Ep.126 Mountains and Murders in Maine

A Scary State

We start off “season 3” with our country’s most northeastern state, Maine! Mount Katahdin, located in Baxter State Park, is one of Maine’s natural wonders. It is Maine’s highest peak and is the northern end to the Appalachian Trail. It draws in many hikers, some of who are ill prepared for the difficult hike to the trail’s end. Lauren shares with us three daunting stories of travelers who didn’t make it to the top, some who were never seen again and one who made it out alive. In the Isle of Shoals, sits a small island known to locals as Smuttynose Island. Hundreds of years ago, settlers from Norway began making their way over to the New World for new opportunities. Kenzie tells us about a tragedy that struck Smuttynose Island and the narrow escape of one lucky soul. Our hearts go out to the people of Maine in the wake of another preventable mass shooting.
