From my Post #151, I forgot to add this...

The slope where Levy's remains apparently were found is as steep as 45 degrees and lies about 100 yards uphill from Broad Branch Road and 40 yards downhill from a hiking trail. The slope is covered with ferns, fallen trees and a slippery carpet of dead leaves. Tall trees block out much of the sun, and poison ivy grows along the ground.

So her remains were actually closer to the trail at the top of the hill, then the bottom of it. It just shows us that the earlier media reports were really off. Somebody was tipping of press with false information... If I recall correctly they first reported that remains were found a FEW 100 yards from the trail located at the top of the hill.

I know those cadets did a crummy job in their search, but surely a decomposing body would have been pungent enough for even their less-than-adequate wander.

I'm still in doubt as to her actually meeting her demise in that park, especially now that the Walkman first reported found is no longer on the list.

The "hiking trail" is not the "jogging trail" at the top of the hill which is atleast 200 yards away. The article says nothing about "the top" of the ridge.
