Convicted Murder Gary Hilton Extradited To Florida
June 9, 2008
Charges have yet to be filed in the double homicide in Pisgah National Forest where John and Irene Bryant were abducted robbed and murdered. North Carolina and Federal officials have said that convicted murder Gary Hilton is the prime suspect in the double homicide as well as a homicide in Florida.
Gary Michael Hilton is charged in the death of 46-year-old Cheryl Hodges Dunlap, a nurse from Crawfordville, Fla., whose body was found Dec. 19 in the Apalachicola National Forest.
He already has confessed to killing a Georgia hiker after abducting her on New Year’s Day.
The 61-year-old Hilton admitted killing hiker Meredith Emerson and was sentenced to life in prison. Officials have not released details of Hilton’s transfer Friday from the state prison in Jackson, Ga.
Federal authorities have said they are leading the investigation into the Bryants’ killings.
Hopefully justice for the Bryant’s will happen soon.
