4. Murder in Paradise (Mount Rainier National Park, Washington)
When a park employee goes missing from the Paradise Inn in Mount Rainier National Park, searching started immediately. It was suspected that she became lost on a trail or was abducted. But after the spring thaw in May 1997, skeletal remains were discovered and all previous theories were thrown out. Almost 30 years later, the question of who or what killed the park employee remains a mystery.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the NPS Investigative Services Branch at 202-379-4761. Email: nps_isb@nps.gov. Submit a tip here.
