The Meredith Emerson case/search new developments make me very sad. I wonder what other hikers are feeling.
The worst part other than the likelihood that she will not be found alive, to me at lease, is that she did all the things that girl hikers are supposed to do when they hike alone. She knew martial arts. She took her dog (a decent size animal) with her on her hike. She chose a popular "busy" trail.
The only thing that makes this have any sort of positive to it is that they suspect this guy could possibly be a sort of hiker serial killer.
(killer with a yellow jacket) And if the blood comes back as hers off the "cut seat belt" they found in the trash he wont be able to wiggle any sympathy.
