Episode Description

On a quiet August night in 2009, Virginia Tech students Heidi Childs and David Metzler drove out to the peaceful, wooded stretch of Caldwell Fields in the Jefferson National Forest—an area known for stargazing, campfires, and its serene beauty. By morning, the young couple was dead. Their lives were cut short in a brutal and unexplained attack that continues to haunt the New River Valley.
In this episode of Mountain Murders, we revisit one of Southwest Virginia’s most heartbreaking and enduring mysteries.
