Methamphetamine traffickers sentenced
By Nicole Green
Staff Writer
A Dawsonville man who
fled trial in February pleaded
guilty last week to trafficking
methamphetamine.
William Shawn Kilgore,
33, will serve 13 years in
prison followed by seven
years of probation. Chief
Superior Court Judge Jeffrey
S. Bagley also fined Kilgore
$200,000, the minimum
amount defined by Georgia
law.
Kilgore was indicted Sept.
8. 2003, by a grand jury with
one count of methampheta
mine trafficking. Kilgore,
Arthur Stephen Bowden Jr. of
Roswell and Mark Alan

It first appeared to detec

ed into an abduction. Then the
evidence pointed to Endres
being the target of a stalker
or sexual predator.
The sheriff said family
members and close associates
of Endres have been exten
sively interviewed and ruled
out as suspects.
“We've cleared them. We
feel confident about that,"
Paxton said.
Detectives are still await
ing two pieces of information
from the FBI analysis
from a set of smudged finger
prints lifted from Endres’
SUV and a behavioral profile
of the suspect crafted from
questionnaires filled out by
family members and friends.
The unknown fingerprints are
from four fingers on a left
hand, excluding the thumb.
The sheriff is not relying
on the information to crack
the case.
"We need to be mindful of
the fact that just because we
have unknown fingerprints
doesn’t mean they belong to
the assailant." Paxton said.

amount of meth, Kilgore said
he could not get that amount
of the drug but Bowden
could. Kilgore exchanged the
drugs for the money offered
