Anybody know anything about South Mt. PA? Some hicks picked up two of my friends who were hitch hiking off of the Appaplachian Trail for the winter. They tried to poison them and hunted my one of them through the woods. Local cops didn't believe them/ swept it under the rug, so we're trying to get ahold of the county DA. They've already contacted local rangers and trail personnel. Supposedly a hiker got burned to death by a group of people right around there over the summer.

My friends are kind of wild trail people, so they don't seem like the most credible people if they're talking to a suit, but if there was a pattern of things happening there, it would be more likely that they could get a DA or somebody to look into it.

This is beyond horrific. PA is a weird state, we have tons of hillbillies and inbred individuals in my neck of Pa as well. You should contact someone, the press if the police is not getting involved with this case. The local police are a joke, they seem to squash things before they go public. I hope that you and your friends can get things going through a green roots process if anything and put the heat under the asses of the local cops that seem to think attempted murder is a joke.

Sadly thats the typical hayseed town justice for a serious situation like this, do nothing. a weird situation occured a while back in my hometown of Glens Falls, NY. A man was murdered apparently and left on the railroad tracks behind a locally owned bar. Time passed and apparently that they said the guy just wondered off and died from drinking way to much. I went to college and years later talked to this guy, making a long story short he was best friends with the guy who was killed. It was an awkward moment for sure.

Often times on the trail local authorities either won't do anything (like in your friends case) or simply can't; those type of areas are pretty wild and even police aren't able to do or keep track of much. Also, hitchhiking is a pretty common for backpackers to do, especially around the AT. Hell I've done it twice, met some nice locals that were happy to give us a ride down the road. Unfortunately not everyone is this lucky, as seen tonight.

Crazy hillbillies are scary. With what I do for a living I constantly deal with hard ass rednecks, some pirates, and a fair mix of sociopaths and psychopaths, but there's something so disturbing about murdery rapey white trash looking to hunt people in the woods.

He turned himself in to Richmond police for a hit and run that he didn't commit because he was so drunk he thought he sideswiped a car. The cops told him there was no evidence so there was no crime so he got off, despite (retardedly) confessing to drunk driving that night. He still doesn't know what he hit. He used to get f***ed up on a combination of ghb cocaine and acid, dress up in this giant filthy bird costume that he found in lying on a sewer grate, and hand out jolly ranchers to panhandlers. The bums, who usually took advantage of him, would flee in horror when the bird suit came out. He wouldn't leave them alone.
