Viking Mountain is the last road between me and the North Carolina state line. It is far from our city of Greeneville and response time is likely slow. I have lived hear 27 years and have heard various stories about Viking 'Insurance Holler' for getting rid of vehicles, murder, and drug crimes out that way. Very beautiful area in the day time. Wouldn't go near it at night!

Greene County authorities still looking for woman last seen on Viking Mountain

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) — Greene County authorities are continuing to search for a woman who was last seen last month on Viking Mountain. The Greene County Sheriff’s Department is trying to…

“There were some hikers on the Appalachian Trail that actually spotted a female when they were going down by the vehicle that appeared to be hiding, trying to avoid the hikers,” Beverly said. “And we believe that to be Jennifer.”

[...]

“The March 22nd incident, the male acquaintance had warrants on him and was arrested at the scene,” Beverly said.

“It wasn’t warrants from Greene County. It was a different county and he was released from that county. And I guess through conversations, she’s still hasn’t contacted any family since March 22nd.”

Beverly says the vehicle is still out in the woods.

Multiple hikers had discussed a white van that appeared to be stuck on what they described as a side access trail to the Appalachian Trail near the top of Camp Creek Bald. The van is reportedly the car that Jennifer Elliott called her family to report being stuck on March 22 of this year.

Officers were not able to locate her at the time, and she has not been seen or heard from since that date according to the family. Her vehicle was photographed and posted to Facebook with a comment that it was located off the roadway on what appeared to be a connector trail to the Appalachain Trail. Detective Toby Price with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department said that that vehicle was going to be towed by the Forest Service.

The fact that she was trying to hide from hikers leads me to think she didn't think she was in particular danger from her male companion (or she would have sought their help) but either it was a mental health issue or drugs that may have made her react that way. Perhaps they will find some clues if LE searches her car. Missing Woman’s Car To Be Towed From Viking Mountain

I wonder why she had driven all the way out there anyway?

I wonder if she called her Mom from the car or the woods?

She may have 2 middle names, like my kids.

A group of volunteer members of rescue squads from Greene and surrounding counties are slated to conduct a search Saturday on Viking Mountain for a woman reported missing last week.

*****
Elliott and her boyfriend had traveled up Viking Mountain and were stuck off a road not normally used for vehicular traffic, Price (Det. Sgt) stated.

“It’s not a road for vehicles, but walking only,” said Price. “It’s almost to the Appalachian Trail.”

The van was less than 100 yards from the road, Price stated.

“Her boyfriend said they were living in the van that was found off the road,” Price said.

“The boyfriend said they both participated in drug use. We don’t know her mental state” at the time of her disappearance, stated Price.

*****
“I’m not suspecting any foul play,” though not ruling it out entirely, said Price.

It makes sense to cover thoroughly the last place she was known to be. So, I am very happy to read about this search. Plus, a few years ago, another man vanished from Viking Mountain - his car was found, but I don't believe he's ever been heard from or seen again. 34-year-old Matthew James Smith was reported missing on Nov. 11, 2018 according to the Burke County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina. IIRC, he was known to hike alone. (NC man still missing from Viking Mountain in Greene County.)

This is very rugged territory and takes a special kind of person to be able to conduct searches there or even navigate the terrain.

I personally doubt Elliott would still be on Viking, but it needed to be searched just in case she had never been able to leave back in March.

The reasonable guess is that at 31 she leads the life she wants without much contact with family. She's an adult, and it is her choice.

But how difficult it must be for her family, and the Smith family.
