Trailed : one woman's quest to solve the Shenandoah murders
(Audiobook CD)

Read by Gabra Zackman.

"A riveting deep dive into the unsolved murder of two free-spirited young women in the wilderness, a journalist's obsession and a new theory of who might have done it. In May 1996, Julie Williams and Lollie Winans were brutally murdered while backpacking in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park adjacent to the world-famous Appalachian Trail. The young women were skilled backcountry leaders and they had met, and fallen in love, the previous summer while working at a world-renowned outdoor program for women. But despite an extensive joint investigation by the FBI, the Virginia police and National Park Service experts, the case remained unsolved for years. In early 2002 and in response to mounting political pressure, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft announced that he would be seeking the death penalty against Darrell David Rice, already in prison for assaulting another woman, in the first capital case tried under new, post 9/11 federal hate crime legislation. But two years later, the Department of Justice quietly suspended its case against Rice, and the investigation has since grown cold. Did prosecutors have the right person?"--,Provided by publisher.
