Gary Hilton & The Mountain Murders

Gary Hilton will not walk free again. One way or another, he is going to die in prison. If the gurney does not get him, then old age will. Currently, he sits in his cell paying penance for the deaths of four people including that of Cheryl Dunlap, whom he murdered in the Apalachicola National Forest, which lies in the north of Florida. He received the death penalty for that homicide.'He will most likely die in prison and most certainly never see the light of day again, ' the Hall County District Attorney in Georgia had said in 2008 after Hilton was convicted just a month after he killed Meredith Emerson on New Year's Day of that year.
That was before he was sentenced for the killing of three other victims in a spree which lasted from the end of 2005. It is widely believed that Hilton also murdered several others, but either their bodies are yet to be found, or they were too decomposed to be tied definitively to him... How many people did Gary Hilton kill?
