*Warning...Graphic Post***
Gary Michael Hilton confessed in Georgia for killing Meredith Hope Emerson. He took LE to the location of her body and her head was in a different place. He confessed to avoid the Death Penalty and was given Life in Prison. He was NOT tried for her Murder. He kidnapped her off Blood Mountain Trail on Jan. 1, 2008. She never gave him her correct pin number for her Bank Card.
He was moved to Florida and was tried for the murder of my friend, Cheryl Hodges Dunlap. He kidnapped her on Dec. 1, 2007. and her body was found by hunters on Dec. 15. Her family had to bury her without her Head and Hands. There were bone fragments and parts of the clothes found in a burn pit. After a two week trial...The state of Florida gave him the Death Penalty. He is now on Death Row in Florida.
He was then taken to North Carolina and charged with the deaths of John and Irene Bryant. He took them from the a National Forest Trail on Oct. 1, 2007. They gave him their pin numbers so he is on tape withdrawing money from their accounts like he did Cheryls. He removed the hands because there are some ATM machines that have thumb print readers. After he plead guilty for their deaths, the Federal Government then did NOT have a trial.
This is my only Personal experience with confessing and not being tried.
IIRC..there were a few other cases on here when there was NOT a trial. The little 6 year old girl named Jorley ??, (who was killed by the young guy who put her body in the trash compactor) was not tried. I also think the man who was the caretaker of the dead grandfather, (who killed the little girl and cut up her body, threw the main part in a dumpster and kept her head in his deep freeze). Her name started with an L...He killed her while the little sisters were asleep in the mobile home. Too tired to research these cases to give the poor victims whole names. Sorry!!
Dear God...Please Keep the Families of All the Dead and Missing In Your Loving Arms!
Wow. I remember the Meredith Emerson case well, and how the SOB killer seemed to have no trouble killing humans, but said he couldn't bring himself to kill ME's dog. I was happy her dog came home to her parents...a bit of comfort, at least. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that he killed your friend, too. There is so much evil in this world.
I remember the Jorelys Rivera case, the little girl you mentioned re the trash compactor. Her killer pled guilty, then hanged himself in prison. If only more killers would save our tax dollars this way...
I remember the other little girl in the trailer park. I believe her name was Aliahna.
