11. Homicide on the AT (Appalachian Trail, Virginia)

When a hiker’s remains are found in a shallow grave along the Appalachian Trail, an investigation immediately begins. Despite the FBI getting involved, a reward, and more than 80 interviews of other hikers, his murder went unsolved. Eight years later another hiker vanished from just a couple of miles from where the previous body was found. He was missing for a year before his remains were found. Who murdered both of these men? Is geography the only connecting factor in their cases or could something more sinister be going on in this area?Those with information on Scott (Stonewall) Lilly are urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-225-5324 (1-800-CALL-FBI) and choose Option 4.Those with information about Chad Austin are encouraged to call the Virginia State Police at (540) 375-9589 or contact us by email at [email protected]:https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/true-crime-in-the-outdoors/scott-lillyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian_Trailhttps://appalachiantrailnoir.wordpress.com/2014/12/26/the-death-of-scott-lilly/https://www.palmerfuneralhomes.com/notices/Scott-Lillyhttps://hikeitforward.wordpress.com/2016/02/24/who-was-scott-lilly/https://wset.com/news/local/multiple-law-enforcement-agencies-searching-for-missing-manhttps://www.whsv.com/content/news/Family-organizes-search-party-for-missing-Buena-Vista-man-510760721.html?fbclid=IwAR0PxtUfH9n-ZSkbfAnjhCdRoyw13RkRd5fyMGN7dR8OuoFhlMJyu-innbUhttps://www.wdbj7.com/content/news/Open-Case-Virginia-Buena-Vista-couple-anxious-for-answers-nine-months-after-sons-disappearance-568542231.htmlhttps://www.wsls.com/news/local/2020/05/18/remains-of-missing-buena-vista-man-found-after-nearly-a-year-of-searching/?fbclid=IwAR2Ik9MqkBTJkHd2A9rHO6o6aym5Lqxna422aLfCJ9tTZhJDcpTZAQRgpDoSupport the showJoin our Patreon for bonus content!
