About this episode
Gary Michael Hilton is a serial killer who was convicted for the murders of four people, although many assume he has killed more. His M.O was to hunt down his victims while they were hiking or spending time on the trails, incapacitate them and keep them held hostage while he used their credit or debit cards. In this episode we will go over the murders of Cheryl Dunlap, Meredith Emerson and John and Irene Bryant.

Great book on the case:
