  • Murder on the Appalachian Trail Paul David Crews In
    Murder on the Appalachian Trail Paul David Crews In September of 1990, a young couple, Geoffrey Hood (26) and Molly LaRue (25), set out to hike Appalachian Trail. Hood was from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and LaRue was from Signal Mountain, Tennessee.1 They both worked for an organization that took troubled kids on “wilderness” trips to “challenge them and counsel them”, but they had left their jobs to hike the Appalachian Trail .2 About halfway through their hike, Hood and LaRue crossed paths with Paul David Crews. Crews was a wanted criminal in the state of Florida for a murder he committed in 1986. Crews brutally murdered Hood and LaRue at a trailside shelter near the Susquehanna River. Crews shot Hood three times, and “bound, tortured and raped” LaRue before stabbing her eight times in the throat and back until she died.3 Another hiker, Brian Bowen, and his wife found the bodies on September 13, 1990. Bowen said LaRue’s body was “lying amid scattered camping equipment, naked, hands tied behind her back, head bloodied”, and he immediately notified the police of the murder.4 The West Virginia Police found Crews eight days later with Hood’s backpack and the murder weapons, a”.22 caliber revolver and a knife.”5 In New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, the Perry County courthouse convicted Crews of two accounts of first­degree murder, and Crews received the death sentence. However, in 2006, Crews’ sentence was replaced with two consecutive life sentences without the ability to have parole.6 1 Nussbaum, Paul. “Backpacker Tells Of Finding Hikers’ Bodies.” Philly.com.

To Medeski, Edie, and VL, as well as the rhodies, mountain chickens, and wood thrush, thank you for sharing your spirit and teaching me the joys of interspecies relationships. I cannot express enough gratitude to my committee and committee chair, AnaLouise Keating, for her guidance and inspiration. You made a profound impact on my personal and professional growth. My heartfelt appreciation is for my husband and hiking companion, Josh. Thank you for the tears, beers, and encouragement both on and off the trail. The AT and the dissertation were both incredible journeys, and I look forward to our next adventure together. iii ABSTRACT PAMELA WHITE WOLSEY THE POWER OF THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL: REIMAGINING THE NATURE NARRATIVE THROUGH AUTOHISTORIA-TEORÍA MAY 2020 This study situates the Appalachian Trail (AT) as a powerful place connecting multiple communities with varying identities, abilities, and personalities, a place where we can consider our radical interconnectedness in a way that moves beyond wilderness ideology and settler colonialism through the construction of an inclusive narrative about experiences in nature.
