The Hike That Terrorized Micah Smith's Children | Profiling Evil

from Profiling Evil

A Utah father, Micah Smith, took his three young children on what prosecutors now call a “not well planned,” “ill-prepared,” and “extremely dangerous” hike into Big Cottonwood Canyon. Hours later, two children are unconscious from hypothermia, one appears dead when rescuers arrive, and the story Micah Smith tells doesn’t match what investigators later uncover. According to the indictment, Micah Smith pushed toward the top of Broads Fork despite rain, fog, wind, and kids who repeatedly begged to go home, and he taught his 8-year-old daughter CPR because he knew help was too far away. Let’s examine the route, the behavior, the marital strains, the mental-health indicators, the previous suicide-related police encounter, and the troubling allegations prosecutors are laying out against Micah Smith.#MicahSmith #BigCottonwoodCanyon #BroadsForkTrail #SaltLakeCounty #UtahCrime #ChildTorture #ChildAbuse #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #MappingEvil #GIS #Esri #CourtTV #WasatchMountains #SearchAndRescue #Parenting #MentalHealth #DomesticStrain The Hike That Terrorized Micah Smith's Children | Profiling Evil=======================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
