I used to love hiking. It was my favorite thing. I’ve been too scared to do it the last four years.

even with a dog, they can hurt them too

@@panther666 again, not everyone has people to go with. There are hiking groups like the sierra club, they had night hikes in the city on the boardwalk and in Griffith park. The people I went with here went over 5 miles so I was stuck it was awful. I never went again.

[@QueenBee-kx3sg]

That makes me so sad, do not let anyone take hiking from you. You just need to keep your head on a swivel, don’t wear headphones, and bring pepper spray or bear spray. If you’re comfortable and legally allowed, a firearm is never a bad idea.

@@gjh9299 I was going to try this but I love going at my own pace and I’m not interested in new friends rn 😂 I changed my walk to the beach and go to a life guard stretch. I bring my service dog too but man I miss the woods and long quiet trails.

@@QueenBee-kx3sg thanks! Yeah I always have either pepper or bear spray and I have a dog but maybe I’ve been watching too much true crime recently idk I should try it again

Being toothless is a tip off straight away. You got him 👌

Lol

Why didn’t they help her…

This is not the first time this creep has been wanted for similar things. Why is he out of prison?

[@I.pray.to.George.Carlin]

Oh God no. This is why as a female I would never hike alone wayyy too many creeps and weirdos out there!

[@nfbconnect]

Never hike alone if your any gender.

[@gjh9299]

this is not right, women are not the ones who should be punished because of criminals. There are creeps everywhere. You may choose one as your hiking partner. I live in Joshua Tree and people go missing or are found dead regularly but it's not declared as suspicious.

[@melikemusic753]

Start walking the city streets at night then...

[@dixonpinfold2582]

I feel unsafe just being in this comments section with members of the toothless community.

[@melikemusic753]

What does him being TOOTHLESS have to do with anything??? smh

[@chriskrausesmovie]

Has to do with his sweet Jesus ...he pulled his teeth out....he's a nut

[@jenn823]

I agree & can see mentioning it in the clip but to have it in the title is almost making a mockery out of the case, taking away the attention of the victim and trying to add a pun into a horrible scenario. Makes me wonder if they even have the right suspect or are just discriminating against a toothless guy due to his criminal history

[@chachab9239]

🥹. Ohhhh no!

[@PerfectaRhyme]

I love hiking. Waiting by the bushes and then pounce on a lady who wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. It's what the killers said when they waited. The toothless man said: "I don't have to chew human flesh" it's soft like oatmeal? Wow amazing feasting. Cannibal

[@TranzVangal]

Who goes hiking alone in the mountains especially a female. foolish women that do that and put themselves in danger :/

[@gjh9299]

why is it always on the victim to change their lifestyles? How about it not be ok to kill innocent women/people? Stop blaming the victim. Do you have 6 people to go everywhere with?

@@gjh9299 Because you don't go into the woods without protection of some kind.

@@giii7599 Women walk the city streets at night. That's WAY more dangerous smh

@@melikemusic753 Thanks to a certain element it is and women should arm themselves for that walk as well.

She was not alone, just no one realized she was in trouble.
