The affidavit for Jordan’s arrest provides new details about the weekend incident, which stretched over two counties on the trail, within the George Washington and Jefferson national forests. The four hikers reported that they were first approached by the man on Friday night in Smyth County, Va., and that he was “acting disturbed and unstable, and was playing his guitar and singing,” according to the affidavit by FBI Special Agent Micah J. Childers.
The man then returned to the campsite, and one of the two remaining hikers argued with him, the affidavit states. The attacker then stabbed a male hiker in the upper body, while the female hiker ran, Childers wrote.
