In May 1996, two skilled backcountry leaders, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, entered Virginiaâs Shenandoah National Park for a week-long backcountry camping trip. The free-spirited and remarkable young couple had met and fallen in love the previous summer while working at a world-renowned outdoor program for women. During their final days in the park, they descended the narrow remnants of a trail and pitched their tent in a hidden spot. After the pair didnât return home as planned, park rangers found a scene of horror at their campsite, their tent slashed open, their beloved dog missing, and both women dead in their sleeping bags. The unsolved murders of Winans and Williams continue to haunt all who had encountered them or knew their story.
When award-winning journalist and outdoors expert Kathryn Miles begins looking into the case, she discovers conflicting evidence, mismatched timelines, and details that just donât add up. With unprecedented access to crucial crime-scene forensics and key witnessesâand with a growing sense of both mission and obsessionâshe begins to uncover the truth. An innocent man, Miles is convinced, has been under suspicion for decades, while the true culprit is a known serial killer, if only authorities would take a closer look.
Intimate, page-turning, and brilliantly reported, Trailed is a love story and a call to justiceâand a searching and urgent plea to make wilderness a safe space for womenâdestined to become a true crime classic. - Workman Press.
â?A beautifully written account of a great American tragedyâthe unsolved murders of an undetermined number of young women, all by the same serial killer, who got away. The truth is still buried. I couldnât put it down.â
