In May 1996, two women - Julie Williams and Lollie Winans - set out on a backcountry camping trip in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. What began as a five-day escape into the wild became one of the most haunting crimes in National Park history.
But before the tragedy, there was their story: two women who found love, freedom, and belonging in the wilderness. From their first meeting, to the drive that carried them deep into the mountains, they were chasing peace. Unaware of what waited in the quiet.
Episode One retraces their final days of safety and joy. Before the silence of the woods was broken forever.
