あらすじ・解説
Ronald S. Sanchez Jr. was a U.S. Army veteran who was murdered while hiking the Appalachian Trail in May 2019. He had served in the military for two decades and turned to hiking as a form of therapy to cope with PTSD.
Sanchez was attacked in southwest Virginia by James L. Jordan, a mentally unstable man who had been threatening hikers along the trail. Jordan, armed with a knife, assaulted Sanchez and a female hiker. While the woman managed to escape and get help, Sanchez was fatally stabbed. James was later arrested and charged with murder and assault.
