The ONLY thing I hear when he speaks: an experienced killer, armed with a dog, a knife and a police baton, surprise attacks a young woman. She fights him off twice, bare handed. And when she can't get away, she outwits him. She survives 72 agonizing hours by convincing him she can't recall her pin. She never does give him the correct number, never stops trying. And her delay tactics, though they couldn't save her, got him caught. Meredith Emerson must have been an extraordinary person. I dearly hope her family and friends take solace in that. She stopped him.
I was thinking the same thing. She was able to stall him and put him in the path of witnesses, which got him identified. She fought him off twice and managed to slow him down by feigning no memory of her pin number. It's just too bad she didn't have a weapon of her own to defend herself with. I hope women take note from this and carry a weapon if hiking in the woods alone. I would never go into any forest alone without a firearm. Animals attack people and so do human predators. Too many people go missing in our national forests. Safety first folks.
I literally just said this, and was hoping to see a comment that agreed.. that’s just pure psychological torture... I could only imagine her heart sinking... that seriously got me upset.
She was trying to make him see her as a person with a life and future, with people who love her, but psychopaths don't see others like that, they can't.. made me sick..
Hailey Piatiak - she was so well loved,beautiful ( her pictures show her beaming) and stable she knew in her heart that family and friends were looking for her. And I’m soo glad SHE FOUGHT BACK !!! That worthless parasite is filth.

@@williss1192 you kidding me? He's damn brave to stick around and watch Hilton and tell the operator exactly what the fucker was doing, knowing he was very possibly putting himself at risk. Many folks would have booked it and called when they were well out of there.
I read that Meredith's parents adopted her dog. A spokesman for her parents said they wanted to adopt her because "She's a part of her they'll always have." That was heartwrenching.
This is the scariest type of killer. He is motivated by “the hunt” itself. Totally composed like he’s sitting on his front porch rocking chair while describing his awful crime. A good reminder that just because a man is older doesn’t mean he’s harmless.

@@HumanHamCube honestly even if he didn’t have a weapon, him offering to take him down just shows how amazing he is, he was willing to put his own life on the line to catch a serial killer, which is extremely brave
The circumstances don't come up like this too often. No telling what ppl would do on the position. Think about it, without this particular set of events, you'd never know what's going on with a killer you may bump into. Very good this dude was at the gas station, this guy very well might've gotten away.

@@TelecasterLPGTop but you're a real tough guy huh? You'd be so scared you'd cry, give him all your money without being asked for it and you would have definitely given him the pin. Pathetic. What a weak little boy.
Yeah bc that Pos does like to hear himself brag , sure does think himself a smart one. Why is it we keep his kind alive again? Uses up valuable resources from the planet. I'm so sick & tired of all these evil doers. Society use to get rid of these cockroaches. Now they breed them & promote these insects. Ridiculous 😠. Same d story of evil destroying the good. When will we ever get enough of these bad seeds get rid of it.
"The moment you take somebody you've either got to kill them or get caught." - Gary Hilton This is why you never let them take you to the secondary site. Fight like mad. Do whatever you can. Get away. They will not let you live.
Yeah, I heard that years ago, and it always stuck with me. Your best chance for surviving an abduction is in the first minute or so of the attack. I don't remember the actual statistics, but if they manage to get you into a car/building/house, your chances of making it out alive drops exponentially. Believing them when they say, "Don't resist, and I'll let you go", is the absolute worst thing you can do in that moment....and personally, I'd rather they shoot me then, and there, because it might not be fatal, than let them do all manner of terrible things to me, before my inevitable death. I won't get into specifics, but I was in a situation like this, only I was in my house, so there was no taking me elsewhere, and needless to say, it was awful, so I'm really glad you posted this advice. Who knows, it could help save a life.
I feel the same way when I hear about someone who is forced to dig their own grave. Sorry, but that isn't happening. If you are going to kill me anyways, why should I make it easy for you? Do whatever you can. Hell, chuck the shovel at their face and attack with everything you have. You will likely still be killed; but at least you have some sort of chance. And your story of fighting to the very end will be respected.
Dude describing his fight with Meredith like he was regaling the officers with a tale about his valiant struggle as an underdog against a modern day Goliath.
Bless that lad at the gas station. "You want me to take him down??" He so badly wanted that vile creature caught, I'm so glad he made that call. It's just such a shame the van wasn't picked up on while he was driving around before he killed Meredith.
No one is all bad. But some people are definitely mostly bad. Like 92% bad. Like that awful guy John. You can just tell he's the worst. I mean Gary's bad, duh, but John....also bad.
I swear this dude would probably be like: "I just killed her, at least I never raped her. I am not that bad" - the fact that he almost painted her in bad light because she refused to give him him the correct card number and he couldn't rob her and he "wasted money on her"" made me so so mad.
I'm an Atlanta native and I remember so clearly when this happened. I hiked the trails of north Georgia regularly on my own in the years leading up to her death in 2005. I remember feeling so sad and angry that she was killed for absolutely no reason, a death that would block women like myself from enjoying the outdoors without fear. From 2005 on, I have brought three things with me whenever I hike: a knife, a gun and another person.
If I lived in these regions and did regular hiking alone at least 1 police trained German Shepard 2 even better..the second anyone comes they you with evil intent they would be on his throat..we had one when I was a kid..most amazing dog I ever owned..anyone ever came near me that I didn’t know and the ears went back and fangs were out..needless to say no strangers ever came near me when I was out with him🙏🏻👍
I honestly think he said it knowing that the dispatcher wasn't allowed to condone it, and wouldn't have known how to proceed if the dispatcher had been like "Really? Awesome, thanks!"
Props to the man who called in to nab the guy. The fact he was suggesting he could take the guy down for them to help prevent destroying evidence is an amazing person. I can see why the cops wouldn’t allow him to do it though, for the safety of him and also in case he was about to wrestle a potentially innocent person. Glad he was caught.
It’s really interesting though, right? Like hearing how the mind of a psychopathic killer of women works. Sadly, a lot of abusive people think this backwards way. Let me guess, this 1,000 year old lizard did something weird with the body?
Masha Kalinkina don’t you think there are far more interesting examples of this?...ones with a plethora of info and video documentation to explore. You find this fuckin guy interesting? Why him?
Yea, they always say he seemed nice and quiet.Because some assume it's gonna be like in the movies, where the guy has a scar on his face, with the gimpy leg and a hump on his back, jogging around the block with a meat cleaver.
...at first I thought that the detectives were being too quiet in the interrogation, but after listening to what Gary said, he was "singing like a bird" and was digging his own grave.
"You have the right to remain silent." "Cool. Let me tell you about how I killed this girl in exactly the same way I'd talk about my weekend fishing trip."
@@oldleatherhandsfriends4053 maybe but what he said at the end would explain why he was talking about it soo much... he said something along the lines of that he can't no longer make it out there (meaning that he can keep on working or killing ppl for money anymore), he wanted to get caught and he wanted to make sure that he would get life in prison... you see that would ensure that he'll get healthcare, a warm and clean bed, free food, not having to pay bills etc (being homeless is hard, being in prison is much easier) so you see he does believe in the end he won, he spent most of his life stealing, lying and killing innocent ppl and in the end he gets to live the rest of his life without any worries..
Well we all watch these videos to learn about what they did we aren't here for the victims it's the killers story the victims are just a pawn there not smart but there storys are interesting
I never thought twice about camping/recreating in rural areas until a relative took a job as a camp host at a state park. He explained that state parks, campgrounds, & wilderness areas can be a refuge of last resort for those on the fringe of society. If you're wanted, on the run, a predator etc, nature areas afford good hiding. He carries a gun, & is especially wary of solitary males.
*Tree Things I have learned on this Channel:* - 99% of CCTV cameras are useless. - Police interrogation rooms use shitty mics. - Mike loves his red shirt.
My daughter came in to talk to me and heard Mike say the word 'thirty' and now that's all I hear every other day... Hey Mom, it's two-TURDY... Damn you Mike...
@@TheTimbuktutu EXCUUUUUSE my mistake! Please let me know if you can also corect me in Spanish, German, and Schweizerdeutsch. Yup! English is my t-ird language (to honor Mike). BTW I am looking to learn Hebrew, any assistance?
Jesus, that man is about as cold-blooded as one can get. Treating his interrogation as if he's teaching a crash course in "how to abduct a woman from a forest trail." Clearly, he's been 'honing his craft' for a while. F%ckin' disgusting.
He even shook hands with them and behaved warmly. And even said "I'm not that bad of a guy" But yeah the mental institutions leave loose a lot of people with mental illnesses these days.
For those whose first question is ‘But what happened to the dog?’, Ella was found after a few days, wandering 60 miles away and Meredith’s parents adopted her.
I'm glad Her dog is alright, and living with her parents. Dandy, the golden that belonged to this Psychopath also has a new home. Dandy did nothing wrong and deserved a better family.
Thank you! He probably took good care of his dog, but you’re absolutely right, the dog definitely deserves a great home. Some narrow-minded people are unable to separate an offender from the innocents in his life, ie, family, pets.
"I can go take him down if you want." that caller... zero fcks to give.he was so excited too lol. i honestly thought i'd hear him running towards the sicko to have him in a headlock
I don’t know if he’s actually schizophrenic (some psychopaths can convince a doctor successfully by lying), but scattered thought is a core symptom of schizophrenia. It causes the neurons in your brains to misdirect- they keep taking the wrong turns and end up at the wrong streets. It can take a schizophrenic 14 hours to explain a simple thing while trying their absolute best, or they never reach the end at all. I assume he was unmedicated since he had
I remember vividly when this happened… Meredith was the same age I was, and like her, I live here in Atlanta and had a 1 year old pup who I loved going on adventures with. Before they found her, I remember taking my dog out for a walk one cold night here alone and thinking/praying for her. The gas station they captured her attacker at is right down the street from me and I’d been there countless times. I still think of her and wonder if Ella is still alive… my pup who was Ella’s age passed away in July 2019 at the age of 12.5. God bless Meredith and her family- I pray the memories of her keep their hearts warm until they meet again in heaven ❤️
So wait a minute, you’re the same age as Meredith, you are also a hiker, also from Atlanta, also have a dog, and just so happen to live right across the street from where the guy was caught, and had been to that gas station countless times. Just an amazing set of coincidences. It’s almost UNBELIEVABLE
@@electricaf365 why? It's not like it's even remotely uncommon to own a dog, and anyone who lives anywhere near a national park can tell you that every day you see young women hiking with their dogs (specifically, you tend to see hikers at the closest gas stations, getting water/snacks/ice etc, making OP's comment seem even more believable to me...). Hell, I'm around Meredith's age and take my dog hiking...no reason to make it up...
ikr! i tught he was gona say i lost thousands, he spend 30 bucks, and also she lost her life, like we where suposed to feel bad for him or something over 30 bucks? he had already confessed, i wish the interviers have played with him a bit lol.
The The police were not were not very bright either. How did this dishonorable clown get an honorable discharge from the Army ? He goes to Germany during the Vietnam war?
Tip: stay away from anything in the woods named blood something, Devi’s something, etc. There’s a place near me named Dead Woman Hollow. Nope. Hell nope.
Oh, how in the world did those detectives sit there & listen to him without jumping up & throttling him? She cost HIM money, driving around everywhere trying to get her bank card to work! Oh poor him!
I was literally thinking “why doesn’t anyone just take him down” then the dude immediately said “I can take him down when you want” made me chuckle a little
@@rrpostalagain because it seems unlikely that anything before this would make someone say "I wish they would take him down" before the one guy did. NERONAS was probably implying the guy made it sounds this way to sound relatable or tough for likes. either way, gg
Serious props to the guy who called and reported this sighting!! And he even offered to take this guy down while waiting for the police bc he was so concerned he would take off before they got there!!
She took him down and he is so mad about, you can hear it in his “tale”! I want to point out the part where he says “Blood Mountain is a great area to hunt...” [sic] Then he goes on about binoculars and hiding just off the trail....He was telling them he went there to hunt PEOPLE! He killed way more people....way more!! BTW - NEVER, EVER GO HIKING ALONE ..unless you are packing heat!!
@Rotten in Denmark You used "[sic]" incorrectly! Just thought I'd let you know! I, too, wonder how many more people he killed. One horrible person, he is. I hope he lives a long, long time in prison, miserable place that it is. (Did anyone else hear right at the end of the interview with the cops where he said "I can't make it on the outside," meaning he doesn't have the skills to keep himself fed and housed? And he, therefore, needs prison? Is that why he killed poor Meredith?)
~20:36 to 20:56 The body language of both cops is simply hilarious and absolutely adorable - if you turn down the audio, (or if you're able to forget for 20 seconds about the fact, it's a murder confession) - that part of the interrogation tape is priceless. They're both SO tired to listen to his endless tangents... 👀
I lived in North Georgia when this took place, and it was absolutely terrifying. I also believe that there are many more people who have disappeared at the hands of this monster. I hope he rots in jail!!!
Hell im so stupid I saw this comment when I was at 23 minutes and I was like nah he must of heard it wrong.. I heard it wrong dude your 100% right and he slipped hard and he paused like shit let me keep going about this one...
I took part in the search for Meredith. I was with a search and rescue team for one of the surrounding counties at the time. Horrible what happened to her.
I love that the guy who called in the suspect said "I can take him down if you want" lol good man. He wasn't willing to let him get away. Thank heavens for that man. Who knows how many other people Hilton would've killed.
IMO there's way more than just the confirmed. He kept saying "I'm better than that" when talking about how Meredith was fighting him. He's done this way more than 4 times.
Actually I feel he would make their job extremely easy....Pretty obvious he knows he is done for so....Just gotta push through the paperwork. No made up stories, no guilty conscience for the defense lawyer (DO THEY EVEN HAVE THOSE??) Just a by the numbers case, so to speak.
No one worse than Sean Vincent Giilles. He would bathe with the body of his murdered victims, have sex, cut what part of the body he liked, and this while his girlfriend worked the overnight shift. And then dumped them while posing them with the chopped body parts. He has to be very strong, because dead weight it's not like no other
I was raised pacifist Quaker and would gladly flip the switch on this dude. How humans end up so twisted I will never understand, even after abuse, or a bad childhood, they have to be mentally defective in some way.
@Olli Rolli Oh wow, it's one of you. If humans refused to eat meat from the beginning of time because it's bad, I bet we wouldn't be here today. Hunting is way more humane than the way processed meat is obtained anyway.
I litterally saw this guy setting in a van everyday for weeks in Hiawassee GA ingles parking lot I worked there when I was 16. I just thought he was a crazy homeless guy
@@entombedmachine1518 he was ran off a couple of times..... he would just set with his hand on the steering wheel talking to himself, I promise you as he isn't the only one like that here. I just thought he was living in his van and trying to live in the parking lot
I’m sure many people feel the same as him. No one cares about anyone. No empathy. Children growing up without fathers which statistically increases chances for drug use incarceration etc. not everyone will become a killer but may do other crimes or just not live to the fullest potential. Killers are like hurricanes tsunamis earthquakes. They just are. Destructive but maybe necessary .
"Well I mean, if she just let me rob her, it wouldn't have happened like this! In fact, I spent 30 whole dollars just driving around trying to rob her. So if you think about it, its pretty rude of her to inconvenience me like that. And its also my old boss' fault, because he angered me to where I HAD to murder! And why did he have to give me up? They were already onto me, why would he go and speed up the investigation like that? Bastard. He must be bisexual."
He is the poster child for what happens when you don’t discipline your children and never make them take responsibility for anything or suffer consequences.
I about couldn’t even listen to his ‘confession’ it made my stomach turn. He led her on to think she was going to make it home. That is so unbelievably cruel. Jeezzzz we live among monsters!!
Gary used to live in the woods behind my childhood home in chamblee. I met him a few times and so did a couple friends of mine. We had no clue who he was until cops came asking questions about him one day
@@mrx7062 lmao that's why you are so angry! Ale we bullying you in your country? Or is it the combination of arabs and India people? How is the sharia law working out, mate?
If it's a woman, they usually say it to honor the dead. Most of the time though, it is a beautiful young women that get raped and or murdered like this.
Well, saying someone is ugly is a bit shitty especially when that person is dead so cannot answer in defense. How about just leave out the pretty, beautiful, handsome, etc. Pertaining to physical attractiveness. A bit shallow, if you think about it.
i hear you, if i went missing im sure they wouldn't bother putting my mug on the big screen lmao. but it leaves a sweet rememberence because all good people are arguably beutiful in their own way. furthermore beuty is subjective, im sure many people find you beutiful
Meredith was incredibly strong, incredibly. This guy makes me fucking sick. The way he casually talked about killing her made me cry. Mike always does a good job uplifting my spirits during these stories but sometimes they just get to me. I hike alone a lot... and I just never want my family to go through what hers had to go through.
Couple of years ago, my husband and I parked up in a wood to go for a walk. Guy in the car next to us was watching us soooooo closely as he flossed his teeth. I joked that he was getting rid of the evidence of his last kill and then we looked at each other, and jumped in the car and drove very fast away!!!
Lmao! Hey God was talking and you listened... Women have great antennas! Just saying your story gave me goose bumps! Where I live, there are many parks like the one you were at. Lolo Now I'm going to go to the park and be more observing of who all are in my zone. Good night to you. This guy is a winded creep. What drug is he on? This is his normal? Lmao
i stopped st a rest area one time and as you left there was a scenic view so I swung my vehicle around this turn and walked somewhat into some woods to look at the river.aftet about 5 minutes i headed back up the hill to my car.suddenly here comes a guy toward me from the top of the hill and asked me hows the view- nothing happened at all but there was no one else around and i just felt a really weird sense from this guy.i think he was probably looking for a little 'encounter', which isnt my interest, but I always felt like i was a sitting duck in that situation.i've been all over the states and often strike up conversation with strangers, but there was just something about that stranger that gave me the creeps.and yes, he was driving a van with no windows.
With what he did he'd best keep fucking quiet. He would literally be shanked in his sleep. Prisoners may be scum but they usually dont like crimes against children/women/family. He wouldn't last long anyway!
Most people who say “I’m not that bad” are the worst.. it’s like they’re having to tell themselves that to keep themselves believing their own lies. The way this guy is being so nonchalant about everything, sickens me. If only she would have continued to kick his arse.. this is exactly why I carry.
I wish more people had the option to carry a defensive weapon, I wish more people who had the option would choose to use it. A lot more people would have just a disturbing self defence incident in place of being raped, murdered or robbed.
Nonarei I agree with you wholeheartedly.. not to pull the “victim card” because I don’t claim to be a victim ( I chose to allow this person in my life) but I have been in a situation where I didn’t carry and an abusive ex beat the shit out of me and almost took my life 5 yrs ago. He came very close to it actually. He swore if he ever went to prison because of me, he would find me when he got out and kill me. After that, my life changed. I changed. I stopped putting myself in certain situations, stopped allowing certain people in my life, started learning how to defend myself, and stopped living my life in fear. Being in situations like that are hard to just get over and my heart goes out to any woman, man, or child that goes through horrific things like that. I wish more people were able to protect themselves from monsters like these. I thank God everyday that I live in the south lol where the 2nd amendment is practiced like a damn religion. Not everyone agrees with the 2nd amendment, and that’s okay. A lot of it is because of lack of knowledge. But as for myself, i refuse to ever allow myself to be helpless again.
The ONLY thing I hear when he speaks: an experienced killer, armed with a dog, a knife and a police baton, surprise attacks a young woman. She fights him off twice, bare handed.

"The moment you take somebody you've either got to kill them or get caught."
- Gary Hilton
This is why you never let them take you to the secondary site. Fight like mad. Do whatever you can. Get away. They will not let you live.
wise words....
Yeah, I heard that years ago, and it always stuck with me. Your best chance for surviving an abduction is in the first minute or so of the attack. I don't remember the actual statistics, but if they manage to get you into a car/building/house, your chances of making it out alive drops exponentially. Believing them when they say, "Don't resist, and I'll let you go", is the absolute worst thing you can do in that moment....and personally, I'd rather they shoot me then, and there, because it might not be fatal, than let them do all manner of terrible things to me, before my inevitable death. I won't get into specifics, but I was in a situation like this, only I was in my house, so there was no taking me elsewhere, and needless to say, it was awful, so I'm really glad you posted this advice. Who knows, it could help save a life.
Lets just hope we don't have to experience that
It’s so sad that all that fighting she did couldn’t save her 🥺
I feel the same way when I hear about someone who is forced to dig their own grave. Sorry, but that isn't happening. If you are going to kill me anyways, why should I make it easy for you? Do whatever you can. Hell, chuck the shovel at their face and attack with everything you have. You will likely still be killed; but at least you have some sort of chance. And your story of fighting to the very end will be respected.

“I’m not all bad.”
-Guy who is definitely all bad
...said every narcissistic murderer ever born
No one is all bad. But some people are definitely mostly bad. Like 92% bad. Like that awful guy John. You can just tell he's the worst. I mean Gary's bad, duh, but John....also bad.
I swear this dude would probably be like: "I just killed her, at least I never raped her. I am not that bad" - the fact that he almost painted her in bad light because she refused to give him him the correct card number and he couldn't rob her and he "wasted money on her"" made me so so mad.
His mom should've bashed him on a rock after his birth
He not all bad. Most days he doesn't kill people.
I'm an Atlanta native and I remember so clearly when this happened. I hiked the trails of north Georgia regularly on my own in the years leading up to her death in 2005. I remember feeling so sad and angry that she was killed for absolutely no reason, a death that would block women like myself from enjoying the outdoors without fear. From 2005 on, I have brought three things with me whenever I hike: a knife, a gun and another person.
And you know this!!!! Really tho
Make it four things; martial Arts skills.
Also take your phone, and a QuickClot trauma pack.
Definitely going to make me more careful hiking in that area
If I lived in these regions and did regular hiking alone at least 1 police trained German Shepard 2 even better..the second anyone comes they you with evil intent they would be on his throat..we had one when I was a kid..most amazing dog I ever owned..anyone ever came near me that I didn’t know and the ears went back and fangs were out..needless to say no strangers ever came near me when I was out with him🙏🏻👍
"I can go take him down if you want." WHAT A BEAST
100% Cringe
sOo bAdAsS
I honestly think he said it knowing that the dispatcher wasn't allowed to condone it, and wouldn't have known how to proceed if the dispatcher had been like "Really? Awesome, thanks!"
Haha I found that kinda funny
If Hilton was on the run, that might have been an option. But gladly he was busy with the evidence and didn't seem focused on anything else.
Props to the man who called in to nab the guy. The fact he was suggesting he could take the guy down for them to help prevent destroying evidence is an amazing person. I can see why the cops wouldn’t allow him to do it though, for the safety of him and also in case he was about to wrestle a potentially innocent person. Glad he was caught.
“It was not my greatest moment!” Dude your whole existence is not your greatest moment.
It’s really interesting though, right? Like hearing how the mind of a psychopathic killer of women works. Sadly, a lot of abusive people think this backwards way.

That guy actually seems to enjoy confessing. Its like finally someone is interested in him.

...at first I thought that the detectives were being too quiet in the interrogation, but after listening to what Gary said, he was "singing like a bird" and was digging his own grave.
"You have the right to remain silent."
"Cool. Let me tell you about how I killed this girl in exactly the same way I'd talk about my weekend fishing trip."
Makes sense because fishing is just murder as well,
@Cynthia Baker I do, because most humans unfortunately are so ignorant or egoistic to think it's OK to murder other animals.
That's how a lot of serial killers act, kiling is a hobby so they love talking about it.
@@oldleatherhandsfriends4053 maybe but what he said at the end would explain why he was talking about it soo much... he said something along the lines of that he can't no longer make it out there (meaning that he can keep on working or killing ppl for money anymore), he wanted to get caught and he wanted to make sure that he would get life in prison... you see that would ensure that he'll get healthcare, a warm and clean bed, free food, not having to pay bills etc (being homeless is hard, being in prison is much easier)
so you see he does believe in the end he won, he spent most of his life stealing, lying and killing innocent ppl and in the end he gets to live the rest of his life without any worries..
And people can't understand why some cops go off, and beat the crap out of some people. Hint, they usually deserve it.
“I can take him down for you”. That guy is the best human being in 2020

I never thought twice about camping/recreating in rural areas until a relative took a job as a camp host at a state park. He explained that state parks, campgrounds, & wilderness areas can be a refuge of last resort for those on the fringe of society.

I remember vividly when this happened… Meredith was the same age I was, and like her, I live here in Atlanta and had a 1 year old pup who I loved going on adventures with. Before they found her, I remember taking my dog out for a walk one cold night here alone and thinking/praying for her. The gas station they captured her attacker at is right down the street from me and I’d been there countless times. I still think of her and wonder if Ella is still alive… my pup who was Ella’s age passed away in July 2019 at the age of 12.5. God bless Meredith and her family- I pray the memories of her keep their hearts warm until they meet again in heaven ❤️
Ella got adopted by her parents 🙏
So wait a minute, you’re the same age as Meredith, you are also a hiker, also from Atlanta, also have a dog, and just so happen to live right across the street from where the guy was caught, and had been to that gas station countless times. Just an amazing set of coincidences. It’s almost UNBELIEVABLE
@@electricaf365 why? It's not like it's even remotely uncommon to own a dog, and anyone who lives anywhere near a national park can tell you that every day you see young women hiking with their dogs (specifically, you tend to see hikers at the closest gas stations, getting water/snacks/ice etc, making OP's comment seem even more believable to me...).

"Well I mean, if she just let me rob her, it wouldn't have happened like this! In fact, I spent 30 whole dollars just driving around trying to rob her. So if you think about it, its pretty rude of her to inconvenience me like that. And its also my old boss' fault, because he angered me to where I HAD to murder! And why did he have to give me up? They were already onto me, why would he go and speed up the investigation like that? Bastard. He must be bisexual."
sad how hilarious this is
i know its such bullshit. he just wants to cause that guy some pain... make sure you tell him its his fault i killed her. stfu
I know right! that was an interesting case study, his rant.
@@SpydersByte it is pretty funny. Dude could’ve been a comedian if he hadn’t been busy murdering
He is the poster child for what happens when you don’t discipline your children and never make them take responsibility for anything or suffer consequences.
It's disturbing how a few evil people can do harm to so many and grief to hundreds of others.
I about couldn’t even listen to his ‘confession’ it made my stomach turn. He led her on to think she was going to make it home. That is so unbelievably cruel. Jeezzzz we live among monsters!!
Gary used to live in the woods behind my childhood home in chamblee. I met him a few times and so did a couple friends of mine. We had no clue who he was until cops came asking questions about him one day
Whoa. That's chilling.
Buuuuuulllshiiiiiit!!!!!
@@electricaf365 you dont have to believe me. The man used to rent rooms in the houses on our street before I was born
Lmao the guy who called him in at the gas station “I can take him down if you guys want” hahaha
Why is that funny?
Becouse he's a fucking beast , he was about to go Ocho Cinco on that old fart
Adrenaline was pumping. He wanted to punch him up👌🏾
Lol, that would have been me too, like "Do you want me to go rugby tackle him? I can jump on his back."
@@mikebarker6979 Because it's a ridiculously stupid thing to do
Wow. Listening to him breaks my heart for Meredith and infuriates me to my core. The evilness of this man.
He was possessed
"I can go take him down if ya want!?" Merica, baby!
He would have been beaten to death if it was poland
@@mrx7062 Shows how little of history you guys learn in your silly schools

Why does the news always say "a beautiful -" when it comes to the victim? What do they not care if the victim ends up ugly?
If it's a woman, they usually say it to honor the dead. Most of the time though, it is a beautiful young women that get raped and or murdered like this.
Well, saying someone is ugly is a bit shitty especially when that person is dead so cannot answer in defense. How about just leave out the pretty, beautiful, handsome, etc. Pertaining to physical attractiveness. A bit shallow, if you think about it.
Gets people to look up from the little screen to the big screen.
That's Fox News for you.
i hear you, if i went missing im sure they wouldn't bother putting my mug on the big screen lmao. but it leaves a sweet rememberence because all good people are arguably beutiful in their own way. furthermore beuty is subjective, im sure many people find you beutiful
I love the 911 caller, I am totally with him on that, I would have wanted to take the guy down too! Great job on the video Mike!
"I can go take him down if you want". That's pretty direct for a 911 caller.
I remember Meredith's case. Her dog was found at a grocery store near my house. So scary this monster was so close.
Meredith was incredibly strong, incredibly. This guy makes me fucking sick. The way he casually talked about killing her made me cry. Mike always does a good job uplifting my spirits during these stories but sometimes they just get to me. I hike alone a lot... and I just never want my family to go through what hers had to go through.
Please start hiking with a friend. Be careful
Never hike alone!! Rule 1#
2# if you get hurt you're screwed
3# come across killer your dead
4# start at number 1#
"I can take him down if you want." 😂 Good ol' American spirit
😆
The dispatcher was shitting bricks that his dude would end up killing the killer no more explanations nothing
Damn right!
spit my coffee, stopped vid, and looked for this comment :D 10:45
Couple of years ago, my husband and I parked up in a wood to go for a walk. Guy in the car next to us was watching us soooooo closely as he flossed his teeth. I joked that he was getting rid of the evidence of his last kill and then we looked at each other, and jumped in the car and drove very fast away!!!
Lmao! Hey God was talking and you listened... Women have great antennas!
Just saying your story gave me goose bumps! Where I live, there are many parks like the one you were at. Lolo Now I'm going to go to the park and be more observing of who all are in my zone.
Good night to you.
This guy is a winded creep. What drug is he on? This is his normal? Lmao
Very wise! 😂
i stopped st a rest area one time and as you left there was a scenic view so I swung my vehicle around this turn and walked somewhat into some woods to look at the river.aftet about 5 minutes i headed back up the hill to my car.suddenly here comes a guy toward me from the top of the hill and asked me hows the view- nothing happened at all but there was no one else around and i just felt a really weird sense from this guy.i think he was probably looking for a little 'encounter', which isnt my interest, but I always felt like i was a sitting duck in that situation.i've been all over the states and often strike up conversation with strangers, but there was just something about that stranger that gave me the creeps.and yes, he was driving a van with no windows.
@@scotsman6712 I was in Ellijay area a few months ago looking at real estate. The woods out there are thick, dark and scary!!!!!!
That man's blabbling mouth will be the nightmares of the prisoners he'll share room with.
With what he did he'd best keep fucking quiet. He would literally be shanked in his sleep. Prisoners may be scum but they usually dont like crimes against children/women/family. He wouldn't last long anyway!
Most people who say “I’m not that bad” are the worst.. it’s like they’re having to tell themselves that to keep themselves believing their own lies. The way this guy is being so nonchalant about everything, sickens me. If only she would have continued to kick his arse.. this is exactly why I carry.
I wish more people had the option to carry a defensive weapon, I wish more people who had the option would choose to use it. A lot more people would have just a disturbing self defence incident in place of being raped, murdered or robbed.
Smart woman. Stay smart.
My kind of woman hopefully you’ll get a chance to blow one of these creeps away one day
Celia J - your gorgeous and “ packing” makes you a Wonder Woman chica. Give em hell!!!!
Nonarei I agree with you wholeheartedly.. not to pull the “victim card” because I don’t claim to be a victim ( I chose to allow this person in my life) but I have been in a situation where I didn’t carry and an abusive ex beat the shit out of me and almost took my life 5 yrs ago. He came very close to it actually. He swore if he ever went to prison because of me, he would find me when he got out and kill me. After that, my life changed. I changed. I stopped putting myself in certain situations, stopped allowing certain people in my life, started learning how to defend myself, and stopped living my life in fear. Being in situations like that are hard to just get over and my heart goes out to any woman, man, or child that goes through horrific things like that. I wish more people were able to protect themselves from monsters like these. I thank God everyday that I live in the south lol where the 2nd amendment is practiced like a damn religion. Not everyone agrees with the 2nd amendment, and that’s okay. A lot of it is because of lack of knowledge. But as for myself, i refuse to ever allow myself to be helpless again.
