It was late fall of 2001 and Louise Chappu was looking forward to her weekend plans of hiking the white mountains with friends.

But when those plans fell through, Louise, who was eager to

return to the majestic white mountains that she'd hiked before, decided to do the

trip on her own. She arrived at the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center in New Hampshire on the afternoon of Thursday, November 15th, 2001.

Before checking into her camp lodgings for the night, she sat out on a short hike, just a little trek to stretch her legs after the car ride.

But she never returned to check in for her reservation at the lodge.

Three days later, she hadn't returned home to Quebec either.

For three days, searchers fought dangerously cold temperatures in deep snow looking for any

clues that would lead to her whereabouts.

Then, a week after Louise had set off on what was supposed to be a short hike, her body was located just 200 feet from a popular trailhead.

The White Mountains are no stranger to death and disappearance,

with some of the harshest conditions in the Northeast

and even the world.

The first death ever recorded on Mount Washington

occurred in 1849, and since then,

more than 160 people have died on the mountain.

Hikers have been killed in accidental falls or from exposure to the mountains freezing cold.

Except Louise Chappu did not freeze to death or fall from a cliff or

suffer some sort of accident. Louise Chappu was murdered and her killer has never

been found.
