Ep. 6: A Killer in the Clouds: Bloodshed at Blood Mountain

In late 2007, a shadow fell over the national forests of Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina. When 24-year-old Meredith Emerson went hiking with her dog on New Year’s Day and never returned, a massive manhunt revealed a predator hiding in plain sight. Gary Hilton wasn't just a drifter; he was a cold-blooded killer who stalked the trails he knew by heart. This week, we follow the harrowing search for Meredith, the heartbreaking discovery of the Bryants in Pisgah National Forest, and the "Beast of Blood Mountain" who turned the Great Outdoors into a graveyard. Content Warning:Before we step into the woods, be advised that this episode contains graphic accounts of predatory tracking, psychological terror, blunt-force trauma, and the post-mortem desecration of human remains. It is intended for mature audiences only, and listener discretion is strongly advised. CourtTV Gary Hilton InterviewMusic:https://uppbeat.io/t/oliver-massa/graveyard-tangoLicense code: 6CU5MIMVDNS2IMAJ
