Guilty

Gary Hilton plead guilty to the murder of Meredith Emerson. Hopefully he will come clean on what other murder and mayhem he has committed.

t's unknown whether Hilton's plea Thursday could touch on any of the other murder cases in which he has been named a suspect.

•Florida authorities say Hilton is a suspect in the slaying of Cheryl Hodges Dunlap, 46, of Crawfordville, Fla. She disappeared Dec. 1 and was found dead in Apalachicola National Forest on Dec. 15.

Florida State Attorney Willie Meggs said the Dunlap case was still being treated as a "law enforcement matter," and that officials are continuing their investigation.

•North Carolina officials have named Hilton as a suspect in the October slaying of avid hikers John Bryant, 79, and Irene Bryant, 84. The Bryants were last seen alive Oct. 20 in the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina. Irene Bryant's body was found bludgeoned three weeks later while John Bryant remains missing and is believed dead.
