America\u2019s most classic hiking route is generally a safe place for an adventure. But not always. Since 1974, there have been 13 murders on the trail. That\u2019s not a big number when you consider the millions of people who spend time on it\xa0every year, but it\u2019s enough to make some thru-hikers wary of strangers. For this episode of our Summer Read series, we bring you the account of\xa0the first murder on the Appalachian Trail, the kidnapping that followed, and how one woman learned to survive.
