Abandoning human civilization for a life of adventure in the mountains is a fascination for many, but for one Colorado Springs family the dangers of living off the grid were made brutally apparent. Last week, the remains of Rebecca “Becky” Vance, 42, her sister Christine Vance, 41, and Becky’s 14-year-old were found at a remote campsite a year after setting off for a new life in the Rocky Mountains.
“I’d had a feeling around March that something had happened to them and wanted to go to the mountains to see if they were up there,” Becky and Christine’s stepsister Trevala Jara, 39, said. “But those mountains are huge. Where would you start?”
