I have been following this all weekend and it looks like it is going to have a very bad ending. I didn't know the girl but I really wanted it to have a happy ending. It upsets me, not just because someone lost their life, but because I go out into nature to get away from this type of thing. To try and find peace away from the tensions of the big city. It seems that it is all too common in our society today...and the guy will probably get a slap on the wrist (for another thread\forum).

Right along these lines, and maybe this is for a different thread as well, but I thought that I noticed an increase in outdoor tragedy related news on CNN.com this morning. There is a the ski bus that overturned and the snowmobilers in Colorado that have been missing since Friday. I wonder if the media is turning their spotlights into the backcountry or if I was just hypersensitive given the story of the hiker?
