      My theory (admittedly only speculation) is that the killer was driving by and saw her alone in the parking lot. He then forced her at knifepoint up the trail. This was the modus operandi of the Connecticut valley serial killer in the 80s. The Diretissima parking lot is visible from route 16. However, it's not visible from the nearby Joe Dodge lot. In a Quebec podcast on the tragedy they speculate that Louise parked there to avoid parking fees in the main lot. There are relatively few visitors to the Whites the week before Thanksgiving, so that and the Diretissima lot being quiet unfortunately gave the killer more chance to go unnoticed .

This location in N-H has a lot of tourists but hiking alone in these wooden areas brings nevertheless some risk even if something bad rarely happens. (I made a lot of hiking in high mountain in Austria but it is a completely different environment and I never had to fear for my security even if I was miles away from the nearest shelter: nobody can never count on being alone or out of sight).

    Is there a reason they believe she hiked the Direttisima Trail over the Lost Pond trail? From what I understand this assumption was only due to her body being found at it's junction. If she was hiking from the Pinkham Notch center down to her vehicle which was parked near or at the Glen Ellis Falls trailhead it's still very possible she hiked down the roughly 1 mile trail to her vehicle by night fall. It would already or be starting to get dark at this point so she might have been changing out of her hiking shoes and into her regular shoes to drive. I honestly feel like given that particular trailheads history with break-ins she might have been mugged in the parking lot and ran for her life up the Glen Boulder Trail (this is all speculative). If she was being mugged and ran then when he/they caught up to her on trail and stabbed her this would explain why her car keys were missing but the vehicle wasn't stolen and why her bag went missing as well yet her hiking shoes were still in her vehicle. It's horrible what happened to her, truly horrible. If the killer was also a thief it's likely he'd return to the area to break into vehicles again. I wonder if any criminals breaking into cars were ever later arrested from this location or another parking area near it. I also wouldn't rule out that she didn't hike the lost pond trail yet. The taking of the green sleeping bag is very odd, unless it was in her bag that also went missing.

    God bless Louise for fighting that SOB. I hope she did some damage. SOMEONE went home scratched and bloody that day. Which means they were most likely seen (and possibly questioned) by someone -most likely a family member. From what I understand, DNA can now be traced to family members, so if the killer has a family member who was arrested or did one of those DNA nationality tests, they can find a match and use the Process of Elimination to pinpoint the murderer. I really hope justice will be served. I'm sure the family would also like to know why this person did what they did to this nice lady. Rest in Peace Louise! ❤

They told us it wasn’t the grizzlies they were worried about but aggressive Sasquatch and Dogman. They instructed us to never hike or go into the outback. Without high caliber defensive weapons. They also warned us to be cautious of other people. There are social-paths stalking victims in the isolated outback and they can not provide security. What a world we live in🇺🇸🇨🇦😎

Certainly those travel restrictions would have been affecting this Canadienne citizen in New Hampshire, 4 days after the attacks.

I would think maybe even lurked around the parking lot to make sure theres only one car left and saw her walking alone onto the trail and followed her. Whoever it was, must be a local.
