On New Year’s Day, 2008, 24-year-old Meredith Hope Emerson went hiking with her dog Ella on Blood Mountain in Georgia. She never returned. She was abducted and subsequently bludgeoned to death and decapitated by serial killer Gary Michael Hilton. By the end of the week, Hilton was identified as the killer, arrested and Meredith’s remains were recovered. Lead Investigator, Special Agent John Cagle of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation led the team that accomplished this rare quick resolution of this horrific crime.


Now retired, Mr. Cagle, author of “Those Days in January,” joins me today to share the story of this gruesome murder on Blood Mountain.
