everytime I watch these serial murder stories make me realize that sadly the world is full of so unbalanced opposite mind of human being. Some are like those hikers who helped and molly's dad who are achieving so higher level of understanding of the humanity on good side, and the others are like this murderer, who never have chance or develop to even understand the beauty of the world.

30:15 That red/blue/yellow book... back in 1999 when I was in grade 7 we saw a film (an old school film, like on a reel) in class with the exact same premise. Except the colours may have been different, I think it was blue green and red. It was made in the 70s probably. I think no publishers would agree to publish the work because that idea is straight up stolen. Not publishing a book because of how the writer died... that doesnt seem like something that would happen.

Our close friend hiked the trail after the killer was captured in the early 90’s. We we’re still terrified that something would happen to him because he hiked the whole trail alone but he fared well. I know he met with hikers who pointed out the journal entries the couple made. He made a point to look for their monikers afterwards. Thanks for covering this- we’re from Mass and I can tell you after hiking with this friend in the White Mountains of NH that I’m not cut out for this activity. It’s definitely god’s country though- breathtaking doesn’t begin to describe it’s beauty-especially up North. ❤J&M

His lack of empathy was done in baby and toddlerhood from receiving no love and nurturing. It appeared to be irreversible and have no cure, not even with adoptive parents’ positive influence. Jeff and Molly were gone too soon. They could have become great parents and contribute to community. AT is dangerous because how close to town the sections are. Anyone can wander into the trail to hide or do crime. Quite a lot of crime against hikers happened on AT.

I hiked the AT in 2011 I was 22 then. I started it from ME alone. No one told me most people start in GA. I only had a backpack and a tarp. It was the hardest hike Ive ever done and Ive hiked thru AZ to TX. I enjoyed the AT so much I have a tattoo on my arm. Id do it again but with someone. Water was the hardest thing to source and my food was oats and peanut butter. Waking up to get moving was becoming a motivation. Id get 25 to 30 miles a day in. In the whole time I was on the trail I only ran into maybe 8 people. You start to really get to know who you are. I ate blueberries with blackbears in VT and pissed my pants when I came across a lone bull moose. Thanks to the guy in VT for the bottle of wine and a fat steak, I ate it and popped the bottle on top a mountain that night. I hate the state of New York the people are assholes and I think I met a murderer on one of my hikes to town on a hwy. If I do it again im bringing my gun. A note to anyone wanting to try doing it dont sleep at the lean tos thats where the day hikers stay to camp. They're annoying and skip walking thru NY.

Oh no. I’ve already watched enough true crime to wonder if I’ll ever be able to go camping again and to have a healthy fear of the appachean trail, which I believe is inhabited by at least a few wanted men, some of them feral by now..

As much as i do not believe in the supernatural, Mr. Ballen’s missing 411 stories have solidified a fear of the woods for me. Even disregarding the “supernatural” aspect of 411 cases, the woods are just scary in general

When I was a teen I ran away from home because of abuse. I ended up homeless on the streets and while it was not a nature trail I was in the jungle every day and night trying to survive and not get raped and killed by the human monsters that were out there hunting for innocents. The only reason i survived out there was a loyal homeless dog that I bonded with and shared my food with and an old timer from the streets gave me a gun to protect myself. The dog would warn me of people approaching or even if they were looking at me so I always was ready for whatever was coming and was never caught off guard and I had that gun and was ready and willing to use it. Word of advice kids stay off drugs stay off the streets and never turn your back on anyone.

Molly's dad is a much better person than I. I would NEVER forgive anyone who killed my loved ones. And I certainly wouldn't have decent words to say to them. I'm not faulting him at all by saying that. I just know I personally wouldn't be able to do it. I have heard people forgive these monsters to free themselves in order to move on and for other reasons. That's not my style. I'm more along the lines with her mother. Regardless, neither of them deserved the horrible fate handed to them years ago by that diabolical, depraved piece of sh-t. Rest in Peace, Geoffrey and Molly. 🙏 I'm glad this video ended on a high note. Thankfully that dreg of society is dead. Hope he's enjoying eternity in hell.

I was hiking the AT in Georgia, almost all of it in starts and stops around this time. Ran into a few strange characters. I never carried defensive means. Never would have occurred to me until I met one or two characters that I needed to be prepared for the worse case. Given the changes in the world if I were still hiking today, I'd first get a carry permit and have a gun holstered with me at all times. (It may be illegal to hike with a weapon. But I'd rather get a fine than be butchered in a trail shelter.)
