The national parks in North Carolina attract numerous visitors each year, but they can also be treacherous if you aren't well prepared for your trip. We discuss the case of Frances Apperson, a 67-year-old who went missing after heading out for a solo hike at Linville Falls, 48-year-old Michael Hartley, who went missing in Spruce Pine on a foraging trip, Barry Hertel, who disappeared after a quick trip to a hardware store in Banner Elk, and various rescue missions in the Linville Gorge area. We'll also share the story of Justin Miller, who left his home in Bakersville in 2015 and hasn't been seen since, and Lynn Keene, who was murdered by the woman who was supposed to be keeping her safe in her home in Linville Falls in 2021.
