Family reacts to ‘fairly mummified’ bodies found at remote campsite in Rockies

“People don’t realize how hard it is to live off the grid,” says Trevala Jara, whose two step sisters and nephew were found dead at a campsite in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado earlier this month. Police said their bodies were found in a “fairly mummified” state. Christine Vance, 41; Rebecca Vance, 42; and Rebecca’s son, who was not named because he was a minor, all used to reside in Colorado Springs before packing up to live “off the grid,” family members told the coroner.
