About this episode
The episode discusses the murder of Timothy Blyth during a hunting trip in Florida, exploring the circumstances and differing accounts of the incident.
Timothy Blyth was scouting for a hunt in Florida’s St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge when a chance encounter turned deadly. What started as an argument over access and safety escalated into gunfire. Minutes later, Blyth was found dead in the road. The man he’d been arguing with was gone, along with the weapon he'd used. Witnesses described an aggressive confrontation. Evidence tied the suspect to the scene. But his version of events told a different story: self-defense. Whichever version of events you believe, one thing is clear: Tim Blyth's death left a father without a son, and a group of hunting buddies without the friend they loved. Want more Blood Trails?
