The 911 Call was made the day after the Bryants left for the trail, right?
So they technically went missing October 22nd.

Oct 22, 2007 Bryants
Dec 1st, 2007 - Dunlap
October 22, 1997 - Frady
April 15, 2004 -Endres
Dec 29, 2007 - Bywater
Jan 1st, 2007 - Emerson
Anniversary killing? are there any other cases that may possibly link?

From my limited knowledge of serial killers, they tend to use similar manners to kill their victims. However, in two of the cases (Endres and Dunlap) the causes of death have purposely not been released by LE. And, as hard as I tried, I could not determine Levi Frady's cause of death. Anyone know what it was?

I was doing something similar to you--putting together all the 'maybes' to try to elucidate a pattern:

Levi Frady—10/22/1997--
Patrice Endres—4/15/2004—unreleased cause of death
Irene Bryant (John Bryant missing)—10/20/2007--blunt force trauma to the head
Cheryl Dunlap—12/1/2007—unreleased cause of death
Cayle Bywater—12/29/2007—still missing
Meredith Emerson—1/1/2008--
 
Curious..I wonder if Hilton attempted to conceal his identity when using Meredith's ATM cards?

Levi was killed by a gunshot wound to the head I believe. I'll go back and try to find where I found that information.
 
Levi Frady was shot; once in the head and twice in the chest, IIRC. I am betting Meredith's throat was cut. That would explain the large amount of blood on her shirts, and yet no apparent physical damage to the shirts. I believe she was alive at some point while in the van. Why would you use a seat belt for a dead body? I think he hit her in the head with the baton in the parking lot. He dropped it, and then placed her in the van; injured and possibly unconscious. I think he inteded to drive her around to ATM's until she gave the PIN number. At some point, he killed her. Sick, twisted, . Pure evil, and pure scum.
 
Thanks Georgia, I found your post and was just about to post it here. Great timeline!

All these seem to be cool weather months.

Another couple of things:

1. I thought I read that the other white van was abandoned at another park.
2. I also read somewhere that he had a wife and she was also charged? That was probably a rumor, I haven't read anything else about that and that would be BIG news.

I was thinking perhaps he bludgeoned her with that baton...that would also cause a LOT of blood...head wounds bleed like crazy.

I did read that from a comment on either here or another forum but it has never been reported in the news or confirmed by anyone. I doubt that is true.

If Meredith's throat was cut, what do you guys think about his connection to the Williams/Winans murders in 1996?
The original suspect in thiese murders had the charges dropped against him in 2004. Took place in VA in Shenandoah National Park--along the Appalachian Trail.

Better article with more information on Williams/Winans:
http://www.barryyeoman.com/articles/murderonmountain.html

One of the murder victims had brought her dog along on the trip. He was found unharmed at the crime scene.
No sign of sexual assault to the victims.
 
Here is a snippet from the Levi Frady timeline

6:52 p.m.-7:00 p.m. A motorist, a stranger in the community who was lost, drives past a man described as being between 35 and 60 years of age, having grayish black or light brown hair (scraggly and unkempt). She observes that the man is wearing possibly blue jeans and a white or light colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up. She stops and attempts to ask the man for directions. The man does not respond to her when she says, “Mister.” The man walks off into the woods immediately after she speaks.
 
News coverage is now stating that the ME has said Meredith was killed with blunt force trauma to the head and afterwards was decapitated..

These details just highlight how horrific the crime was and the level of violence against Meredith

"ATLANTA -- Meredith Emerson died from blunt force trauma to the head, according to Georgia's Chief Medical Examiner, who completed an autopsy on the 24-year-old Tuesday.

In a shocking revelation Dr. Kris Sperry indicated that after Emerson received the lethal injuries, she was decapitated.

Emerson's family plans to make a public statement Tuesday afternoon. "

Oh, her poor family!!

This adds credence to our collective belief that Hilton has killed before now.

ugh I think I am going to be sick. That is horrible I just can't believe that.
 
omg - how sick!

This guy has to be taking things to a whole new level with this crime, which means he may have had practice with killing people before.

The irony of letting the dog go free, while doing that to a human being, is just beyond words.
