Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Dillia Diembra.

And the case I'm going to share with you today is a story of murder, but it's also a story of survival.

pavilion, a number of trails, art displays, historic markers, and picnic areas.

There are some piers which stretch out over the Tennessee River, and it was on one of those

piers that the unthinkable happened to Sean and Kathy Hardy, something that to this day
