As we reopen the dusty files of the past, we're not just revisiting cold cases; we're reigniting the flame of justice. Welcome to the new season of our podcast, where we peel back the veneer of nature's beauty to reveal the grim reality of true crime. Today, we grapple with the harrowing events of Julie and Lollie's fateful camping trip in Shenandoah National Park—a chilling reminder of the dangers that can hide in plain sight. Amid our personal anecdotes, including Caroline's recent adventures and my own strides in the literary world, we prepare you to face the darkness that might be lurking around your next campfire.

Venturing beyond mere storytelling, we scrutinize the unsolved mysteries that haunt America's great outdoors. This season's grim tapestry weaves together the narratives of victims, the tireless efforts of park rangers, and the sinister ideologies of those who tread where they're not welcome. With respect and safety hanging in the balance, we dissect the undercurrents of gender, homophobia, and possibly racism that permeate these crimes. Our reflection on a 1996 national park murder underscores the enduring relevance of societal issues that continue to challenge our communal resolve.
