The next day, two park rangers were out on the mountain looking for some wild Ridgeback hogs that had been spotted in the area when they received an APB about a young woman, Ann Alderson, who had gone missing on the mountain. According to the bulletin, Ann had told her parents she'd be back by six that night, but they waited until the following day to report her missing.

Search and rescue teams, along with family and friends, had combed the mountain that night looking for Anne, but found no sign of her. It wasn't until the next day, October 15th, that Anne's body was discovered in an area of overgrowth, about a quarter mile from the amphitheater where she had last been seen by John Henry. Oh, that's awful.

Oh, that's awful.
Unlike the other two victims, none of Anne's clothing or jewelry had been taken, except for one gold earring. Yeah. That's so chilling. She had been sexually assaulted, and the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the right side of her head. And it was from a, quote, high-powered weapon, like a rifle.

Although she was clothed when her body was discovered, investigators believe that her attacker redressed her after, so she was undressed and redressed. That's even scarier. Yeah. That afternoon, the sheriff's department shut down Mount Tam to the public, and detectives searched the area for evidence and found, among other things, a metal fragment from the bullet jacket and Ann's underwear.

which appeared to contain semen that the investigators believed was likely left by her killer. Right. Although DNA testing was obviously not available at the time, this sample was analyzed by lab technicians and determined to be, quote, a type consistent with about 6% to 8% of the general population. Well, at least that's small. That's a small portion. Something, but it's like, ugh.

Now, on December 2nd, 1980, about six weeks after Anne's murder, Teams of park rangers were searching the mountain looking for 25-year-old Shauna May and 22-year-old Diane O'Connell, who had been reported missing a few days earlier. My God. So many missing people. So they're looking for Shauna May and Diane O'Connell, and they made a horrific discovery.

So O'Connell and May had gone out for a walk along the national seashore at Point Reyes on November 28th. And when they failed to return home that afternoon, they were tourists, so people were like, where the fuck would they have gone? Right. They were immediately reported missing. It was in a heavily wooded and sparsely traveled area on Mount Tam where they were found.

It was in a heavily wooded and sparsely traveled area on Mount Tam where they were found.
They were both, unfortunately, murdered. They were nude and had been shot in the head, both of them. Gosh. Based on the initial evaluation, it looked like Diane O'Connell had been strangled by, quote, something like a narrow piece of cord of wire. And a pair of women's underwear had been shoved in her mouth.

There was no evidence to indicate that O'Connell had been raped. Shauna May, on the other hand, had been sexually assaulted before being shot, and there were ligature marks around one of her wrists, which indicated she had been bound at some point. Yeah. Now, the discovery of two more murder victims on Mount Tam was bad enough.
