Following the incident, an official account issued by Murkoff described the incident as the result of a power outage which led to a “violent patient uprising” shortly after, resulting in the deaths of staff, inmates and the permanent closure of the facility. However, leaked documents, whistleblower accounts, and unverified video footage suggest a far more complex and controversial series of events. These include allegations of illegal and unethical human experimentation, systematic abuse of patients, and references to an alleged classified research program known as “Project Walrider”, though there is no official evidence of the program. Freelance investigative journalist Miles Upshur remains the only known witness of the incident, having entered the facility after the outbreak. Upshur has been declared missing since September 18, 2013 and is presumed dead. |

The Mount Massive Asylum Incident was a disaster that occurred during the night of September 17–18, 2013, at the privately owned Mount Massive Asylum for the Criminally Insane in Lake County, *Colorado*. The facility was operated by Murkoff Psychiatric Systems, a subsidiary of the Murkoff Corporation.
Following the incident, an official account issued by Murkoff described the incident as the result of a power outage which led to a “violent patient uprising” shortly after, resulting in the deaths of staff, inmates and the permanent closure of the facility. However, leaked documents, whistleblower accounts, and unverified video footage suggest a far more complex and controversial series of events. These include allegations of illegal and unethical human experimentation, systematic abuse of patients, and references to an alleged classified research program known as “Project Walrider”, though there is no official evidence of the program. Freelance investigative journalist Miles Upshur remains the only known witness of the incident, having entered the facility after the outbreak. Upshur has been declared missing since September 18, 2013 and is presumed dead.
The incident triggered lawsuits, federal investigations, and widespread conspiracy theories, and remains one of the most controversial cases of alleged corporate abuse in modern U.S. history.
