'They Called Him Mostly Harmless': Watch the Trailer About the Mysterious Appalachian Trail Hiker

The upcoming Max documentary explores the life, death and infamy of an Appalachian trail hiker.

The documentary, which premieres on Feb. 8, centers on a mysterious Appalachian Trail hiker who was found dead on July 23, 2018, in Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida, and whose body remained unidentified for two years. Following the body's recovery, a massive amateur internet presence attempted to uncover the hiker's identity -- in a docuseries sleuthing collective similar to that seen in Netflix's Don’t F**ck with Cats and Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. The hiker was ultimately identified as Vance John "Vaejor" Rodriguez, though he was better known by his trail names: "Mostly Harmless," Denim, and Ben Bilemy.
