We've actually talked about this a bit in the MTB thread ... it's sad and alarming.

Yea, my last post over there has a lot of info. Looks pretty sure like a serial killer who killed two girls in Delphi, Indiana and ended up out here like many do, unfortunately.

This guy was so unhinged that he's been chasing people with a hatchet and was back at the search and rescue scene for Tim Watkins drIving by aggressively multiple times. Earned himself a picture of his car and license plate going out on social media and his subsequent quick arrest. He chased the son of a friend of ours and one of his friends with a hatchet, but that was a road rage thing seemingly at the time and the boys easily escaped in their car and reported it to police.

This article is a good summary - nothing new is breaking due to the active investigation except it's since been reported this guy was in Delphi, Indiana at the time of those murders.

And he shows up on my local trails - could have been any of us. RIP Tim Watkins. Guy was apparently a legend around here. My wife and many of our friends knew him. A little memorial at the local Mt. Herman trailhead from yesterday.
