while there have been incidents of violence along the Appalachian Trail, it is essential to remember that they are relatively rare compared to the vast number of hikers who complete the trail without facing such issues.
Here are a few notable incidents:
The 1981 Murders: One of the most infamous cases occurred in 1981 when two women, Rebecca Wight and Claudia Brenner, were shot while camping along the trail in Virginia. Wight was killed, and Brenner survived. The perpetrator, Stephen Roy Carr, was arrested and later convicted for the murders.
The 1996 Murders: In 1996, two hikers, Julianne Williams and Laura Winans, were found dead in their tent near the trail in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Their murders remain unsolved.
The 2011 Attack: In 2011, a hiker named Scott Lilly was attacked and killed while hiking the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. The attacker, Randall Lee Smith, also injured two other hikers before being apprehended.
Other Incidents: There have been several reports of assaults, robberies, and attempted attacks along the trail over the years. However, the vast majority of hikers complete the trail safely and without incident.
It's important to recognize that while these incidents are troubling, they represent a small fraction of the overall trail experience. Millions of people hike the Appalachian Trail each year, and for the most part, it remains a safe and enjoyable adventure for those who undertake it.
To ensure your safety while hiking the Appalachian Trail or any other backcountry area, it's essential to be well-prepared, hike with a partner or group if possible, inform someone of your plans and expected return date, carry essential safety gear, and be aware of your surroundings. Always follow the guidelines provided by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and other trail organizations to minimize risks and make the most of your hiking experience.
Back with the real, you know the deal. Today we’re going to tell a tale of the mythical creature, the Chiraq savage who feeds on the souls of his opps, the man that beats death. I’m talking bout the one and only, Chiraq Grim Reaper, the invincible, Lil Reese.
The only man who sets the timer on an opps life by mentioning them in a tweet. The man who gets shot in the neck, still gets out his car and saves himself. The man who lost his voice, got it back, and now may be blind in one eye, after coming in contact with a bullet. Reese is a Chiraq legend, that has earned his name as the Grim Reaper. Today, we’re going to learn why he’s so feared and how he continues to cheat death with impossible odds against him.
Lil Reese came up on the Southside of Chicago, in the infamous Calument projects, opposite to O Block where his father was from. He would move to the Lamron, 300 area, from where his mother is from, where he has been since. The street is home to many popular Chicago rappers as we’d soon see and its name comes from the original street name, Normal, spelt backwards.

A man who was named by police as a person of interest in the 2021 murder of rapper/music exec, Young Dolph, has been killed. Allegedly, family members identified Joshua Taylor as the victim of a fatal sh*oting in the city on Wednesday afternoon. Taylor, who reportedly went by the alias CEO Teezy was named as a person of interest in the Dolph murder case in February 2022 and according to the report he was wanted on a number of other charges including theft of property upwards of sixty thousand dollars and possession of a prohibited weapon. News reported that Taylor was found shot to death inside a car, and that he was thought to have been a friend of Justin Johnson, one of the two alleged shooters who’ve been charged in Dolph’s killing. Police never charged Taylor directly in the killing and he had not been mentioned in the case, though investigators reportedly wanted to find out if Taylor knew where Johnson was on the day of Dolph’s killing, or if he knew anything about the murder. Dolph, born Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was gunned down while shopping at Makeda’s Cookies near his childhood home in Memphis, in November of 2021. Jermarcus Johnson, 26, pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory after the fact, after officials said he helped two other men during the daytime ambush. Johnson was the first of four defendants to plead guilty or be convicted in Dolph shooting.
