    Default Murder in the Mountains

    I came across this atricle from June 3, 1991 about the murders @ the old Thelma Marks Shelter on Cove Mtn. south of Duncannon. Lots of info. I understand that some here on WB helped catch the killer?

    "Eight days after the bodies were found, National Park rangers in Harper's Ferry, W. Va., arrested a bearded backwoodsman who matched the description of a man spotted by a dozen witnesses near the murder scene. He was wearing Hood's well-worn hiking boots and carrying his distinctive green backpack with purple side panels. Both had been stolen from the shelter. Found with the backpack were other items of Hood's—a watch, a book, a foam sleeping pad"

    maybe if you took the time to read the article , you might know how they tracked him down and more , instead of asking us to read it for you

    was pretty easy. they knew kinda what he looked like and knew he was carrying Geoff's stuff. they hiked sections between roads both north and south meeting in the middle then go to the next section. one friend started across the bridge NOBO out of harpers ferry and Crews was coming SOBO across
