Sheriffs investigate YouTuber's claims of desert 'crime scene'. Watch the video.

Did a Hiker Accidentally Stumble Upon a Serial Killer's Gruesome Crime Scene in the Colorado Desert? That's the chilling question on everyone's mind after a man's viral videos showed what appears to be numerous discarded high-heeled shoes scattered across a remote desert landscape. When Levi Comstock was off-roading in western Colorado, he could never have imagined the creepy scene he was about to encounter - at least ten pairs of high heels carelessly left behind, prompting fears a serial killer was using the desolate area as a personal dumping ground for victims.

Comstock captured footage of the eerie discovery, with shoes of various styles and colors strewn about the desert floor as far as the eye could see. The videos immediately exploded across social media, racking up millions of views as true crime obsessives speculated whether the Colorado man had inadvertently uncovered a serial killer's sinister crime scene. Could these abandoned high heels have belonged to potential victims who met a grisly demise?  

As the views soared, so did calls for authorities to thoroughly investigate the bizarre scene. Comstock claimed he initially alerted the Mesa County Sheriff's Office about his discovery but said they brushed it off as likely "nothing" at first. However, as the videos went massively viral, police stated they were now probing the strange desert scene littered with discarded high heels.  

The story transfixed the internet, sparking both morbid fascination and dread over the possibility of an active serial killer operating in this desolate region of the Colorado desert. Investigators' ultimate findings, however, revealed this particular crime scene theory didn't hold up - but that didn't make Comstock's original discovery any less unsettling.

In his videos posted to YouTube over the weekend, Comstock provides a walkthrough of the bizarre scene he happened upon while four-wheeling through the remote western Colorado desert area. "I could not believe the scene I had just pulled up on," he says in the footage, questioning how so many shoes could have ended up strewn so far apart from each other in the middle of nowhere.  

"As you guys know, I love going out in the desert and just exploring," Comstock states, describing his shock at first thinking he had discovered lost personal belongings or a vehicle crash site. Upon closer inspection, however, all he could find were at least 10 pairs of high-heeled shoes of various styles and colors scattered in the desert for what seemed like no explicable reason.

The video instantly went viral as viewers ominously theorized Comstock had accidentally uncovered something far more nefarious - a deranged serial killer's dumping ground for bodies and personal effects of potential victims. In a follow-up upload days later, Comstock revealed police were now taking a second look at the strange desert scene due to immense public interest.

"This has been reported to the police, and now they are investigating this," Comstock stated, thanking everyone who raised awareness about the unsettling discovery. "I've never really encountered something like this before; it's just unique...Obviously, my brain thinks that this is very creepy."  

However, Mesa County authorities swiftly shut down serial killer speculation, claiming the high heels and other miscellaneous items like shirts were simply litter from common illegal dumping in the area - not evidence of any criminal activity.  

"Each time our deputies and investigators responded, the items appeared to be trash and illegal dumping, which is very common in the desert areas here," Mesa County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Wendy Likes told Newsweek. "We also do not have multiple reports of missing females in Mesa County. If we receive further reports, we will respond and investigate as we do with every report of possible criminal activity."

In his second video exploring the desolate crime scene, Comstock and a small group scoured the area, believing they may have found human remains wrapped in a bag. But their hopes of uncovering something more sensational were soon dashed when the bag contained only rocks and a discarded t-shirt.  

While Comstock admitted being "bummed" his search yielded nothing more than typical desert trash and the creepily discarded high heels, he expressed gratitude for viewers who pushed authorities to take a harder look into the strange scene.

"I know I said in the original video that the cops didn't seem too concerned, but after this many people chimed in, it seems like they're actually going out there and checking it out more," he stated in the follow-up footage. "Obviously, my brain thinks that this is very creepy."  

Even though this particular case amounted to nothing more than careless littering in a remote area, the viral videos highlight the intrigue and concern surrounding unexplained mysteries - especially those appearing to possibly involve disturbing criminal acts. While it is disappointing not to uncover any actual crime, stories like Comstock's compel investigators to look closer and make the public wonder about even the most seemingly innocuous discoveries.  

The prospect of an active serial killer operating undetected always incites a chilling dread in communities, perhaps explaining the transfixed interest in the YouTuber's videos and initial theories about the discarded high heels in the Colorado desert. Though this turned out to be a relatively benign case of illegal dumping, the resolve to never dismiss potential evidence of criminality remains.
