BLAIRSVILLE, Ga.: Authorities found the body of a missing hiker Monday, hours after a judge denied bond to the man accused of kidnapping her in the mountains of northern Georgia.
Investigators were also examining whether the death and the disappearance of two elderly hikers in October in North Carolina were related.

if anyone deserves the needle this guy does, they are also looking at another case from a year ago... what a POS.

Sad story. At least the murderer is caught
It’s definitly against the law to defend yourself in a National Park, see.
I am still wondering if this guy is going to turn out to be a serial killer.
Greta just showed the press conference - they made a statement that Hilton led them to the body tonight at 7:30. Up til then- he hadn’t cooperated with police at all.
Maybe the police took the death penalty off the table in exchange for the location??
I've been wondering if he'd be tied to any other disappearances. Wouldn't surprise me.
Needle? He should be beaten to death with a brick.
Chances are that this scumbag will die of old age in prison, enjoying TV and various other privileges. To bad he didn’t do this in Texas.
Not in Georgia...
Been following this since the news came out. Sorry to hear it, not surprised.
Get a rope.
One can only hope so.
My husband and two sons went into Dawson Forest on Saturday morning to do some survival stuff for my son’s 4-H project. The road to the place where he wanted to go was blocked by a Sheriff’s car. When my husband questioned him, he denied that they were there about Meredith but now we know that that wasn’t true. I am thankful that God protected my boys from that and thankful that the family has this closure. Not that it will ever really end for them. God bless them all.
What a shame. RIP. Prayers for the family.
“Paging Greta! Greta Van Susteren, please report to Georgia immediately for Tragedy TV!”
Was she in a national park or a state park? I’d thought it was the latter. Sadly, in Georgia it’s illegal to defend yourself in both, although we expect to change that soon.
Not that it should matter to the murderer - he needs to fry regardless.
That bastard!
Dawson Forest is City of Atlanta Wildlife Management Land
The needle? If he did it he deserves to have his neck wrung like that of a chicken.
