On December 22, 1990, Rolf Tiede nearly paid with his life when two intruders invaded his family’s remote Utah cabin, shot him in the head, doused him in gasoline, and set him and the structure ablaze.
Miraculously, despite severe injuries and the fire, Tiede crawled to a snowmobile and rode through the cold wilderness to summon help. The bizarre, horrific crime also saw the burglars opening the family’s Christmas presents before murdering his wife and mother-in-law, and abducting his two daughters.
