A Massachusetts man faces federal charges in the brutal attack Saturday on two Appalachian Trail hikers that left a man dead and a woman hospitalized with severe stab wounds, Virginia authorities said Sunday.
The names of the victims have not been released, but law enforcement described the horrific scene that involved multiple agencies in a combined effort to catch Jordan. Dunagan’s deputies were the first to encounter Jordan, several yards from the scene of Saturday’s attack. It had been reported that a man wielding a large knife, accompanied by a dog, had threatened a group of four hikers camped out late Friday.
The woman found help with another group of hikers she encountered six miles away in Smyth County, Virginia, and was transported to the nearest trauma centre, the sheriff said. King, of the trail conservancy, said they had heard of the man through alerts shared between hikers and on Trek, a well-read blog that posts frequent updates about life on the Appalachian Trail.
Hensley said he knew Jordan was a threat, but hikers refused to press assault charges and testify against him in court. So deputies charged him with what they could. “I knew that it was getting dangerous for people on the trail, and it was getting dangerous for him,” Norman said in a telephone interview Sunday. “He was scaring a lot of people, and there was a lot of misinformation going around about him. People were in defence mode when they saw him.”

Man rips down, burns Nazi flag flying on houseCaleb Pelletier told CTV News he took the flags down and burned them rather than wait for the authorities. Not something I would display but as the RCMP pointed out it isn't illegal Apparently destroying peoples property and whining is easier than actually behaving maturely and trying to get those laws changed though Indeed! No room for that Charge this person with theft, trespass, vandalism. My grandpa fought the Nazis for our freedom which means you can fly a stupid flag on your own property.
