Hi, Park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Delia DeAmbra, and the case I'm going to share with you today is a wild one.

Wild for so many reasons, but for me, I think it's probably one of the most depraved, violent, and senseless stories of murder I've researched so far this season.

It involves three suspects, all incredibly young people, who chose to mar beautiful recreation areas in California's San Francisco Bay area, with two heartless murders.

Their homicide or rampage involved a strange love triangle, drugs, guns, and stolen cars that left authorities following a trail of breadcrumbs far into the Pacific Northwest.

The path of murder started in Golden Gate Park in downtown San Francisco. This park is super popular and each year hosts millions of visitors.

It's a haven of nature, historic buildings, and special events all set in the heart of one of America's major cities.

One minute you can be crossing a busy street with traffic and the next year surrounded by beautiful landscape.

I actually went here on my honeymoon back in 2019 and loved that I was surrounded by nature but could easily buy food or drink from a street vendor if I wanted to.

The other park tied to this story is the Loma Alta Open Space Preserve just north of Golden Gate Park.

This spot is much more secluded. A lot of people use the trails there to get away from city life and go hiking and camping.

At the highest point you can stand almost 1,200 feet up and look down into the Bay area. During the summer Loma Alta gets super hot and there are few places to find shade so most people don't stay all day long.

They go for short morning or evening walks.

In October 2015, Sean Angle, Morrison Lampley, and Lila Alligood took two lives in these park areas and forever changed to families.

And how Northern Californians look at youth wandering the streets of San Francisco.

This is Park Predators.

On Sunday, October 4, 2015, Isabelle Trimbley and a man named Benoit were messaging online.

Isabelle and Benoit had known each other for years and their families were really close.

They were talking back and forth about how Isabelle's 23 year old daughter Audrey Carrey's backpacking trip was going.

Audrey had been gone for over a week and Isabelle had been keeping in touch with her regularly as she traveled up America's West Coast.

Audrey had left her and her mother's home in the suburbs of Montreal in mid-September to spend two weeks adventuring around California and the Pacific Northwest.

Isabelle knew this trip was something her daughter had been planning for months and because Audrey was somewhat of a free spirit and what her mother called, quote, a hippie on the side, end quote,

Isabelle knew the adventure was going to be right up Audrey's alley.
