The Civil Defense Caves, are a historical site with a dark secret. These massive lava tubes offer a glimpse into the Cold War era, serving as potential storage facilities, bomb shelters, and even military prisons. Despite their chilling temperature, the caves are relatively easy to navigate and offer a unique experience for explorers of all levels. While exploring the caves, we uncover the chilling tale of a headless corpse discovered within their depths in 1979. This unsolved mystery has captivated investigators for decades, adding an extra layer of intrigue to our adventure.

Dave so right now we're in Rexburg Idaho
and we're going to two cave systems
civil defense caves and Ice Caves I'm
going to look at the camera and not
drive okay perfect you be my eyes watch
out the breaks don't work very well you
doing all right back so
far hopefully we'll be alive
all right
[Music]
[Music]
Now Dave thinks he's a pro but if you
saw what he did the other day when we
stopped at the drive-thru he would know
he wasn't hey that was a pro move the
drive-thru was moving too
slow is this the way to the
Cav it's going to be like nope this is
where I kick you out oh do we walk from
here
[Music]
no not going to make it
[Music]
[Music]
there we
go this is not the way to but this is
where I F my intro for YouTube okay so
we had to use four real de here whoa God
damn got to use four whe right now
[Music]
holy you feel a temperature difference
immediately oh there's one of those
swallows or
Swifts I feels good though it's the 90s
today you know yeah it's contrast it's
hot out so it definitely feels nice in
here so this is the civil defense cave
which was
also used or was going to be used if
there was a nuclear fallout and
apparently Dave was saying that the cave
goes back and well a long long long way
yeah but
also he was also telling us they found
some remains of material and they kept
on digging then they found some human
remains and
apparently it was the body of a an
outlaw who had committed loads of crimes
back in the day Outlaw and murderer
Joseph Henry
Loveless was murdered and his body
dumped in this cave in
1916 he was aged 46
his torso was found wrapped in a burlap
sack in
1979 and his arms were found by a little
girl in
1991 the head is still
missing true story well shall we go down
there and see how far this section goes
maybe we can find yes let maybe we can
find another
Outlaw okay the way down is going to be
a I think over here looks like the
safest
route oh it looks like it just it uh it
Peters out is
out just here actually it's not very big
at
all and this was where the body was
found
all right so Dave's leading the way
we're getting ready to head on over
there taking our time rocks are
slick having
a kind of flashbacks of the lava tube
and pepper sauce cave pepper sauce
cave which that one was super cool
cave still one of my favorites oh yeah
we can check check the video out out on
that one yeah very slippery slippery and
sharp sharp Jagged
rocks really
really slippery ow and sharp s slippery
sharp my goodness temperature I can
actually see my breath which
is feels nice
actually oh Dave being all cocky and
climbing over that way so how far did
you say these go back two to three
miles does it today
really
wow I don't think we'll be uh venturing
the whole 3 miles or 2 miles
any cool stuff
left there's a look back we haven't come
in that
far it's just uh taking a little while
to clamber over those rocks and stuff
and now we're back to this looks a lot
like those Lava Tubes we explored
now the ground way I think isn't is this
a lava tube it's a lava tube it is a
lava tube it has to I mean look at the
uh the bottom what we're treading on and
look at how tall it is it's
big the
paint kind of takes away the mystery of
it
all yeah cuz then it's it just kind of
shows you you are close to humanity
where sometimes these places that
they're so far out that I mean that
there's that one guy that that lost his
life in here it makes you wonder whether
or not there was anybody else and
whether or not this place is actually
haunted you could see all the the
humidity in here oh okay lights off
right let's do lights off one 2
3 oo spooky that's pretty neat looking
actually you can see the looks like a
mist or a ha turn around to just turn
around to go the way we're going into
the pitch h no black absolute void
what is
that I think we finally seen our first
shadow person Andrea don't freak out but
I think there's a ghost next to
you do they look a lot like me well it
it's moving I can't get keeps moving
it's all over the place it's moving
okay firstly
smell can you smell the paint fresh
spray paint this fresh spray paint yeah
but what I was going to say was you look
at these rocks and they've obviously
come down but it it's like where have
they come
from yeah some of we could see that
where it's kind of peeling away oh look
up there actually that looks like that
might come down well that will come down
eventually and there's a drip and then
it does look like this one right here
that perfect this one yeah that like
rectangular
shape PR you're right some of these that
are oh wow oddly
shaped American flag there we
go oh and wow look at this crack
here you see it yeah goes right right
right down yeah it's like that lava tube
it just kept going and
going it's getting there narrower hang
on mind your head yeah it's getting kind
of tight down here
oh it's getting a bit
uh you can really see where like the
lava has flowed
oh wow we're quite high up
oops so finally and it opens up into a
room we've come to the end kind
of I suppose you could
somewhat squeeze in there
but as Dave pointed out there's no more
graffiti
so so much trash here too oh know all
the
dark pieces of pens
lighters yeah there junk
everywhere you
know oh I'm not going to say it it I
know I get so peed off with people
leaving rubbish everywhere and
graffitiing
mhm but what an amazing natural
wonder but I'm just just
