I do thank you again

for meeting me, Ms. Jones.

I know this could be a lot.

They were my friends.

I just wanna make sure

someone is looking for them.

Of course we are every day.

So um, you weren't with Sandy, Mia

or Lauren that day?

No, I was at work.

They planned it before one

of their girl reset hikes.

Griffin Trails was their go-to spot.

You know about what time they went out?

Mia texted me around 9:45 that morning.

Said they parked and were heading in.

She sent me a photo of them

by the trail head smiling.

That was the last time I

heard from any of them.

Hmm

Well, what can you tell me

about them as individuals?

Um hmm

Sandy was the quiet one.

Love, nature, hated cities.

Mia was the loud one

always on her phone, spontaneous.

And Lauren was

somewhere in the middle, kind of the glue.

She kept the peace between Mia and Sandy

whenever they clash, which happened a lot.

Now, did any of them ever mention

feeling unsafe on the trails?

No. They'd been there

a dozen times before.

But Mia did mention something

weird the week before.

Weird how

She said that there was someone

that kept parking

behind her apartment

building late at night.

Okay.

Dark. SUV tinted

windows. Never saw who it was.

She just assumed it was

someone visiting the neighbors.

Okay. Did any of the women

talk about seeing anyone

unusual on the hikes?

I mean, Mia mentioned once

during a hike months ago

that there was this guy

that passed them

and then circled back like, like he was

lost or stalling.

She brushed it off, said

maybe he was looking

for a different trail head.

Did she describe him?

Black male,

early thirties athletic build gym bag.

Baseball cap hoodie.

She said he smiled like he

knew them like he was waiting

for them to say something.

Did she say if she talked to him?

He said be safe ladies.

Nothing threatening, but,

but the way he said it, it

gave me a weird feeling like

he was trying too hard to be friendly.

Okay.

(folder closed

Well what do you think happened?

I think, I think someone watched them,

waited for just the right

moment and, and took them all.

Now that's kind of odd for someone to

abduct three people with no struggle.

Don't you think?

Not if they trusted

him even for a second.

Okay. Okay.

Well we are gonna find them

and we won't stop until we do.

Alright.

Please do before someone

else disappears too.

Thanks Ms. Jones.

(boom sound)

(suspenseful music)

(boom sound)

Lisa

Lisa

Lisa wake up.

What did you do to us?

(boom sound)

(dramatic music)

They laugh like fire in the neon sun

dancing shadows when

the nights become,

but whispers crawl behind their bags.

A sharpened smile in unseen cracks.

Blades of trust.

Trust in the rain

slip off in the glare

of every step.

A careful play in a game

with darkness has its say

girls just wanna run through the night

chasing dreams.

Under dangerous light

but the walls around the praise begun

Bitter truth

Where trust weighs none

Our client wants a complete

rebrand by next quarter

That meets fresh concepts,

aggressive marketing,

and no room for errors.

Katrina, where are we

with the presentation?

I finalized the visuals

and data projections.

I'll have the pitch that

published by Friday.

I still think we should

take a more edgy approach.

Traditional branding feels safe,

but safe doesn't sell anymore.

What's your take?

Edgy works for certain demographics,

but our client values trust and longevity.

A drastic shift might alienate them.

Fine. Stick with Katrina's approach.

But I wanna back up concept

something riskier just in case.

Alright, meeting adjourned.

I don't know how you

see it so calm in there.

You'll get used to it.

Hmm

(uptempo music)

Ohhh

oh

oh ohhh

Oh ohhh

She walks in like a thunder clap.

All eyes

On her as the heels tap

Her crown is high.

Her spirit's wild.

She's untamed. Fierce.

No reconcile. Bow down

to the power she holds

Her story's fire

worth more

than gold.

She commands the storm

and rides the light

A blazing star

that sparks the night.

Ohhh oh

Ohhh

Oh

Hey guys, what's up?

It's your girl, Lisa, live

and glowing on your feed.

We are 2 million strong,

y'all. Okay? 2 million.

(birds chirping)

Okay. First of all, I just

wanna say thank you for riding

with me since the beginning, okay?

From that tiny dorm room

to this fly a*s condo,

to these crazy mountain views.

If it wasn't for y'all,

there would be no me.

And that's real. So I just

wanna say thank you.

Alright. Alright. I know

y'all been asking. I know.

Lisa, what's the big news?

Lisa, where you been?

Lisa, are you really going

into the Woods? Yes girl.

I am going on this hiking trip

with my college bestie Katrina.

Now y'all already know I am

not the wilderness type. Okay.

Bugs, dirt, no WiFi.

(ugh)

Like your girl needs a

signal to survive. Okay?

But it's a bonding thing.

We haven't seen each other

in years and I miss her.

So we are taking off the

lashes, packing up the bug spray

and praying to the skincare.

Gods, I come back in one piece.

Also, big brand news dropping next week.

Just know your girl is leveling up.

(chuckle)

No, no, not switching up.

Just leveling up. Okay?

We, you know, we stay real

over here, okay? We stay real.

Alright, Alright.

I have to go and prep for

this deal meeting. Okay?

Y'all already know your girl is about

to negotiate like a queen.

So please remember, stay

real, stay loud and stay fly.

Alright, bye.

(uptempo gentle music)

Haaa Haaa

Haaa

Haaa Haaa

Haaa Haaa

Haaa Haaa

ooohh

Welcome to Jimmie's. I've

got some complimentary

goals to get you started.

I'll give you a second

to look over the menu

and I'll come back to take your order.

Thank you. I appreciated that.

I was starting to think

that you would bail on me.

I told you I'd come. Yes,

but you're always way too busy

being a responsible adult.

Feel the bass as it climbs so high.

Welcome ladies. Would you

like a glass of our house wine?

Yes. And keep it coming.

You're Untouchable

alive

And wild

Do you already know

what you'd like or do you

need a minute to look over the menu?

I think we know what, like I will

have the chicken Alfredo.

I'll take the chicken Alfredo

As well.

But please make it spicy.

- Okay? It'll be all shortly.

- Thank

You.

Mmm

Yes.

The skylines calling

mmm

Heaven

- Slow

- Down, Lisa.

I can't. It's too good.

I can see that. So tell me,

how's the influencer

life been treating you?

Lisa, finally,

Brandon,

I've been chasing your

agent for two months.

Well, good things come

to those who wait, so

what have you got that's worth the wait?

A full package partnership,

exclusive content.

A branded beauty line.

Organic skincare, of course.

And a podcast co-hosted by a celeb.

You actually posted about

and six figures to start.

Okay, well, looks shiny.

But here's the thing.

I don't do sellout energy.

My followers have been with

me since the beginning.

They know the real me. I post

what I love and what I use.

Now, if I lose that authentic

energy, I lose everything.

And that's exactly why we want you.

You're not just an influencer,

you're a brand with values.

We'll keep your creative

freedom intact with

full say on campaigns, voiceovers,

aesthetics, everything.

Well, now you're speaking my language,

but I need creative control in writing

and a team of my choice.

I don't do assigned photographers.

Done. You'll have

final cut on everything.

All right, let's make this happen.

- Let's do it.

- I've got a hiking trip to survive

and a future to build.

(slams pen)

You know, brands pay me to

travel, eat, wear cute stuff.

So I can't complain.

That sounds exhausting.

Says the woman that lives in a cubicle.

Well, at least I have job

security. And yet you're stressed.

24-7. When was the last

time you did something fun?

There was that function

last week with my coworkers.

We made copies. Well, sh*t, we can't

All live a life like you.

That's exactly why we're

going on this hiking trip.

You're really serious about

this. Yes. Duh. Come on.

Just you, me. Nature. No

emails, no deadlines. Okay.

Nature. And I have a

complicated relationship.

Come on.

We used to hike all the time in college.

Alright, this will

be good. We need this.

Both of us need this.

The

night flows fast.

Fine.

One weekend.

Let's toast to it. Okay.

To adventure.

I guess

(glasses tap)

And every second

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

Woke to the whisper

Of pine in the breeze

Laced up my boots.

Kissed the city. Goodbye please.

Trail stretching. Onward.

Like a story untold.

I'm chasing new skies

where my heart will unfold.

Breathe it in let the

wild take my care.

Each step of rhythm.

A song in the air

Branches a sway

A Choir above

Hiking these woods

Is a dance that I love.

(gentle beat)

So tell me about that

big fancy job of yours.

Yeah, it stressed me out.

That's why I guess it's not bad.

I came out, see, see

the birds and the trees.

See, I told you you needed

This, but I get it.

Influencing can be a little

stressful too sometimes.

So it's nice today I

take a little breather

and just be with my friends.

(birds chirping)

I just can't believe you came.

I mean, oh, and you got this

wildlife glowy thing going on.

Love it.

Don't jinx it.

Well, you'll be fine.

I think if we go up just a little bit

and make a big circle, we

can come right back down.

Easy, right?

Okay. And

then we can get lunch after.

Ooh, yes.

On you.

Uhh, I didn't say all that.

(chuckle)

Well. I had to try.

(birds chirping)

(cracking sound)

Umph

Ahhh

Well, that wasn't part of

the plan, honey.

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

I got it

Fine.

Okay.

Well we're kind of in the

middle of nowhere right now.

It's just spray. I should

be fine. I can walk it off.

Alright. This is why I should

have been the cautious one.

Tell me about it.

Oh,

Hi there. I'm Eddie.

Hi Eddie. I am Lisa.

Nice to meet you.

Katrina.

Need a hand or should I just stand back

and watch you limp around

like an injured deer?

I'm fine.

Sure, sure.

You're just taking a little

forest nap. No big deal.

You know I've got a solid

track record when it comes

to sprained ankles mostly

and helping people get back on their feet.

Literally. I've even got

some first aid supplies

if you're into that kind of thing.

Look, I'm no doctor,

but I can promise you I'm

a lot more useful than

that rock you're heading towards.

Plus, I've been

through this whole sprained

ankle thing myself.

I'm practically a pro.

Come on. There's no

help around for miles

and I can't carry you down the mountain.

Like I said, he's kind of cute.

You should take him up on it.

I don't know.

I can't

Carry you.

Fine. Help me up, Eddie.

But if you keep making dear jokes,

I'll leave you standing there.

Deal. But I gotta warn you, I got a lot

of jokes about limps.

I'll get you to my place.

It's just a short walk.

Don't worry. I've got the

best couch for sprained ankles.

I'll get you back on track. Literally

(uptempo gentle beat)

The lights are low the air is sweet

Your silhouette makes my soul

right this way.

Ladies, welcome. Careful

Careful watch the ankle's.

There you go. And you're

going right this way, right

Nice place.

Thank you. Thank you.

My ankle's almost broke.

There you go. Almost.

There you go.

Yeah. Oh, careful.

Be careful. Here we go.

Alright, here we go. Take a seat. Relax.

You ladies. Look like you've

been through a w*r zone.

And trust me, I get it.

Nature can be brutal.

Yeah, we're not really built

for this whole wilderness thing.

Well, I'd offer you

some fancy outdoor remedy,

but I'm guessing you

prefer something a bit

less rustic.

(chuckling)

(uptempo gentle beat)

(boom sound)

(door opens)

(bag rattling)

(door shuts)

(Squeaky sound)

(phone rings

Hey chief. Yeah, man.

I was gonna give you a call

a little later, right? Yeah.

I saw the files that you

left on my desk yesterday

about the three women that

disappeared from Griffith Trails.

Yeah, man. Well, I went through the files

and I see that you guys

believe that this is connected

to some type of Colombian g*ng

that's connected to some type

of sex trafficking ring outta Russia.

Okay? But my thing is this,

Griffith Trails is one

of the most busiest parks

in California, right?

So if women were being snatched

up, thrown into a white van

and then driven off, somebody

would've called that in.

There would've been photos

popping up, videos online,

everything, right?

I mean, because that park

has kids, people just walking

around, just, you get what I'm saying?

It's just a busy park.

So there's no way that some

g*ng is snatching women up

and throwing 'em into

a van and driving off.

Impossible. So what I believe, I believe

that this is one guy.

One guy, and he's not forcing these women.

He's sweet talking, he's charming them.

He's getting them back to his place,

and then they just vanish

never to be seen again.

That's my theory. Now,

hey, I could be wrong,

but chief, trust me on this one.

Trust me, it's one guy now

who this guy is.

I guess that's something

we gotta figure out.

(boom sound)

Okay? Okay. Yes. We're

in the same wavelength.

So do you guys normally take that at

that hiking trail I saw you guys at?

No, it was our first time.

Probably our last

Oh, last.

Really? I mean, it's

a, it is a nice trail.

You guys should go

there more often, right?

Alright ladies,

Here we go.

Drink up. You'll feel better in no time.

Thanks. I could use a strong one.

Umm

Feel free to flip through the channels.

I have cable streaming, whatever you want.

I'll take a look. Thanks.

You ladies hungry. I

can whip something up.

Umm

How about a smothered? Deer

meat, I've got a fresh batch.

I've been slow cooking all day.

Smothered. Deer meat..

I know it's not the most common dish,

but it's a family recipe.

Trust me, it's good.

Umm

Thanks. Just the drinks. Yeah,

No food.

Got it. No one turns on my deer meat,

but I'll respect the request.

You know, you ladies are pretty brave.

Most people wouldn't trust a guy

that he's met in the middle of nowhere.

But you did.

You don't look like the type of guy

that would cause trouble.

Oh, I'm the opposite of trouble.

Trouble's just a bad habit, right?

Oh, I don't know.

Trouble's. Kind of fun.

Oh, well if trouble's your thing,

I think we can find some adventure here.

Okay, Eddie, don't

throw me with a good time.

(suspenseful music)

Just a little longer.

I am starting to feel a little off.

Yeah, you didn't tell us

how strong these drinks were.

You both seem like

you're having a good time.

What did you do to us?

Umm

I just gave you a little something

to make you feel more comfortable.

Relax, Katrina. You've had a long day.

I'm starting to feel kind of

Floaty.

Well, that's the thing with adventure.

It doesn't always follow the

rules. I'm not a bad guy.

Katrina. Really? Just little hospitality.

Relax, take a rest.

Everything's under control.

What are you gonna do to us?

What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna help you guys. Relax.

Katrina, where are we

with the presentation?

I finalized the visuals

and data projections.

I'll have the pitch deck

published by Friday.

I still think we should

take a more edgy approach.

Traditional branding feels safe,

but safe doesn't sell anymore.

What's your take?

Edgy works for certain demographics,

but our client values,

trust and longevity.

A drastic shift might alienate them.

Fine. Stick with Katrina's approach.

But I want a backup concept.

Something riskier just in

case, alright meeting adjourned.

I don't know how you stayed so calmly.

You'll get used to it.

(boom sound)

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

Jacobs, we definitely need to talk.

Well, it must be pretty important

'cause no one ever meets me down here.

It's more than important.

Another hiker came

forward early this morning.

New witness

Said a day ago.

She saw a black male early to mid thirties

helping two female hikers off a trail.

And Griffith, one of them look

like she twisted her ankle.

Did we get a description?

Black T-shirt, gray backpack, blue jeans,

average height fit built matches.

The description that Lisa Barnes gave me

a day ago, and now we're

just hearing about this.

She didn't think anything was wrong.

Said he seemed like a

nice guy. Real charming.

Said the woman even laughed

at something. He said

Laughing while sizing them up.

Yeah, he knew exactly what he was doing.

Hmm. Yeah.

Any name, license, plates, anything?

No, no car.

Just that he carried himself

real casual, confident.

A few days ago I got a call from Officer

Malone and he had a hunch.

Got me really thinking.

We've been looking in the wrong

direction the entire time.

Thinking of some sort of

Columbia g*ng involved

in sex trafficking.

That's why we landed at a dead end.

It's only one guy that's

doing this, not a crew.

Hmm

This case is starting

to make more sense now.

Total of three women missing

with a possibility of two more.

Same area, no bodies, no ransom notes.

This guys a f*cking mastermind.

It's like we chasing a f*cking ghost.

Not if we smoke 'em out.

(chuckles)

How?

Plain clothes,

weekends cover the trails.

Hikers, runners, couples blend in

Eyes everywhere.

Well, chief, it's not that simple.

This guy, a see us coming, then

he'll go dormant for years.

For these ladies sake. I sure hope not.

'Cause that's gonna give his entire

case to a screeching halt.

- Hmm.

- This guy is 10 times smarter than the

zodiac k*ller ever was.

True. But

Eventually he'll get too comfortable

and sloppy just like the rest of them.

That's when we'll nail his a*s.

Yeah. Well, the thing about that,

if he leaves Los Angeles

and go to a new city

and start a new life, he'll just be a

born against serial k*ller.

Well, Jacobs, it's

just the facts of life.

You can go fishing all day,

but it doesn't guarantee

you'll catch a damn thing.

But if I hear anything

else, I'll let you know.

Thank you. Thank you, chief.

(suspenseful music)

I told you you'll be fine, but

you didn't listen.

What did you do to us?

It's just a little nap Katrina,

nothing to worry about.

I told you this was

about relaxation, right?

And trust me, it's all gonna be fine.

But the thing is, Katrina, some people

just need a little more

time to relax than others.

We didn't do anything to you. You

Freak.

You didn't do anything

wrong. You just trusted me.

That's all.

You're f*cking sick.

The thing is, Katrina,

once people trust you,

they let their guards down

and that's when the real fun starts.

Sick f*ck.

(boom sound)

Hey guys, what's up?

It's your girl, Lisa, live

and glowing on your feed.

We are 2 million strong,

y'all. Okay? 2 million.

She commands the storm

Okay. First of all, I just

wanna say thank you for riding

with me since the beginning, okay?

From that tiny dorm room

to this fly a*s condo,

to these crazy mountain views.

If it wasn't for y'all,

there would be no me.

And that's real. So I just

wanna say thank you. Alright?

Alright. Alright. I know

y'all been asking. I know.

Lisa, what's the big news?

Lisa, where you been?

Lisa, are you really going

into the woods? Yes, girl.

I am going on this hiking trip

with my college bestie Katrina.

Now y'all already know I am

not the wilderness type. Okay?

Bugs, mm mm, dirt, no WiFi.

Ugh

Like your girl needs a

signal to survive. Okay?

But it's a bonding thing.

We haven't seen each other in years.

And.. (Sighs)..I miss her.

So we are taking off the

lashes, packing up the bug spray

and praying to the skincare.

Gods, I come back in one piece.

Also, big brand news dropping next week.

Just know your girl is leveling up.

(chuckles)

No, no, not switching up.

Just leveling up. Okay?

We, you know, we stay real

over here, okay? We stay real.

(chuckles)

All right? All right. I have to go

and prep for this deal meeting.

Okay? Y'all already

know your girl is about

to negotiate like a queen.

So please remember, stay

real, stay loud and stay fly.

Alright. Bye

(boom sound)

Mmm

Katrina. What's going on?

Oh, to get up, you're awake.

Oh, we're just having a little

chat. Nothing to worry about.

(suspenseful music)

You know, I have to admit,

you two are different than I thought.

I expected a little more

resistance. You know what they say?

Trust is a fragile thing.

And you two are gonna have to trust me

or things are gonna get messy.

You're both so strong

but not strong enough.

Now that's more like it.

Oh, you think that's

gonna stop me, a g*n?

Really?

- You're f*cking

- Insane.

You've got guts, Katrina.

I'll give you that but

you should know. I'm not

Afraid of you.

Don't take another step.

You think you're the first one

to think they have power over me.

I have a lot more up my sleeve

than just physical force.

Katrina don't

Come on Lisa. It's the only way out.

See Katrina you'll always hesitate.

'Cause you'll always worry about her.

Just stay calm. We'll figure

this out. How Lisa?

- No heroes here. Katrina, not

- Tonight.

(g*nsh*t)

(uptempo gentle beat)

Hm.

(phone rings)

Hm. Melissa. Hey Melissa. What's up?

Yeah, well, you know where I'm at.

Same place I'm at every night. Yeah.

Still working on this case.

Right now we are at a dead end.

Only thing we know. Black

shirt, gray backpack,

and some blue jeans.

That's it. No plates,

no car, nothing else.

But I promise you this,

once this case is over,

I'm taking a super long vacation.

I'm talking about, I don't

want to see this office

for at least two weeks.

Hmm. Yeah.

And I know you feel like

I've been neglecting you lately,

but I promise you I haven't.

It's just this case, you know?

It's like the whole office

is flipped upside down.

The chief is up. Everybody's

a*s about finding this guy.

But like I said, we're at a dead end.

So what you been up to? Yeah.

Thinking about me? I

bet. Well, you know what?

What are you doing Friday night? Perfect.

So let's say around eight

o'clock I come pick you up,

we go out to your favorite restaurant

and then from there we catch a movie

and then we got hit the park.

You know, hold hands, be very romantic,

you know, and just reminisce

over good times how about that.

(chuckles)

What comes after?

I mean, we can go back

to my place or your place.

I can give you a good massage

and you know, we'll see

what else happens, right?

Yeah. Oh yeah.

But that's pretty much how

my life's been going lately.

Anything new in your life?

Hmm

Yeah.

(email notification)

Wait a minute.

Oh, what is this?

Hey Melissa, I'm gonna give

you a call back, okay? Yeah.

Something just came across my desk that I

definitely gotta take care of.

Alright? But I promise

I'll give you a call back.

What? In the hell?

Is this. This is him.

Ahh

Thank you God, it's him.

(phone rings)

Hey Chief, I got the same email.

Mmm hmm

It's our guy. It is our guy.

What sh**ting? Wait,

what apartments Chief.

Those apartments are

not far from the trail.

You think it's him?

I'm gonna head over there now.

Okay? Alright. Yeah. I'll

keep you posted. All right.

(boom sound)

Ayee

Oh,

(suspenseful music)

You actually shot me.

You dirty b*tch. I can't

Believe it.

You actually grew a conscience.

Awe

Okay, I'll get you. Oh, it's not over yet.

You think you can just leave?

Ah, I'm down right now.

I'm not out.

Come on Lisa

Yeah, You think you can just

leave? Get back here.

Awe

- I'm coming for you.

- Get back here.

You think you can get away from me?

That ain't happening.

Awe

(suspenseful music)

(g*nsh*t)

Lisa

Lisa

Lisa

Lisa

(door opens)

Help me. Please, please. The

man he's shot my friend.

He's still there. He's armed and

he's dangerous.

Okay, ma'am?

He tried to sh**t me.

Okay. He got my friend,

Ma'am.

- Staying calm.

- Okay, check it out. But stay here. Okay.

Stay here.

(boom sound)

So tell me about that

big fancy job of yours.

Yeah, it's stressing me out.

That's why I guess it's not bad.

I came out. See, you see

the birds and the trees.

See, I told you you

needed this, but I get it.

Influencing can be a little

stressful too sometimes.

So it's nice to take a little breather

and just be with my friends.

(birds chirping)

I just can't believe you came.

I mean, oh, and you got this

wildlife glowy thing going on.

Love it.

Don't jinx it.

Well, you'll be fine.

I think if we go up just a little bit

and make a big circle,

we can come right back down. Easy, right?

Okay. And then we can

get lunch after. Ooh,

Yes.

- On you.

- I didn't say all that

(chuckles)

Well.

I had to try.

(birds chirping)

(cracking sound)

Oh,

Ugh

that wasn't part of the plan, honey.

I'm fine.

Oh, no are you okay?

I got it.

Fine.

Okay.

Well, we're kind

of in the middle of nowhere right now.

Ugh.

It's just a sprain. I should

be fine. I can walk it off.

Alright. This is why I should

have been the cautious one.

Tell me about it.

Oh,

hi there. I'm Eddie.

(boom sound)

(phone rings)

Hello. This is Katrina. Huh?

Huh?

I can see you now

Hello?

Huh?

I'm so close to you

Wait what?

(phone slams)

(gagging and choking sounds)

(trash bag rattling)

(punching sounds)

(coughing and choking sounds)

(uptempo beat)

Hi. Excuse me.

Hi. Hello. Excuse me. Excuse me. Hi.

Yeah, hi. Umm You've been on

the machine for a while now

and I've been waiting for like 15 minutes.

I don't wanna be rude,

but it's the only chance

person between in the gym

and it's, you know, I

have other things to do.

Day.

No worries. You're totally right.

I guess I was just lost in the zone.

Hmm

Right?

All yours.

Right. Thanks. Appreciate it

(suspenseful music)

(Bam)

(woman screams)

They say the woods are peaceful.

A place to disconnect, to heal,

to escape the noise of the world.

But sometimes people go into

the forest and never come out.

Every year, thousands

of hikers vanished without

a trace in national parks

and wilderness trails across the country.

No footprints, no calls

for help. Just silence.

In 1981,

14-year-old Katherine Van Alst

wandered off while hiking

with her family in Arkansas.

When she was found six days later,

miles from where she

disappeared, she was calm,

distant, wearing no shoes.

When asked what happened, she

simply said, I don't know.

Then there's Kenny Veach, a seasoned hiker

and adventurer who set out

into the Nevada desert in 2014

to find a mysterious cave.

He claimed made his body

vibrate. He never returned.

Only his cell phone was found lying

by an abandoned mine shaft.

And in 2021, Justin Richardson,

an experienced backpacker

went hiking alone in the

forest of northern California,

he text his girlfriend a photo

of the summit then vanished.

No body, no gear,

nothing but not all.

Disappearances are accidents.

Some trails are marked in blood.

Campers have stumbled

across shallow graves,

hikers found buried by rocks.

Victim stripped of their gear

and left to rot beneath the pines.

Sometimes the forest doesn't

take you someone in it does.

No suspects, no convictions.

Just the growing legend of trails.

You should never walk alone.

These woods remember everything,

every scream, every secret.

And once you're deep enough

in, they decide who comes out.
