On March 20, 2017, "the Voice in the Mountains", Peggy Jackson's autobiography, was made available on Amazon.com as a trade paperback. It joins Robert Cox's "Deadly Pursuit" and Ken Peiffer's limited edition "Trail of Terror" (published by the Antietam Historical Society, Waynesboro, PA) in documenting the Mountain Man incident, although it contains substantial differences.

On October 16, 2008, Peggy Ann Bradnick Jackson made her first major public appearance as the featured speaker at the Fulton County Historical Society's Fulton Fall Folk Festival to a standing room only crowd. She made a return appearance there on Thursday, October 14, 2010. She has made other public appearances since. On Sunday, October 16, 2011, a marker was erected at the cemetery in Shade Gap, Pennsylvania, to honor slain FBI Agent Terry Ray Anderson. Peggy Ann was present at the ceremony. Peggy Ann is now retired. She was featured speaker at the Fulton County Historical Society Spring Banquet on April 16, 2016, the 50th anniversary year of the kidnapping. On Tuesday, May 10, 2016, she appeared at a ceremony in Carlisle, PA, to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Terry Ray Anderson.

An NBC movie of the week, Cry in the Wild: The Taking of Peggy Ann, was produced about the kidnapping and first shown on May 6, 1991. It starred Megan Follows as Peggy Ann Bradnick, David Morse as Hollenbaugh, David Soul as Agent Anderson, and Taylor Fry as Carol Jean Bradnick.

The true crime book Deadly Pursuit by Robert V. Cox details the incident. Robert Cox won the Pulitzer Prize in 1967 for Local General or Spot News Reporting "For his vivid deadline reporting of a mountain manhunt that ended with the killing of a deranged sniper who had terrorized the community."

John Madara, David White, and Jimmy Wisner wrote a song called "Eight Days at Sha-de Gap" in 1967, sung by Russ Edwards and recorded on the Decca label.

The kidnapping of Peggy Ann Bradnick took place near Shade Gap, Pennsylvania, on May 11, 1966. Bradnick, who was 17 years old at the time, was kidnapped by William Diller Hollenbaugh and held captive for seven days before she was rescued by Pennsylvania State Police and the FBI at a farm in Burnt Cabins, Pennsylvania. Her ordeal made national headlines, and the search was the largest manhunt in United States history at the time. One FBI agent, Terry R. Anderson, was shot and killed in pursuit of Hollenbaugh.

On May 11, 1966, as Peggy Ann and her five siblings were walking home from the school bus stop, Hollenbaugh intercepted them, grabbing Peggy Ann and dragging her into the woods.

At the Rubeck farm, searchers converged on Hollenbaugh and Peggy Ann. Hollenbaugh opened fire with a pistol, ducked behind a corncrib, and ran across the road to the porch of a farmhouse. Two shots rang out simultaneously—one fired by Larry Rubeck (age 15) from the farmhouse, the other by a state policeman. Hollenbaugh was fatally wounded. At first it was thought that Larry Rubeck had killed Hollenbaugh, and newspapers published that afternoon (May 18, 1966) and the following morning reported it as such. It was later determined that State Trooper Grant H. Mixell had fired the fatal shot.

Peggy Ann Bradnick told her story to the Saturday Evening Post, which published it in their July 16, 1966, edition.

Hollenbaugh claimed to Peggy Ann that he was responsible for several incidents prior to kidnapping her. In August 1964, he broke into the home of Mrs. Christine Devinney, shot a rifle out of her hand, then bound her wound and left. Shortly thereafter, a woman driving on a back road was blocked by a pile of logs, whereupon a man fired a shot, breaking her baby's nursing bottle. On April 16, 1965 (Good Friday), Ned Price surprised a trespasser on his property, was shot, and lost a leg. These incidents and others led to this sniper being known as "The Mountain Man".

Peggy Ann was born August 16, 1948, the oldest of six children of Eugene and Mildred Bradnick. At the time she was kidnapped, she had a brother Jim (age 16); a sister Mary Louise (11); twin brother and sister Donnie and Debbie (9); and a sister Carol Jean (8). The family lived near Shade Gap, Pennsylvania, a small village in Huntingdon County. Peggy Ann attended Southern Huntingdon County High School.

Hollenbaugh had been convicted of burglary in 1939 and spent the next 20 years in prison and an insane asylum. In 1962, he came to Shade Gap and was known as "The Bicycle Man" or "Bicycle Pete" because he rode a bicycle all around the area.
