The opening sequence is creepy. The music they use fits perfect but creepy.

20 years is young for a serial killer???? I hate it when soundbytes of nonsense are used to prove a case. Ted Bundy killed his first victim in college and Jeffrey Dahlmer killed his first when he was 15 years old. Charles Starkweather was 20 when he and Carol (she was 15) started their spree.

Does anybody know if the boyfriend of her friend Jordi was questioned? He knew Madison was left there alone maybe he went back to try something and Madison rejected him because he was her friends boydpfriend and he killed her. I don't know just a thought but it was sad she was left alone knowing the reputation of that area. I hope and pray for her parents something is found out.

The RCMP need to send a young woman (with hidden weapons and a hidden mic/camera) walking down the highway late at night and see what happens. Maybe they can catch someone.

What REALLY creepy is that the most frequently repeated commercial is for Viagra, with a lone "rugged outdoorsman" persona, shown driving along a desterted highway just like Highway 16, with not another person or human settlement in sight, and jogging along a logging road (for exercise, or away from something he left there?)in a forest amazingly like those in Oregon and along the "Highway of Tears". Advertising "you finally know what you're made of" and "let nothing get in your way" in the context of restoring your sexualy manhood if you thought it might be lost? Really! Are we supposed to think this is aimed at good men who feel emasculated at not being able to help--or men who feel weak and lacking in guts or cojones enough to take what they want, too, when they want it--letting nothing get in their way? Who fantasize --just a little! just occasionally!--about being a fearless predator themselves? Shame on you, CBS, for greedily allowing this repugnant association of "restoring your male virility" with rape and murder.

This region of Canada, although beautiful, is rough-neck country. Consisting of logging, trucking (and other related occupations) that attracts transient and migrant workers from all over the country. The list of potential suspects is endless...and is probably not just 1 or 2 perps, but could be long list of everything from hardcore serial killers to that just a night of hard drinking by local working stiff's gone horribly wrong.

In the case of Madison Scott, staying out at the lake after the party had broken up, and her friends had gone home, was extremely poor judgment on her part. Which I suspect is likely the case in most of these murders. Hitch hiking is like playing Russian Roulette...and makes no difference whether you're with a friend or not. The same could be said about picking up a hitch hiker...you never know what kind of person is getting into your vehicle.

Could the killer - or killers - be using the Israel Keyes method? Read his observations. Let them come to you. Thus, the victims do most of the work of concealment. This remote location, which seems to have a regular influx of campers and hikers, is ideally suited to application of the Keyes method.
