Thank you for this link!

That's ridiculous that LE would rule out Cayle since she's Bipolar. The killer wouldn't have known she was Bipolar, nor have discriminated..

Great post, Concerned.

Did you notice that his SS# is left on the warrant?

Anyone want to tackle a comprehensive background search on him as far as established residences and known associates go?
We already know there weren't any outstanding warrants on him in October.

I thought SuzyQ (I maybe wrong, if So I apologize!) ran some checks on him? Suzy, if you did, did you have access to this number or do we need to run a new one on him now?

If his SS# is left on the warrant and anyone is subscribed to a service that can track that information, I say go for it. We don't owe this guy anything in terms of respect of privacy. I would like to see him peeled away skin cell by skin cell until I can see the ostoclasts of his bones. . I am also interested in why we haven't heard anything from his former boss. Supposedly, he lived at his place of employment (Insulated Wall Systems??) for the past 7 years. Owned by a John Tabor with a wife named Jana Tabor. There is a Jana Tabor in Atlanta who is a lawyer, so maybe that is why we haven't heard anything?? Fine to protect yourself, and your family, but if there is anthing of value to LE with a case like this, you have to fess up!!!

He might get his own death penalty in prison; unless seperated. Inmates looking to make a name for themselves will try and stab him for being renown.

Thank you MeoW33 for backing me up..just because she was Biopolar does not make her vaccinated from crime...He went after younger women with dogs..she perfectly fits that discription.

The fact these young women went missing the same time is highly suspect!

Actually, the bipolar angle may have been what attracted him to Cayle.

I just searched on the Soc. Sec. Death Index (www.ssdi.rootsweb.com) and found an Ursula Taylor in FL who died in Dec. 2001 - but here's the (possibly) creepy thing: her birthday was Oct. 20, 1949. Remember an earlier poster asking what might be significant about the date(s) of Oct. 21-22 (when several possible victims were killed)? Would Hilton's ex-wife's birthday trigger something in him to make him act out around that day?? Maybe I'm grasping at straws...

Sorry - looked thru my notes and found that the 3 incidents I mention above are Levi Frady (disappeared Oct. 22, 1997), Tara Grinstead (disappeared Oct. 22, 2005), and the Bryants (disappeared Oct. 21, 2007). Coincidence or something more???

The fact that she was bi-polar and believed to be non-compliant with her meds makes her a more likely victim of foul play than it does a lesser risk. What is wrong with LE??? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

According to a message board about Cheryl Dunlap's murder, her body was found in a similar condition to Meredith's. There was also some speculation that she was held before her death.

I accept that.
However, if he is questioned about other cases and pressure is applied again, he might spill again to avoid the death penalty in other cases. We don't know yet what he will or won't do but I expect that the FBI is working every angle. If it's obvious to us that this wasn't his first murder, then I hope they suspect him of other murders too.
The man is obviously not sane in the sense that we define sanity, this was obvious before he killed Meredith in the Oct. video. He told the deputy he " loved him". Sicko! ( not saying that he meets the criteria for criminal insanity- no. He can't be let off that easily).

He seemed almost giddy in that video, didn't he? Like he was ready to jump up and down saying "HA ha! You don;t know what I did!"

If this date correlation part pans out, I'd be more likely to think that he killed his wife ( or ex- wife) too.
I think he started killing way before '01. Maybe they got married many years ago on that date? Lots of brides used to get married on their birthdays. A good background search would tell us those things, probably, but I don't subscribe to any of the services.

We don't know exactly to what degree of seriousness her Bipolar was. There is a broad spectrum of people with Bipolar. If someone did not know her personally, then they wouldn't realize she's Bipolar; as there's no telling how people would react in a situation faced with Hilton. I'm sure many people with no background of mental illness would turn all sorts of crazy when faced with Hilton or the like..

Giddy is a good word for it. Manic is another. The " Love you" to the deputy made me have goose bumps. Weirdo from he!!.

Is it ok to post what I find here?

I would say the biggest question is.....what did she die from?

I'm sure many people with no background of mental illness would turn all sorts of crazy when faced with Hilton or the like..

I think we are on the same plane with this, just stating it in a different way. I'm not saying she was " crazy". We don't know the severity of her Manic Depressive illness, true. We do know that people with BP disorder are not able to leave off their medication safely without medical supervision or a replacement medication once it has been prescribed and started.
I'm saying she was likely more vulnerable because there is a good chance that her judgment may have been impaired. Manic depressive illness is a serious mental disorder which requires lifelong medication.
When a person who is diagnosed as BP is prescribed medication by their psychiatrist and they stop taking the medication, they are susceptible to experiencing the onset of either manic or depressive episodes, or rapid cycling.
When the person has an altered mental status, either mania, hypomania or depression, they are thinking less rationally than they would be if they were taking the medication, but they usually don't realize it. Most BP disordered people feel better off their meds until they reach the point where they cannot manage the symptoms on their own. That doesn't mean that their judgment skills are the same as if they were on their medication.
All I am saying is that if she was approached by Hilton, she may not have had the same usual restraint or judgment skills in place at that time, thus may have been more vulnerable to his ruses. That would mean that she may fall into the more vulnerable category rather than less likely victim status that LE is assigning to her.
LE is most likely looking at it backwards, unless there is evidence which hasn't been released.

Someone better jot that number down. It may redacted as soon as that error is discovered.
