Although we all knew it would probably end this way, it's always sad when the reality of the situation comes to light.
The body of missing hiker Meredith Emerson has been found.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation told Channel 2 after speaking with suspect Gary Hilton after his court appearance Monday afternoon, they took Hilton to Dawson State Forest and he helped them locate Meredith Emerson's body Monday night.
The 24-year-old University of Georgia graduate had been missing since New Year's Day.
Officials said her body was found in Dawson State Forest in Dawson County — the same place searchers were looking Monday. Authorities said they began to search the area after citizens reported seeing Hilton's van there.
"At appoximately 7:30 this evening, the body of Meredith Emerson was discovered in a wooded area inside Dawson Forest in Dawson County," GBI Special Agent In Charge John Cagle said. GBI Director Vernon Keenan said Emerson's family was informed immediately after her body was found.
My prayers are with her family.
