41. Mysterious Death in Yosemite (Yosemite National Park, California)

Morbid Outdoors Episode 41

Yosemite is known for being a hot spot for missing hikers and strange disappearances. In fact, Yosemite National Park has a higher-than-average number of missing persons. But it has less frequent mysterious deaths. In 1979, one park employee vanished and her death is highly suspect and remains unsolved. Was her death accidental or was she a victim of a serial killer?
