Investigators had recov
ered three bloody fleece
tops like the kind Meredith
Emerson wore and said
they held out little hope of
finding her alive.
“It’s gone from a search
and rescue to a search and
recovery,” Union County
sheriff’s investigator
Kimberly Verdone said.
Authorities served a
warrant Saturday evening
charging Gary Michael
Hilton, 61, with kidnapping
with bodily injury, Georgia
Bureau of Investigation
spokesman John Bankhead
said. Hilton, who investiga
tors have said was the last
person seen with Emerson
on the traii, was detained
Friday after trying to use
Emerson’s credit card,
according to the warrant.
Three bloody fleece tops
believed to be Emerson’s
and a bloodstained piece of
a car’s seat belt were found
in a trash bin beside a con
venience store where Hilton
had used a pay phone, the
warrant stated. Hilton had
attempted to vacuum and
wash portions of his 2001
Chevrolet Astro van. which
was found without the rear
seat belt, according to the

Hilton already was in
federal custody near
Atlanta, held on a warrant
for failure to appear in
court on a charge of aban-'
doning property in a
national park. He was
cooperating with investiga
tors and has requested a
court-appointed attorney
for his first court appear
ance, which is set for today,
Union County Officer Gayle
Bachelor said Sunday. She
declined to allow The
Associated Press to speak
with him by phone.
Search teams focused
again Sunday on a
5-square-mile area of
mountainous terrain about
90 miles north of Atlanta in
the Chattahoochee
National Forest, near where
Emerson’s car was discov
ered Wednesday, Bankhead
said.
The search had been
focused on Vogel State
Park, at the base of Blood
Mountain in the national
forest, where Emerson was
last seen on New Year’s
Day hiking with her black
labrador retriever, Ella.
