Gary Hilton is expected to plead guilty Thursday in the murder of a Georgia hiker. Dawson County authorities say the 61-year-old will make his plea at an afternoon hearing today.
Hilton has been charged with the murder of 24-year-old Meredith Emerson. Emerson went missing on New Year’s Day after hiking with her dog at a state park in Union County. Emerson was alive for three days before she died and Hilton decapitated her.
Hilton led authorities to her body on January 7. He is now being investigated in the murder of a Florida hiker and an elderly couple hiking in North Carolina.
