As accused killer Eugene Palmer is most likely wandering or hiding somewhere within Harriman State Park, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is advising patrons to refrain from hiking in backcountry of the park this entire weekend due to the ongoing, multi-jurisdictional police search.

Park authorities will also close Beaver Pond Campground, not far from Palmer’s residence, until further notice. To find alternative recreational opportunities, visit www.nysparks.com.
