Court TV has a new series that involves psychics trying to solve crimes. The first one last night involved the murder of two AT hikers by the names of Julie and Lollie. It happened in the Shenandoah Park and I’m not sure if it was actually on the AT…looked like a side trail to me.
Anyone see it last night or have any info on the case?

I recall they arrested a derranged local man for those murders. I think he was also responsbile for assaulting other women in the Shenadoah area.

I saw the same show the other night as well. I found the psychics to be lame and hokey. What happened to those two girls was horrible. If the derranged homosexual-hating, bible-thumping wacko is found guilty then I’m sure justice will prevail. He would be responsible for a double-homocide within a national park, not to mention it being a hate crime. Also, not to mention he tried to kill another female later on.

After doing a quick google search I found out the murders occured in 1996. There was an indictment in 2002 but charges were dropped in 2004. He has apparently been indicted for a different crime though.
This case reminds me of “Eight Bullets” where a woman tells her story of being attacked by a man who killed her lover and shot her four times. She managed to walk out and get help. This happened in 1988 in Pine Grove Furnace State Park.

We’ve been discussing this show on Whiteblaze, and the PATC Trails Forum. It’s pretty unanimous that this show was as phony as one of Miss Cleo’s 900 numbers.
The alleged psychics couldn’t even agree on their conclusions about who committed the crime. How convenient. And every single “revelation” they divined on-air has been reported in the media, but the producers expect us to believe the narrator when he claims details of the crime were not shared in advance with the actors, er, gifted psychics.
The producers couldn’t even get a basic fact right. The episode was titled “Appalachian Trail.” It happened between a half-mile and a mile away from the AT down a then-abandoned horse trail that does not even connect to the AT.
Pretty shoddy work. I can’t believe I wasted 30 minutes of my life watching this trash.

Come to think of it, not only weren’t they good “psychics,” they weren’t even good actors. Worthy of a 7th grade school play. maybe.

They don’t need to have evidence to put a show on TV. They just need something to scare people or piss them off. If they can get any type of emotional response including disgust despair or anger, hollywood calls it a success.
