In the winter of 2007–2008, a series of murders across the American Southeast began to reveal a disturbing pattern.
Hikers disappeared.
Bodies were found in remote wilderness.
And investigators gradually connected the crimes to one man — Gary Michael Hilton.
From North Carolina to Florida and Georgia, Hilton targeted victims in isolated outdoor locations, leaving investigators to piece together a pattern that stretched across state lines.
Among his victims was 24-year-old Meredith Emerson, whose disappearance in the mountains of Georgia triggered a massive search and ultimately helped bring Hilton to justice.
This is the story of Gary Michael Hilton.
The investigation.
The victims.
The evidence.
And the case that finally ended his killing spree.
