Police: Evidence links Georgia murder suspect to N. C. slayings
January 16, 2008
(CNN) -- Authorities have evidence linking the man charged in the kidnapping and murder of a Georgia hiker with the slaying of a couple from North Carolina, a law enforcement official said Wednesday.
Although investigators would not specify what kind of evidence they have, they believe Gary Michael Hilton is involved in the October slaying of Irene Bryant and the presumed death of her husband John, Transylvania County Sheriff David Mahoney said.
After the couple went for a hike in Pisgah National Forest, Irene Bryant's body was found near the couple's car. John Bryant's body has not been found.
"This investigation has resulted in the investigative team being able to establish a positive link between Gary Michael Hilton of Transylvania County and specifically to the case involving John and Irene Bryant," Mahoney said at a brief news conference.
No questions were taken at the briefing, and Mahoney said details on the timing or venue of criminal charges are not being revealed now in order to maintain the integrity of the case. Hilton also is under investigation in Florida.
THIS CASE IS FAR FROM OVER...
CHOMP HAS SOMETHING TO SAY...
This man was once a mother's baby, fresh-born, with a clean soul. A child full of wonder about the world. How does a child grow up to become a monster, a person to be feared, a person to be loathed?
What happened to that innocent part of Gary Michael Hilton? Who caused him so much hurt that he is compelled to hurt others? Or did he just come that way?
I have wondered this about many people. Have you?
