Detectives investigating the mysterious death of Andrew Porter, one of the two 25-year-old hunters found dead in the Colorado wilderness, have uncovered a critical piece of evidence: his phone, which contained a chilling 10-second video recorded just moments before he died.
According to law enforcement sources, the footage — though brief — shows Porter frantically fumbling with the camera as a shadowy figure appears in the distance. Investigators say Porter can be heard whispering something under his breath before the recording abruptly cuts off.
“It’s only ten seconds, but it’s ten seconds that change everything,” a senior investigator told The Herald. “It strongly suggests Andrew Porter was aware of a threat right before his death.”
Authorities have not released the video to the public, citing the sensitivity of the case, but sources confirm experts are enhancing the audio to capture Porter’s final words.
The discovery follows a string of disturbing revelations in the case: toxic substances were found in the hunters’ food packs, strange maps in their belongings pointed to a remote location miles from their camp, and a cryptic symbol carved into a nearby tree appeared to predict their deaths. Now, Porter’s final video adds a human, haunting element to the puzzle.
For investigators, the footage is considered one of the most significant breakthroughs to date. “It’s no longer just speculation,” the source said. “Porter left behind a record of what he saw — and it may point directly to whoever was out there with them.”
