  • Meredith Emerson and her black labrador, Ella, went for a routine hike on January 1, 2008. When Meredith didn't show up to work the next day, her friends and authorities searched the trails of "Blood Mountain" and were able to find some of her belongings, which led them to a killer with a secret history of victims.

    Truly heartbreaking and horrifying to think about. The last time I went hiking alone, a man approached me and said how easily he could overpower me. This makes me wonder if he would have, had it been a more isolated trail. I haven't felt safe going alone ever since. Meredith did everything right given the situation :(

I wonder if this person experiences any guilt or feels in any way partially culpable (aiding and abetting, or just mentally slow?)...

    I'll always remember this case. I was working in a town very close to Blood Mountain when Meredith went missing. My husband was working for the Union County Sheriff's Office when Hilton was arrested. Being such a small, quiet town, it definitely left us on edge. For days after all of the information came out, and after Meredith was found, I could hardly fall asleep. I kept thinking about how Meredith was alive in the back of a van just a few miles from where I worked and lived while everyone was looking for her. Even scarier is that Hilton killed a North Carolina couple a few months before Meredith and had used their ATM card at a bank about 10 miles from my home. One small discrepancy in this video is that Dawson Forest, where Meredith was killed and her body disposed is actually in Dawson County, GA, not the city of Dawson which is located in south Georgia as the map in the video showed. Dawson County is also in the North Georgia mountains and approximately 40 miles south of where Meredith went missing on Blood Mountain. Also, they were not in Gainesville, which is in Hall County, but rather in Dawsonville, in Dawson County.

    Can someone please help me understand something. So someone who killed another person in cold blood without remorse and for the dumbest reasons. How can someone like that ask the court to show them mercy by either removing the death penalty, letting them out of prison early because of Covid and that they are afraid to infection. Some even ask judges to send them to a more friendlier, more accommodating prison. For reasons I will never understand, why would a court or judge consider these request and sometimes granting them. This person never showed remorse or considered the life they took but when it comes to their punishment, they are afraid for their life and wants sympathy, when they never showed sympathy to the people they have killed. Why do the courts and judges do that? It’s an insult to the families of the victims
