  • My crazy story from the evening:

    Getting ready to mow, flipping threw the tv channels, and on Lifetimes "I survived" there is my neighbor, Scotty Johnson. Was camping on the Appalachian trail with a friend. A guys shows up a their camp, they feed him, after dinner he pulls out a gun and commences shooting them. They get away, drive down the mountain road with scotty steering, while holding a finger in the gunshot hole in his neck, and telling his buddy, who is blinded by blood, when to break and accelerate. Both spend time in the hospital in critical conditon, both recover. I'm out in the yard ready to mow, and here comes Scotty, who I just saw on tv. I've talked to Scotty many times since the shooting, and the story is chilling coming from him. He tells me his 55 year old brother, a $500,000 a year stock broker, slipped in the bathtub, broke his neck and died. That was crazy.

    True story. Top that.

    Yes, unfortunately Marty passed away just the other day. Very sad. The story about Scott and Sean is almost too unbelievable to believe, but it's true. I've known them both practically all my life.

    Let me tell you, when the shooting happened, I heard about it and had been in Alabama on business. I got back and Beamon came down and asked if I heard about the shooting. I told him I had, and he asked if I was any relationship to the shooter, Randall Smith, also of Pearsiburg. I told him no, I wasn't. Then he looked at me and said, "you do know that was my boy he shot, don't you?" I honestly couldn't speak, and struggled to get a breath for a moment. What do you say?

    Marty, as you know, took the fall some time ago. I didn't know him, but my wife and her sisters knew him well. I was taking out trash Wenesday night, and Beamon came over and told me they were just waiting word on Marty, he wasn't going to make it. We talked awhile. I went in and cried. His pain was overwhelming to me. That family has been through it.

  • Smitty, I saw that episode a couple of months ago. Survival instincts are pretty amazing. If those guys had panicked, they would not be here.

    Count, it would chill you to the bone to hear the account first hand. It's surreal.

  • Wish i could have caught that on :( I've got about half the dateline NBC story on DVR. Ive tried to find other interviews and stuff on the web and have pretty much came up empty, except for a few roanoke times articles. I grew up in that area and spent quite a lot of time fishing and hiking up there, I also remember hearing stories about Randall Lee Smith (LR) and read the book a several years back.

    If you're referring to Jess Carr's book "Murder on the Appalachian Trail" I read that one too. That's a pretty old book though. Seems like I read it in about 1988 or so, not too long after the first murders committed by Smith. At any rate, Scott posted a recent Washington Times article on his Facebook page:

    Unfortunately that asshole Randall Smith lived 3 doors up from me when I was a child. I still remember them coming to arrest him when I was a kid. This just proves that murderer's should never be let out and the death penalty should be the verdict for all cold blodded murders.
