Usual Disclaimer with Eleanor Neale

50: Romantic Hike Ended in Murder

Today's episode is on Rebecca Wight and Claudia Brenner who in 1988, set off on a romantic hike near the Appalachian trail. As long distance girlfriends, their weekends together were treasured - but neither of them expected this would be their last. When Stephen Roy Carr saw the couple making love in the woods, he was overcome with homophobia-fuelled rage - and launched a devastating attack on them.
