connick wow in western north carolina

2:06

jobs every day according to

2:08

the national park service the blue ridge parkway

2:11

meanders for almost five hundred miles

2:13

between great smoky mountains national park

2:15

and shenandoah national okay

2:17

more than fifteen million people find themselves

2:20

on this roadway every year and i can

2:22

personally say i'm one of those people

2:24

because i used to live not far from shenandoah

2:26

and my husband and i have visited several times

2:28

since i moved away you can get on

2:31

and off a your state highways

2:33

and at those exits there's always restaurants

2:35

hotels and tourist attraction nodding

2:38

area that's really popular is north

2:40

the line as peace get in which sits about

2:42

twenty five miles southwest of asheville

2:45

the in is privately owned that operates

2:47

under a national park service contract

2:49

the main reason people stay there is one

2:52

because it's convenient and to it has

2:54

an observation deck that looks over the test

2:56

a national forest a breathtaking

2:58

less woodland filled with waterfalls trails

3:01

and wildlife the and at one point

3:03

or in the moniker the peak of the parkway

3:05

and over the years a quote has been marketed

3:08

alongside the nickname that says every

3:10

guest and employee leaves with a positive

3:12

murray or experience

3:14

in the summer of twenty eighteen was

3:16

not the case a young woman working

3:18

at the end did not have a positive experience

3:21

and the memory she made while walking a trail

3:23

with someone she thought was her friend was

3:26

the last the memory she ever made

3:28

there is are predators

3:50

on tuesday july two for twenty

3:52

eighteen forty one year old tiffany coleman

3:55

was texting with her younger stepsister and

3:57

former roommate sarah ls the

3:59

women had exchanging messages all day

4:01

long just catching up talking about life

4:03

and how seriously seasonal job at the piss

4:06

get in in north carolina was going deputy

4:08

without her home and seminal florida near

4:11

st petersburg and sarah had taken

4:13

a job as a pantry that for the summer in north

4:15

carolina that he'd started working at the

4:17

in in may and had about two months of

4:19

work under her belt and roughly three more

4:21

or less to go before the lodge closed the

4:23

see that and she'd return home to florida

4:26

there are had a pretty lengthy resume of working

4:28

sued service jobs while she'd been in college

4:30

and according to her friends she really knew her way

4:32

around a kitchen she was best known for making

4:35

great omelets and chocolate cake the

4:37

pantries a job at the end was a perfect

4:39

fit for sarah because she adored cooking

4:41

and she loved experiment in the kitchen

4:44

on most days at the end the kitchen was pretty

4:46

busy a theory could catch a break every

4:48

now and then and she'd slip tiffany attacked

4:50

so their conversation on that day

4:52

by intermittent but still pretty consistent

4:55

the women were ironing out plans to visit

4:57

together during a road trip tiffany was

4:59

planning to make maryland it

5:01

must reject any to stop in and see sarah

5:03

on our way back home to florida sometime

5:06

in late july or early august but

5:08

after exchanging a few messages throughout the

5:10

day around four o'clock tiffany

5:12

stop for the messages from sarah

5:14

altogether every cat tiffany

5:16

said after that went unanswered

5:19

the time tiffany wasn't too alarmed

5:22

again she and sarah had been sort of touching

5:24

throughout the whole day and tiffany figured

5:26

maybe sera had just gotten busy during your sister

5:29

or would pick up their conversation when she got

5:31

off work but hours went by

5:33

and that didn't happen meanwhile

5:35

in north carolina around seven pm

5:37

the general manager of the in along

5:39

with the in owner a guy named bruce

5:42

o'connell were in their offices when

5:44

a distraught twenty year old man came in

5:46

with some disturbing news the guy

5:48

told his bosses that his coworkers

5:50

sarah ellis was missing bruce

5:52

and a gm were totally taken aback by

5:54

this news and i asked the guy to slow

5:56

down and explain what he was talking about

5:59

the young man look the mail your to them so they

6:01

asked him to remind them who he was and

6:03

just go to his story one more time

6:05

the guy introduced himself as derek pendergraph

6:08

and he told him that he worked as a housekeeper in

6:10

the end he went on to explain that around

6:12

four o'clock he'd gone out on a hike with

6:14

sarah on a trail near the end simply

6:17

housing building a quick side note

6:19

here about forty to forty five seasonal

6:21

employees who worked at the end during that

6:23

summer lived in a building about two hundred

6:25

yards from the lodge there was a short trail

6:27

through the woods connecting that temporary housing

6:30

to the main grounds of the in branching

6:32

off that trail were several other trails

6:34

that weren't really designated there were just kind

6:36

of beaten path that employees visitors

6:38

often while derek said that shortly

6:40

after he and sarah got off work and started

6:43

on their hike it had begun to reign he

6:45

said at that point zero had turned back to

6:47

head towards the employee dorms but he

6:49

continued on hiking for another hour so

6:52

eventually he turned around to and when

6:54

he passed by the spot he last saw sarah

6:56

he noticed an umbrella and hat were laying

6:59

on the ground he said he felt like that was

7:01

really unusual so he started calling

7:03

out inserting the general area for sarah

7:05

when he didn't find her he picked up the stuff

7:07

again straight to the ends office to let

7:09

someone know she was missing according

7:12

to wm ways reporting bruce

7:14

in a general manager wasted no time

7:16

reporting what garrett's had told them to the local

7:18

authority

7:20

later told the news outlet that in the moment

7:22

everyone immediately assumed sarah had to

7:24

to the tumbler fallen somewhere and

7:26

was possibly injured they didn't think

7:28

of a worst case scenario like she'd

7:30

been abducted or anything like that bruises

7:33

call the police came in at seven thirty

7:35

pm that night and right away park

7:37

rangers with the park service and

7:39

a search and rescue team

7:40

7:42

7:44

started searching the grounds and three

7:46

7:50

discovery about

7:53

a half mile down and near as slope searchers

7:58

several feet off and embankment the

8:00

discrepancy in the source material about

8:02

the exact trail where the body was found

8:05

some sources say the victim was found right

8:07

near the footpath between the main in

8:09

and the employee dorms while other sources

8:11

say she was actually a half mile down a separate

8:14

unnamed path that had reportedly

8:16

led away from the employee dorms

8:18

8:21

accurate but regardless of the precise

8:23

location the body was discovered very

8:25

quickly after searches started for sarah

8:27

and it was apparent right away the woman's

8:30

death was no accident not

8:32

long after signing the body authorities were

8:34

8:36

that the deceased woman was in fact sarah

to settle his customers and employees fears

13:18

by hiring and night hand security guard

now is serious murder was somehow tied

members did speak to reporters with the citizen

19:05

times though and they indicated they were

19:07

convinced that sara's trusting the teacher

19:09

and kind heart for perhaps made her an easy

19:11

target for someone like direct had

19:13

taken advantage over rachel

19:15

her twin sister described sarah as funny

19:18

and kind and said she often tried to see

19:20

the good in everyone she came across

19:22

wait till said she believed sarah went hiking

19:24

with direct because she was trying to show and

19:26

kindness she told fox carol

19:28

the news quote she always tried

19:30

to be positive it to be waning and

19:32

she would be happy it was raining when she went

19:35

up the mountain that day but i know she was tried

19:37

to show this person something positive and

19:40

december twenty eighteen the case was

19:42

moving swiftly and the us attorney's

19:44

office for the western district and north carolina

19:47

made a big announcement something that

19:49

changed the high profile nature of hey

19:51

entirely

19:56

before

20:01

christmas and twenty eighteen federal

20:03

prosecutors announced in a press release

20:05

that they were upping the second degree murder charge

20:07

against derek to first degree murder

20:09

and the government was going to file additional

20:12

charges against him for aggravated

20:14

sexual abuse resulting in serious

20:16

day

20:17

the indictment said barracks options were

20:19

quote willfully deliberately

20:21

maliciously and with premeditation

20:23

and in the perpetration of and an attempt

20:25

to perpetrate aggravated sexual the

20:28

unclear

20:29

the wages the news reported that prosecutors

20:32

speculated that serious hearing impairment

20:34

made her a vulnerable target for direct on

20:36

the day they went hiking and more than likely

20:39

he taken advantage of that low out in the woods

20:41

together a big update that came

20:43

along with these enhanced charges was the

20:45

fact that the government now had the ability

20:47

to seek the death penalty against iraq

20:50

for months later in april twenty nine

20:52

teen the medical examiner publicly

20:54

released sarah's cause of death something

20:56

that had previously been kept under way the

20:59

any have ruled that serious pathology

21:01

showed she'd been strangled and suffered multiple

21:03

blows of what force trauma to her arms

21:05

and legs he'd also benedict

21:07

i'm a sexual assaults news reports

21:10

on his case don't go into specific detail

21:12

of whether or not authorities found dna

21:14

or seem and on sarah that much to direct

21:17

but even though they don't explicitly say it

21:19

i have to assume they had enough evidence

21:21

pointing to that or else they would not have filed

21:23

the additional charges against him regarding

21:26

the sexual assault by the time the

21:28

one year anniversary of the crime rolled around

21:30

in july twenty nineteen stage

21:43

any additional sexual assault count as

21:46

part of the oh he waved his right to ever

21:48

21:50

taken off the table according

21:52

to a b c thirteen is derek was

21:55

very stoic in the court room during his plea

21:57

mulder attended and wept openly as

22:04

he admitted to the brutal crime all of

22:06

serious family attended the hearing as well

22:08

and many of them told reporters after words

22:11

but despite all the pain derek had caused

22:13

them by take

22:14

the series life they believed he was

22:16

genuinely remorseful for his action

22:18

in february twenty twenty a judge sentenced

22:21

direct who was twenty two years old by that

22:23

point to realize terms without

22:25

the possibility of parole

22:29

the us attorney who prosecuted the case

22:32

22:34

systems will not bring back there are two

22:36

her family and friends you miss her to

22:38

think about her every day this is my

22:40

sincere hope that everyone impacted

22:43

by this heinous crime could find solace

22:45

in knowing that serious killer will never

22:47

walked free among us again and

22:50

according to mckenzie wickers reporting for

22:52

the asheville citizen times several

22:54

members osiris family attended their

22:56

accents insane but only tiffany komen

22:59

for stepsister caught up in smoke in

23:01

her victim impact statement tiffany record

23:03

for the court has he been texting was there

23:05

are the day ever murder and how the text messages

phone call she'd ever gotten in our whole lives

23:14

the very next day was something she'll never

23:17

forgot despite derek spoken

23:19

session and zero desire to fight

23:21

the charges against him his public defender

23:23

spoke at the sentencing to provide some

23:25

context as to why he made the terrible

23:28

choices he did lawyers

23:30

or derek was extremely regretful of his

23:32

action the gun sarah and said perhaps

23:34

one of the contributing factors as to why

23:36

he did it to the sound and his poor upbringing

23:39

and environment as a child the

23:41

federal judge presiding over the case agreed

23:44

that there were issues and barracks past that

23:46

likely contributed to his violent attack on

23:48

sarah but the judge did not make excuses

23:50

for him instead the judge

23:52

told the whole case quote among

23:55

the saddest in his the rear and close

23:58

24:00

would be liable lessons and given

24:02

access to substance abuse counseling

24:04

and treatment for sexual offender they

24:06

would know mentioned during any of the court proceedings

24:09

about any past a juvenile history derek

24:11

may have had court records for incidents

24:13

prior to his eighteenth birthday were sealed

24:15

from public record with left many people questioning

24:18

if they were warning signs and a young man's life

24:20

throughout his childhood the public was

24:22

left to speculate whether there had been red

24:25

flags that the iraq was capable of

24:27

such a violent crime red flags

24:29

that were there all along that no

24:31
