Description

Roughly 3 million people venture to the Appalachian Trail each year seeking beauty, wilderness, and self-discovery. But even the most avid of hikers aren't immune from danger. Over a span of 15 years, the hikers Lollie Winans, Julianne Williams, Louise Chaput, and Scott Lilly are found ruthlessly murdered on various segments of the trail. To this day, their killers evade police.

Tips regarding Julie, Lollie, or Scott can be submitted to the Richmond FBI at 804-261-1044.

Tips regarding Louise can be submitted to the New Hampshire cold case unit at 603-271-3658.
