For decades rumors persisted about a farm on the eastern plains of Colorado where transients and farm workers would head to for work and never be seen again. This farm was owned by Tom McCormick and run by him, his two sons Michael and John and the dozens of transient farm hands they recruited from Denver. The McCormicks carried a reputation of being mean and quick to anger and it wasn't until an investigation into missing trucker named Herbert Donoho in 1983 that the truth, or what small part we know of it, was uncovered about the horrors of the McCormick farm.
