I guess the backpackers didn't see the big deal in hitchhiking. I met a woman who 10 years earlier was brutally bashed, raped and is now disfigured (friend was murdered) due to a no big deal USA travelling hitchhiking experience. The ones made public are not the only ones occurring.

yes there's aren't a lot of psycho murderers around but there are other dangers apart from being murdered by a psycopath and why wouldn't weirdos scout through a climbing forum when there's such trusting young people around who are willing to meet them at the end of a dirt road???
