00:00and everything when you told police that was part of the strategy you see is it's reverse
00:05anthropomorphism rather than assigning human qualities to an animal they assign animal
00:12qualities to humans so he's got his laughing lovable golden retriever he must be okay right
00:20reverse anthropomorphism some men use dogs to meet women that way you use your dog to meet
00:26victims that way it worked on her right now you're walking up towards the summit on the trail in
00:31close proximity the presence of so many other people on the trail didn't dissuade you i'm telling
00:36you it should have i walked up up the trail with her for a ways and several people saw me
00:44with her
00:45right and as a matter of fact one guy and it turns out that he was law enforcement yeah yeah
00:51one guy
00:52said are you with her and i said no that was that should have killed it right there moments later
00:59alone with meredith on the trail the former army soldier brandished his bayonet blade and prepared
01:04to strike but subduing her wouldn't be nearly as easy as he expected meredith emerson was trained
01:10in martial arts and ready for the aging maniac you confront her with the bayonet she attacks the
01:16weapon she shocked me she had real quick hands and she grabbed the knife blade she cut her head
01:24slightly like i said the man that was not sure she grabbed it and i was so slack i was
01:30like mollygagging
01:31around didn't have a good firm grip on it and she twisted it right out of my hand so she
01:37disarms you
01:38but she loses control of the bayonet too at the same time now you know you've badly miscalculated
01:45you resort to your second go-to weapon the police baton and she just proceeded to grab the baton and
01:51took that out of my hand so now you're getting your ass kicked by a girl in the water no
01:56no sounds like
01:57it not at all really i sensed at this moment that pressing hilton might help reveal just how prideful
02:05and heartless he is to get inside his head i needed to get under his skin what do you think
02:11you're
02:11armed she's not you have what 40 or 50 pounds on her not very manly of you mr hilton you
02:18pick a weak
02:18victim an army soldier would call that a punk move no one was there but her and me and i'm
02:25telling you
02:26frankly even the best of us have bad days okay and no it wasn't a punk move because guess what
02:34happened
02:35then after she took the bat she took the bayonet what happened then you had to hand fight her you
02:42said and what happened then well you overpowered her just barely it sounds like no not just barely
02:48no no where did you get that at well you said to the police i had to hand fight her
02:52i probably have
02:53multiple fractures in my right hand yes that's right i still couldn't get control of her she would
02:57feign or pretend that i was in control and then start fighting again so i had to hit her a
03:02number of
03:02times straight punches to the face or the head right but i had control of her i had her had
03:09her
03:09with my left hand the whole time so what happened i beat her ass can i ask you this empathy
03:17mercy
03:19decency did those ideas ever register with you at all yes i have four different personalities
03:26a soldier a scientist an artist and a comedian hilton says he has multiple personalities to which he
03:33ascribes four respective professions though he is qualified in none the soldier and the scientist
03:39they're totally rational unemotional the artist is concerned with textures and feelings and emotions
03:45and and the comedian wants to make people happy the soldier personality is an is emotionalist
03:52kill them all let god sort them out that's the soldier mentality is it possible that um all that
03:58talk about being an army soldier was delusional on your part no no no i've been tested too many times
04:06i've been in too too many fights for over over 20 years hilton forcibly abducted meredith emerson
04:14and chained her to the chassis inside his white van while meredith languished a massive search was
04:20underway to find her that garnered widespread media attention but the scale of the crime scene nearly
04:26a million acres of georgia's chattahoochee national forest was daunting no trace yet of a missing 24 year
04:33old gwinnett county woman we were there from sunup to sundown meredith emerson could do anything
04:38if anybody can survive this she can we haven't found anything here yet the community rallies yeah
04:43i i thought this would just pass unnoticed just a another hiker missing in the mountains man no big
04:50deal maybe a paragraph in the paper good grief suddenly the investigation was blown wide open
04:56police pick up a digital trail as meredith repeatedly sends hilton to atm machines with the wrong pin number
05:03signaling his location hilton is publicly identified as the prime suspect last seen by witnesses with meredith
05:11emerson alive the race is on to rescue meredith and apprehend hilton it is going to be a white male
05:18between the ages of 50 and 60 years old but the next discovery would change everything the body of
05:2684 year old irene bryant was discovered on november 9th in the north carolina woods and her husband 80
05:31year old john is still missing it turns out that meredith emerson is not the first person attacked on
05:36hilton's killing spree only the latest you never intended to let her go never now you keep pointing
05:43to robbery but that sure seems like a pretext for what you described as paraphilia was that just an
05:51excuse to torture and kill people no torture and kill people hold on torture i didn't torture anybody
