Hi, Park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Dilya DeAmbra. The story I have for you today is about

a couple who wanted what so many of us want when we go for a hike in the woods, quality

time and a break from our busy lives. But in May of 1988, that's not what these victims

got. Instead, they found themselves face-to-face with true evil lurking in the woods. The case

takes place in Micheaux State Forest, which is in southern Pennsylvania and is home to

a stretch of the famous Appalachian Trail. Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural

Resources states the forest is over 85,000 mountainous acres of dense woods with beautiful hills,

trails and streams to explore. It's a great place for hikers who want to go off the beaten

path and really immerse themselves in nature. The two victims in this story were aiming to

do that, except it wasn't just the two of them in the forest for their weekend getaway.

There was someone else there who'd been stalking them, waiting for the right moment to strike.

And the identity of this elusive human predator might have remained a mystery forever, except

one of the women he'd gunned down in cold blood survived. This is Park Predators.

From 9 o'clock at night on Friday, May 13, 1988, two young men were driving along Shippensburg

Road just outside of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, when something on the side of the road caught

their attention. The men saw what looked like a beam of light flashing along the shoulder,

and as they got closer, they realized it was a woman with a flashlight and she looked

as shevelled, most alarming of all, she was covered in blood.

The two men immediately pulled over and let her in their car. Now that they were able to

see her up close, it became obvious to the good Samaritans that the helpless woman was

bleeding from multiple wounds to her face and neck. The young men weren't sure what

to do other than to get this woman to the nearest police station.
