Trailed

In May 1996, two experienced backcountry leaders, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, embarked on a camping trip in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. When they failed to return, rangers discovered a scene of violence at their campsite, with both women found dead. Despite an extensive investigation, the case remained unsolved for decades, leaving a haunting legacy.

Journalist and outdoors expert Kathryn Miles delves into this cold case, gaining access to crucial crime-scene forensics and key witnesses. Her investigation uncovers conflicting evidence and mismatched timelines, leading her to believe an innocent man was wrongly suspected for years while the true culprit, potentially a serial killer, remained at large. "Trailed" offers a deep examination of the challenges of wilderness forensics, the failures within the justice system, and the pervasive issue of safety for women in natural spaces, ultimately presenting a new perspective on this enduring mystery.
