The SAR Captain Who Hunted Women on Empty Trails

Imagine finding a single hiking boot, perfectly balanced and undisturbed, on an empty forest road, with no footprints leading to or from it. This chilling discovery marked the beginning of a hunt for a predator who understood the wilderness better than anyone, a man whose name appeared on the very search teams looking for his victims. How could a trusted member of the community be responsible for such a calculated series of crimes?

In this episode, we uncover the disturbing case of a man who used his intimate knowledge of forest trails and public information to target women. The narrative explores the routines of three victims-Karen Powell, Lori Candela, and Christine Ables-and how their shared habit of openly discussing their hiking schedules became their undoing.

Person: Howard Marshall
Case: Three women murdered over four years
Location: Crestline corridor, Millhaven, Asker's Mill
Status: Convicted
