That's the thought I return to after all these years . . .\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In May 1996, two skilled backcountry leaders, Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, entered Virginia's Shenandoah National Park for a week-long backcountry camping trip. The free-spirited and remarkable young couple had met and fallen in love the previous summer while working at a world-renowned outdoor program for women. During their final days in the park, they descended the narrow remnants of a trail and pitched their tent in a hidden spot. After the pair didn't return home as planned, park rangers found a scene of horror at their campsite, their tent slashed open, their beloved dog missing, and both women dead in their sleeping bags. The unsolved murders of Winans and Williams haunt all who had encountered them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When award-winning journalist and outdoors expert Kathryn Miles begins looking into the case, she discovers conflicting evidence, mismatched timelines, and details that just don't add up. With unprecedented access to crucial crime-scene forensics and key witnesses--and with a growing sense of both mission and obsession--she begins to uncover the truth. An innocent man, Miles is convinced, had been under suspicion for decades, while the true culprit was still unknown serial killer, if only authorities would have taken a closer look sooner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Intimate, page-turning, and brilliantly reported, \u003ci\u003eTrailed\u003c\/i\u003e is a love story and a call to justice--and a searching and urgent plea to make wilderness a safe space for women--destined to become a true crime classic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Miles\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five books\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eHer essays and articles have appeared in publications including \u003ci\u003eAudubon, Best American Essays, Best American Sports Writing, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, Outside, Politico, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTime. \u003c\/i\u003eA contributing editor at \u003ci\u003eDown East \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, Miles also serves as a scholar-in-residence for the Maine Humanities Council and as a faculty member in several MFA programs.
