John and Jill were trip leaders with YMCA Storer Camps outside of Jackson, Michigan.  Together and separately they held leadership roles in numerous Camp sponsored mountain climbing and hiking expeditions out west.

One of their favorite spots was the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming.    This picture shows that Ewing was in pretty good shape in the early 1980's.  In fact, Ewing has always stayed in top form from his regular mountain trips.  But Judy Coltrain described a large, heavy man who attacked her.  Her police report states that the rapist felt "soft, like someone who never exercises."  This comment was never fully explored with the jury.

Eskridge tried to make a case out of Ewing's benign encounter with Patti Morris in 1984 by linking him with the man who attacked Coltrain.  But Pattie described Ewing accurately:  a "man in good physical condition."
