below zero and with no food found at their camp, Christine Vance, Rebecca Vance and Rebecca’s son likely died of malnutrition and hypothermia, according to the autopsies released this week. Authorities haven’t released the boy’s name.
Those reports contained another chilling detail that brought stepsister Trevala Jara to tears: The 14-year-old boy’s body was found with Jara’s favorite, blessed rosary that she gave the group before they left.
It says it was updated today, but pretty sure this is old news. My concept of time is iffy though, could be weeks old story updated, could be months old story.
I remember another story a few months ago but thought it was just a mother and son? Maybe that’s why it’s so familiar.
I searched to confirm and it's weird that so many sites posted the story again super recently with what looks like no new info (except maybe the rosary in the son's hand), but this one explicitly says they were found in July. The one you posted I didn't see any date, which was why I was not 100%.

Seems the sister didn't really care to go, but went to try to give them a better chance at surviving.
