Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Delia Diambra. And the case I'm going to tell you about today

takes place in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve in British Columbia, Canada. This is an area of the

Canadian coast that's fairly difficult to get to. Radar Beach Trail, which leads to where this crime

occurred, isn't marked well and is known for being steep and

oftentimes muddy. Some visitors find themselves having to crawl or climb over fallen trees

just to access the beach. And really I should be saying beaches, plural, because something that's

unique about this landscape is there isn't just one beach, there are several. And the further you walk, the more you find.

Some are flat sand, others are home to huge rock outcroppings, and a few even butt up against

small channels of water. And trust me, all the hard work that's required to get down there

isn't without a reward, because the views are stunning. In June

1972 though, a terrible crime marred this region's beauty in an unforgettable way. The

investigation that unfolded in the years following was full of ups and downs and ended in

an unforeseen twist nearly 2,000 miles away from the original crime scene,

which caused many people to wonder just how far would a human predator go to try and cover up his crimes,

and how many other murders was he willing to commit?

This is Park Predators.

trees about 200 yards from the beach. The structure was a lean-to style shelter and looked like it

had been assembled recently. But the guy didn't see anyone coming or going from it, which to him

probably felt a bit unusual, but not necessarily alarming. Seeing a shelter in the bush like that at that time wasn't strange, because Radar Beach is a
