Tin foil says this is a plot by local RCMP to get more riding time in.
First I'd like to say thanks to Cam for stepping up and adjusting the article. Not only as he found out new information but also after speaking with the hiker. We have seen both sides. This news article is favoring the other side at this point. New agencies tend to post stories that will get more hits so maybe their reader base would favor that view point. From what I can see, it's between these two women to sort out their differences. It sound like the hiker is up for a resolution so I hope the two are able to discuss and come to terms.
So enough of the finger pointing supposed simmering tempers. Lets all enjoy the forest. There's always going to be a few people out there that mess stuff up and bad news sells but we can go past that.
