Look at this LE dashcam video of Hilton.

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/15005616/detail.html
This was taken approximately 1 week after the Bryant couple disappeared. He is wearing a black knit hat. There was a woman that disappeared in Florida, and her dismembered body was discovered in Apalachicola park just a while back. This man used her ATM card 3 times and he was wearing a black knit cap. I know that they are investigating this already, but thought that I'd throw that out there. What an evil, evil man.

Yes, he is evil to the core. Just seeing his picture on tv, he reminds me of that John Couey, the _ _ _ that killed Jessica Lunsford, and buried her alive in a trash bag - with her favorite stuffed animal. I’m needing kleenex, now. Prayers to the family, loved ones and friends of Meredith Emerson.

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is both sinful and tyrannical."

What do you suppose Jefferson would have thought about forced taxation used to promote the defense of career criminals who prey upon the families of such men?

I think the writers of the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights would be rolling over in their graves, right now, with what has happened to our country, and those precious words they so painstakingly wrote.

Thanks for the ping! Such a sad story. I’m glad they were able to recover her body and that the suspect is in custody!

Yes, yorkie, I think he looks like Couey, too. I can’t imagine what her family is going through. So senseless, and then to mutilate her like a wild animal. And to THINK that this piece of garbage is afraid of the death penalty.

Looks like you hit the nail on the head. Latest reports state that’s exactly what happened here, although they did say that if other jurisdictions bring charges on the other murders they may go for the death penalty.

I recall from the 90's hearing of 2 or 3 bodies (of women) in similar condition found in the wintertime near Gwinnett Mall off I-85 north of Atlanta. I don't believe those murders were solved.

I bet this guy has some more history to unravel.

The death penalty is off the table in exchange for him leading them to the body.

Maybe the prosecutors had their fingers crossed....or couldn't’t they just shred the agreement? Feed this guy to the lions, and give the lions some Alka-sletzer for indigestion.

Probably right, someone doesn’t just decide to do this one day without a history.

This girl just from the picture with the dog, it makes you realize, that could have been my daughter. And then that poor girl who was inquiring about babysitting on Craigslist. The number of these cases is just too many to mention.

Just heard on the local news that they have tied him to a murder of a woman in Florida. I’m sure there are many more.

Yes, and that woman was dismembered when found. Check this out:

from here the 2nd "potential witness" pic to the killing of little Levi, was allegedly driving a 1980 to 1985 Toyota truck with a white camper shell over the bed of vehicle. Please scroll to 2nd drawing:

2nd drawing

Here are the stills of an ATM bank video where money was being withdrawn from the Florida woman's account, and the guy was driving an old Toyota pickup. (he's wearing some kind of mask, but his stature sure could be Hilton. ACK! Pics here:

Video stills

Also, I found a Gary Hilton that was living with 2 other men in Leon County, Florida, and they were evicted from a residence. According to court records, it was in 2000. But, I'm not sure if it's the same Gary Hilton and I have no way of checking. Here just enter is first and last name and search:

Georgia caught an evil, evil man!

Forgot to mention that a poster at the Zimbio site saw Hilton at a park in East Bradford, PA. in Aug or Sept:

"I ran into Hilton last Aug or Sept(???) 2007 at a park in East Bradford Twp, PA (near West Chester). He was parked at a trail-head and appeared to have spent the night in his white Astro van. He had many blankets or sleeping bags hung over a fence - as if he was airing them out. I remember wondering why the local police did not notice him, especially since his Georgia license plate was out of place and his appearance was wierd. I wondered how he traveled so far when he appeared as though he was homeless. I thought he was perhaps a Vietnam vet and perhaps received disability payments. He did not appear to be someone who could hold a job. I am very sorry I did not call the police at the time I saw him. I do not know whether the authorities had any idea Hilton had traveled as far as Pennsyvania. I wish I had said something."

Are there any missing hikers in that area?

Yes, the perverts are roaming the country free attacking women and people along the way.

From today's AJC:

Tuesday, Union County District Attorney Stan Gunter told The Associated Press that authorities had agreed not to seek the death penalty against Hilton if he led them to Emerson's body, which he did.

Lee Darragh, district attorney for the Northeastern Judicial Circuit in Georgia, said after Hilton's hearing that he planned to take the case to the grand jury, which he believes meets in early March.

Darragh told the Journal-Constitution he was not a part of any discussions about the death penalty, nor was he asked to be a part of any talks. The circuit he presides over includes Dawson and Hall counties.

I believe that she was kidnapped in Union County and killed/found in Dawson County - so I hope that she is tried in Dawson County by Darragh!

This same article states - "Meanwhile a news report in Florida is connecting Hilton to the death of a Sunday school teacher there."
