INSIDE THE CRIME NEWS

Meredith Emerson was murdered while hiking in the mountains of northeast Georgia. Park rangers say there’s no one item a hiker can tote that will surely keep them safe. Guns aren’t allowed in state parks, and a dog can be neutralized. The wilderness provides cover for crime.

U.S. national parks average 21 homicides, 80 rapes or attempted rapes, 103 robberies, 12 kidnappings and 419 aggravated assaults per year, according to National Park Service statistics. Many national park rangers now carry handguns and wear soft body armor.

Think about it. Our ancestors left the wilderness for the benefits of living in communities. And your escaping from modern civilization to go frolicking in the wilderness isolates you from all the protections you take for granted at home.

You’ll likely run into any one or more of a wide variety of problems you hadn’t anticipated – and you’re all alone. You can’t call for help – cell phones don’t work in the boonies. There are no neighbors to rely on and no passing Good Samaritans to rescue you – unless you’re phenomenally lucky.

Worse, violent predators know all those risks you face. That makes you easy pickings for any sicko who can stalk you without you even knowing it – until he strikes.

There are also the usual dangers from wild animals, injuries, and getting stranded or lost. You’re not going to Vegas to gamble – you’re going to no-man’s land. You’d better stack the odds in your favor.
