| “ | Four Months On - Hikers still missing The search continues for Ann Radcliffe & Edward Benson (pictured) who were reported missing 4 months ago after they failed to return from a camping trip. Despite multiple thorough searches of the areas surrounding North Kill, authorities have been unable to uncover any evidence that the two hikers were ever there in the first place. Though a small number of conspiratorialists suggest their disappearance could be some sort of government cover-up, most speculate that they fell victim to an animal attack, possibly a bear or cougar. Local wildlife expert Helen Pratt, however, is certain this isn't the case, as there are too many inconsistencies when compared with the history of documented attacks: "Though it doesn't happen often, when a bear does attack a human there are usually quite obvious signs left behind - blood, remains or torn clothes and belongings." Helen went on to suggest an alternative fate for the missing hikers: "The local area can be treacherous if not properly traversed. It's far more likely that Benson and Radcliffe were washed into fast-moving rapids." The families of the missing pair, on the other hand, dismiss these speculations, adamant that Ann and Ed were experienced hikers who always prepared for any eventuality when out on trails. They remain hopeful that Ann & Edward are still alive and well, and urge anyone who may have seen them to reach out and get in touch with any information they may have. |
