No.
The question of who dumped more than 10 pairs of women’s shoes in a remote part of the Book Cliffs recreation area remains unanswered, but police don’t think a serial killer left them behind.
Levi Comstock, an avid explorer of the mountainous desert region straddling Colorado and Utah, made the claim in a recent YouTube video after stumbling upon several pairs of differently sized women’s shoes at a pond within the grounds.
Investigators and Mesa County Sheriff’s Office deputies went out to the site multiple times to investigate. They concluded that the items were the result of illegal trash dumping, which they called “very common in the desert areas.”
A sheriff’s spokesperson added that the shoes didn’t correspond with multiple reports of missing women in Mesa County.
