Three of the passes went to Michael Bowen. “Everything worked,” Romo said. He said it was the kind of game 'an I ha ve you for dinner? an resembles famous cannibal LAKE CITY, Colo.

Only Packer emerged alive, claiming that two of the men died of natural causes. He said one of the gold seekers cannibalized the others and then charged at Packer with a hatchet. Packer killed the man in self-defense. A group of experts who excavated the site of the cannibalism last sum mer concluded that Packer mur dered the men and ate his victims. Smith learned of his uncanny re semblance to Packer earlier this year when a co-worker pointed out a pho tograph of Packer in a book on Colo rado ghost towns and mining camps. “He said, ‘You know, there’s a guy in the book that looks just like you.’ I said, ‘You must be crazy. There ain’t nobody that looks like me,” Smith recalled. After looking at the photograph, Smith said, “This guy is my twin.” Now, he is trying to learn every thing he can about Packer. “Tve been trying to do a family tree backwards to find out if I might possibly be related.” he said.
