Is There Really an Area of the U.S. Where You Can Legally Get Away With Murder?

One of the crown jewels of the American National Park system, Yellowstone spans nearly 9,000 square kilometres of northwestern Wyoming – an area of breathtakingly beautiful landscapes including mountains, canyons, lakes, rivers, and geothermal springs. Created by the American government in 1872, Yellowstone contains some of the popular and beloved natural attractions in the United States, such as the Grand Prismatic Spring and the Old Faithful geyser, and is visited by nearly 2 million tourists every year. But for all its natural beauty, Yellowstone can be a dangerous place, from the scalding waters of its thermal pools to its wildlife – particularly its resident population of black and grizzly bears. But the park’s greatest danger may not be natural but rather legal, for on the western edge of Yellowstone lies a 128-square-kilometre zone where, thanks to a combination of poorly-drawn boundaries and a constitutional loophole, one could theoretically commit any crime and get away with it scot-free. This is the strange story of the Yellowstone Zone of Death.
