ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Randall Lee Smith was convicted of killing Robert Mountford Jr. and Susan Ramsay, two Virginia social workers hiking the Appalachian Trail in support of a charity. Both were brutally murdered. Randall, familiar with the area, was arrested and convicted of the brutal death of the two hikers. After serving 15 years of a 30-year sentence, Smith was released on parole in 1996, causing concern among the public. Randall returned to the trail years later, where he attempted to kill two fishermen, Scott Johnston, 38, and Sean Farmer, 33. Despite being shot and left for dead, the men survived. After a high-speed chase following the 2008 attack, Smith crashed his vehicle and later died in custody.
