Hack Saw, Porn, Needles & Bong Found In Hilton's Van
POSTED: 4:56 pm EST February 12, 2008
UPDATED: 7:24 pm EST February 12, 2008

ATLANTA -- There are new revelations today about what investigators found inside confessed killer Gary Hilton’s van. Tuesday, Channel 2 got an exclusive copy of the report for his van.
In January, Hilton admitted to killing Georgia hiker Meredith Emerson.
Whenever Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents get a search warrant they’re required to file a document which lists everything they found inside. It is an extremely detailed document and the GBI told Channel 2’s Jodie Fleischer that some of the items listed are still considered evidence in other pending cases against Gary Hilton.

When agents with the GBI caught Hilton January 4, he was at a DeKalb County gas station. His white van was parked near the vacuum cleaner and officials say, he was trying to destroy evidence. But he didn’t get it all.
"He lives in it, it's his home and everything he owns probably was in that van and so when you think of it that way it was potentially a big evidentiary catch,” said John Cagle with the GBI.
The list is lengthy and detailed. Twenty shirts and a dozen pair of pants, eight jackets, 29 hats and three sleeping bags.

Medical papers in the van confirmed Hilton does have multiple sclerosis. Hypodermic needles and various medications were also found along with pornographic magazines, personal lubricant, condoms and a bong.
"Some was very expensive cold weather gear, something you'd look at him and someone virtually homeless and lives in his van, how would he acquire that kinds of stuff,” Cagle.
Some of it may have belonged to other people, like Emerson, who Hilton admitted kidnapping on New Years Day and then beating to death in the north Georgia woods. Hilton’s weapons included a sling blade, a hack saw and three air pistol BB guns.
"We not only recovered things that were helpful to Florida but some other timeline items that also will be helpful to North Carolina,” said Cagle.
Agents found at least four separate blood stains -- one of the outside of the sliding door of the van, another on a yellow jacket which may have been the one hiker John Bryant was wearing when he and his wife were kidnapped and murdered in North Carolina. Hilton is a suspect in their deaths.
Agents swabbed several items including a fanny pack, a receipt and a yellow raincoat. Surveillance pictures at a Ducktown, Tennessee ATM show someone wearing a yellow raincoat using the Bryant’s bank card after they were reported missing.
The GBI would not confirm which specific items are part of cases in other states. They did say all of the Georgia evidence will now be sent to the state crime lab in Florida. Hilton is the only named suspect in the murder of a woman found in a national forest in Florida.
He has not been charged in either the Florida case or the case of the Bryant’s.

Gary Michael Hilton campsite found in Georgia

Staff Reports

A campsite belonging to convicted murderer Gary Michael Hilton was found in northern Georgia.

Hilton is suspected in the slayings of Henderson County couple Jack and Irene Bryant, who disappeared October 2007 while hiking near the Cradle of Forestry in the Pisgah National Forest. He has not been charged in the killings.

A hunter scouting for deer signs stumbled on the campsite Friday in Fannin County, GA., which is located on the border between Georgia and Tennessee, said Sgt. Justin Turner of the Fannin County Sheriff’s Department.

The hunter contacted the U.S. Forest Service who identified the site as belonging to Hilton.

Hilton was known to frequent that area of the national forest, Turner said.

The campsite was located in a remote, wildlife nature area of the forest. It contained personal items and camping equipment. Turner did not know if any of the items had a criminal nature.

All the items have now been turned over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, where Hilton is awaiting trial for the murder of Cheryl Dunlap, of Tallahassee, Fla., said John Bankhead, spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The N.C. Bureau of Investigation has been made aware of the campsite. Florida authorities will contact them if any items can be connected to the Bryants’ killings, Bankhead said.

Hilton is currently serving a life sentence for the abduction and murder of Georgia hiker Meredith Emerson, 24. The campsite was located near Union County where Emerson was kidnapped, Turner said.

The body of Irene Bryant, 84, was found in the Pink Beds area of Pisgah National Forest in November 2007. The body of Jack Bryant, 80, was found three months later near Franklin.
