A killer walked the Appalachian Trail for years. Nobody knew his name until it was too late.
The Appalachian Mountains stretch over 2,000 miles of wilderness. Every year, people vanish inside them. Some are found. Some are not. And some of what waits in those forests is not the terrain, not the weather but something far more deliberate.
Three true stories. A man named Randall Lee Smith who stalked and attacked hikers on the Appalachian Trail and was never truly stopped. A 6-year-old boy named Dennis Martin who disappeared on a clear afternoon in the Great Smoky Mountains in 1969 and was never found. And a woman named Meredith Emerson, who drove to Blood Mountain trailhead on New Year’s Day 2008 and was abducted by convicted serial killer Gary Hilton before her dog made it back to the parking lot alone.
Some places don’t let you leave the same way you came in.
