In 1996, the peace of Shenandoah National Park was shattered by a gruesome discovery: the bodies of Lollie Winans and Julie Williams, two young, adventurous women with serious outdoor skills, were found brutally murdered near their campsite. They weren’t just victims—they were fearless, badass trailblazers who felt at home in the wild. As the investigation unfolded, it exposed more than just a killer. It revealed a deeper darkness: a culture of hate, fear, and prejudice, and more than one predator lurking in the shadows. But this story doesn’t end in silence—it ends in karma, long overdue and fiercely deserved.
