    When I go hiking I carry a 10mm, does that count as increased security?

    No one ever gets caught anymore. Even with cameras and eye witnesses, these people just keep getting away.

    It’s a beautiful place but it is remote in places. Sad

    AE Cold Case Files: Season 3, Episode 6, "Taken In Tacoma." This park has a long history unfortunately.
