On July 18th, 2007, fifty-five year old Barbara Bolick went on a hike with her husband's cousin's boyfriend. An avid hiker, Barbara knew the trails like the back of her hand and, on this day, she was hiking her favorite trail. A short 2.6 miles up to a beautiful vista.
However, hours later, Barbara's hiking partner emerged from the forest with a bizarre story to tell. Barbara was missing, and the details have confounded friends, family and investigators alike for the past thirteen years. Police are actively seeking information about Barbara's disappearance and two young men seen in the area that day.
