I have been greatly disturbed by the death of a fellow Appalachian Trail hiker, Mr. Scott Lilly. I have been reading about this tragic death on the forums, but the news and rumors are spread out across the forum. This is upsetting due to the fact this issue is a current event, and directly effects the community. We do not know how he died, but the FBI has labeled it 'suspicious'. I have read a post that says he was found in a 'shallow grave'. As I know no animal that digs a grave for a human, and then puts the human in it, I am convinced that Mr. Lilly was attacked somehow for some reason by a human.

If everyone agrees, should we make this the 'one stop shop' of sorts to follow this issue until it is found out what happened for sure? I think the WhiteBlaze community should take this as serious as possible and follow this story as best we can, and put all info into this thread. I hope we can find a consensus.
