Did Keith die in an accident on the mountain? Did he trip and fall coming down in the dark? Did he tumble into an old mine shaft? Was he attacked by a wild animal? Did he go off to meet someone and was murdered in secret? Or was he never even on the mountain in the first place?

Nearly thirty years have passed since Keith Reinhard walked away from Silver Plume, Colorado. He still hasn’t come back.

Unwittingly or not, Reinhard left behind a tangled series of questions that has given birth to a story of legend in the tiny mountain town of Silver Plume. Sorting through the known facts and theories, each boil down to three central topics: mountain, murder, and Mexico.

At 5 PM on August 7, 1988, Keith Reinhard closed up his shop for the day, telling friends that he was hiking to the summit of nearby Pendleton Mountain - a hike Keith knew would take at least six hours. He never returned.
