I dunno, you could be right, I don’t claim to be an expert on psycho killers (except I like the david byrne song).
One more thing, though, while we’re on the subject, because I meant to but forgot to put this in my last answer - the case everybody was referencing(the 96 AT hikers murder) was a double murder, and so those people weren’t solo anyway.
But all that is neither here nor there. Psycho killers are a statistical anomaly that can crop up in all walks of life, and your odds of dying that way while on a hike are very, very small, less than on the drive to the trailhead.
