Nature can feel like a sanctuary in May, Shenandoah is alive. Pink lady slippers bloom along shaded trails, waterfalls thunder with spring rain, and black bears wander with their newborn cubs. It's the kind of place where the world finally gets quiet enough to hear yourself.

That's what drew Julie Williams and Lolli Winans into Virginia's Shenandoah National park in the spring of 1996.
A
Julie was 24, from Minnesot, a geologist, a tennis champ and a woman who chased justice as much as she chased the Horizon. Lolly was 26, from Maine. Sharp, witted, adventurous, the kind of person who laughed quickly and often. They met the year before at Woodswomen, a program that created outdoor adventures for women looking for freedom in the wild.
C
Together, they found that freedom in each other. For Julie and Lally, the backcountry wasn't just a place to hike. It was where they could finally be themselves, mapping out a future, daring to imagine what might come next.

So when they set out with their golden retriever, Taj, it wasn't a casual camping trip. It was a carefully planned five night hike into the wilderness. A chance to explore, to breathe, to be.
C
But that may the sanctuary they sought became the backdrop for unthinkable violence.
A
When rangers reached their campsite off Skyline Drive, what they found would haunt Shenandoah and the nation.
C
The women's lives were brutally cut short. Their story quickly became more than a murder in a national park. It was investigated as a possible hate crime, a warning whispered across trails and campgrounds.
A
Investigators thought they had the man. They thought they knew the motive. But the evidence refused to stay quiet.
C
Then, in 2024, a single DNA match revealed a story no one expected.

This is a story of who Julie and Lollie were, the love they shared, the freedom they found, and why they must be remembered. I'm Sarah Reid.

And I'm Andrea Clyde. Join us for season three of Sequestered.

Episode: Season 3 Trailer – The Shenandoah Murders of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans
In this gripping season 3 trailer, the SEQUESTERED podcast introduces listeners to the tragic story of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, two women whose 1996 backcountry camping trip in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park ended in a brutal and haunting double homicide. Nearly three decades later, silence is broken by a groundbreaking 2024 DNA match that reignites the investigation. The season promises a deep examination of both the women’s lives and a search for the truth that evaded authorities—and their families—for years.
