Woodland Park is a city located just a 20 minute drive up the Ute Pass from the picturesque Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. The convenient mountain enclave is known as The City Above the Clouds and is the perfect location for those who love to be in the great outdoors. In 1992, the city would be rocked by a shocking double murder, a double murder that would be discovered when a teenage boy came into school to confess to his role.
