The link utahhiker provided underscores my belief that the biggest danger to hikers is at trail heads and parking lots. There are plenty of unattended vehicles to go "shopping" in and people might be a little less on guard there.

I feel the same way in regards to parking lots and trail heads, but this was no ordinary one. It's difficult for vehicles to get out there, let alone some random stranger. And the fact that there were no other vehicles in sight makes it even more strange. There's a famous ghost story/urban legend that circulates the area about this guy who disappeared around the same place back in 1998. There's a link to his missing profile.
