About this episode

When Shari Lynn Roth left her apartment in North Conway, New Hampshire for a short afternoon hike to one of her favorite spots among the White Mountain National Forest, what should’ve been a peaceful retreat turned into a fateful encounter with a still unknown predator. 

Several theories have been floated since that August afternoon in 1977, but none have proven to be the truth about what happened more than four decades ago.
