“Beyond eerie”

Mark Glazerow, who went by the trail name “Doc,” said what happened to the couple was “beyond eerie.”  Doc had spent the night at the same shelter where the murderers took place just the night before. “If the (perpetrator) would have been a day earlier, this trail would have been about my death,” He added. He also recalled how he shared the pizza with the couple the day before. They even traveled together for several hours before they separated.

Unfortunate incidents on the trail

This was not the first time that the Appalachian Trail has been the scene of criminal activities. Since opening in the 1920s, car looting, theft, injuries, and traps set up by kids have continued to take place every year. After the bodies of Molly and Jeoffrey were discovered, the total death count rose to 7 deaths on this hiking trail. When choosing to hike the Appalachian Trail, hikers understand the risks.
