Hi Park enthusiasts, I'm your host, Delia Diambra, and the story I'm going to tell you about today

is a tale as old as time. It's about the real life consequences of what can happen when

someone lives two separate lives.

When a person chooses to lie to the people closest to them,

and then try and get rid of the evidence of that lie and hope no one finds out.

It takes place in Olympic National Forest in Washington State.

This pristine landscape sits roughly two hours west of the city of Seattle and is full of unique geography and diverse species of wildlife and plants.

It has everything from trails in the woods to lakes and meadows to massive glacial peaks to rainforest ecosystems and beaches with tide pools.

If you're lucky you can even catch a glimpse of whales reaching the surface of the ocean,

A few yards downhill from the start of the trailhead, they spotted what looked like a person lying face down in some vegetation on a slope.

The hiker called out to try and get the person on the ground's attention, but didn't get a response. They hollered again, but still nothing.

The person on the ground didn't stir or show any signs that they'd heard the hiker calling for them.

They just laid their motionless.

Worried that the person might need some help,

the hiker inched closer to get a better look.
