Deep in the vast forests of the American Southeast, hikers began to vanish without a trace. What investigators uncovered was a chilling pattern that spanned multiple states — a drifter who used national forests as his personal hunting ground. In this episode of Bloodstained Backstories, Jace unravels the disturbing story of Gary Michael Hilton, the man known as The National Forest Killer. From the mysterious death of 11-year-old Levi Frady, to the brutal murders of John and Irene Bryant, Cheryl Dunlap, and Meredith Emerson — this is the dark journey of a predator who turned nature’s sanctuary into a place of horror. Join us as we explore Hilton’s twisted motives, his capture, and the lasting impact of his crimes.
A story of fear, survival, and the evil that can lurk in even the most peaceful places.
