bildeml1 Irene Bryant Murdered, John Bryant Missing

Held off on this one, as I wasn’t sure where it was headed. But since this is now a homicide investigation, I figured we should get this posted.

HORSE SHOE — Bob Bryant alerted authorities that his parents Irene, 84, and John, 79, had not come back from a hiking trip in the Pisgah National Forest. Crews worked for three days before finding the body of Irene Bryant, 84, partially covered by leaves about 25 yards from their vehicle. A medical examiner later found Bryant had been killed from blunt force trauma to the head. The couple’s bank card had been used to withdraw $300 from an ATM in Ducktown, Tenn and photos taken from bank surveillance cameras show a person wearing a yellow rain jacket withdrawing money at 7:35 p.m. The hood of the rain jacket obscures the person’s identity. Initially thought to be a missing hikers case, the search efforts first used dogs that are not trained to search for dead bodies. Because of the three-week lag to the massive search area and the two-state crime scene authorties haven’t had any luck in the case.

Here is the timeline of events so far:

Oct. 21, 4 p.m.: Someone uses Irene Bryant’s cell phone to call 911. The signal is lost, and the call never reaches an emergency call center. The provider is unable to lock onto a position using GPS. Irene Bryant was killed that day, authorities later say.

Oct. 22, 7:35 p.m.: Bryants’ bank card used to withdraw $300 from a machine at a Ducktown, Tenn., bank.
Nov. 2 or 3: Bob Bryant tells the Henderson County Sheriff‘s Office his parents are missing after not being able to reach them by phone or e-mail for two weeks. Neighbors noticing newspapers piling up outside the Bryants’ home also alert authorities.
Nov. 6: Search for John and Irene Bryant begins.
Nov. 6, 1:45 p.m.: Bob Bryant, after traveling from home in Texas, finds his parents’ Ford Escape on the side of Yellow Gap Road in Transylvania County.
Nov. 8: Law enforcement begins search of couple’s financial records for recent activity.
Nov. 9: Authorities determine couple’s bank card used.
Nov. 9: Sixty-five people join another 40 already searching for the couple. Searchers find body, which is sent for autopsy and identification.
Nov. 12: Search for couple suspended.
Nov. 13: Police go public with information on the bank card use, releasing photo from bank video. Medical examiner identifies body as that of Irene Bryant.

Damn. Imagine being killed for 300 bucks.

Or maybe they were driving really slow in the left lane and someone went road-rage on their asses, beating the PIN number out of them. I do see a hint of blue peeking out from m'lady's cap. If that was the case, good riddance and give the assailant an award.

Tux Princess

Swivel, you are such an asshole!! How would you feel if that was one of your family members?? Bet you wouldn't be so quick to hand out awards.

Whenever innocent people are murdered, it is a travesty no matter WHO they are!

Maybe you should pull your pompous head out of your ass and realize that these were older people who were lucky enough to be able to still go hiking in their golden years and didn't deserve anything remotely similar to what has happened to them.

Could it be that you are the asshole that committed this crime? Hmmm...

Morbid

swivel, I see you are at the top of your game this lovely Sunday morning!

Unfortunately for this couple and their family, it seems as if they were preyed upon by someone in that area. A shame, really. To make it that long, together no less, and meet your fate at the hands of someone wanting cash.

swivel

Buongiorno Principessa!

All four of my grandparents were dead before I was old enough to kill them myself, so I can't empathize with you. But look, at least these guys lived long enough to drive poorly and become victims of road rage. That's surely worth something.

Another positive spin on this: Social Security will remain solvent for 4 seconds longer than otherwise. Let's do our part by offing a few blue-hairs today, otherwise there won't be any benefits for us later!

thepooh5

Swivel, aren't you the one that doesn't believe in God?

I that is so, then, that explains the comments. But either way, what a prick!!!! I haven't resorted to name calling, except to those in sick articles posted here. But you take the cake. Damn, do you care about even the children we have been reading about?

Kristi

Swivel, any chance your just joking around? Having a little fun with some of the others?

I havn't been around to long or seen many of your posts, but those I have seen from you would not have lead me to believe that your a sadistic freak that wants to see all old bad drivers put to their death. Am I wrong here?

thepooh5

Doesn't look like you are wrong, Kristi. Swivel, I hope you are just jerking our chains.

If you are not joking, Morbid will probably be making a post about you and some missing elderly people.

Wonder

Has Mr Bryant ever been found ?
all these people and their stories seem to go cold
Wished the media would follow up with updates !!!

Morbid

There is nothing to update. Mr. Bryan has still not been found. Investigators are looking for some college students parked near their vehicle in hopes they may have seen something useful.

Did they ever link that prick that killed the Emerson girl to this crime?

thepooh5

It says they have enough to seek the death penalty - shouldn't they actually get him charged first?

Ruby

They did link him to it, conclusively, they said. And they found the remains, too. I tried to post all sorts of info about this a few days ago, but the site kept eating my posts and I got cranky and mean and took my toys and went home.

Anyway, yes, prosecutors are "certain" that this was also the work of Gary Hilton. The details are now lost to the cybergremlins.

Thanks, Ruby. I hadn't checked here in a few days. Now, have they formally charge Hilton for these murders or just conclusively linked him?

Has there been any trial date set for Hilton at this time or any further updates? Thanks!

I would like the site to add a section, Where are these POS's now ?

or at least flag them as having new info when someone updates / post on them :P

after few days the post just drop off... but we all want to know - what is happening behind the bars.

toasty bandit

I am Caitlyn Joyce Bryant, and you people make me sick. My grandparents are dead becuase they drive slow? You are a fool. My grandparents are hiking in a state park in the sky because the opression of our United States of America makes drifters (with no hope of finding a job) so desperate that they need to kill an old woman and hold her husband hostage in order to retrieve 300 dollars from their bank account. I would have given this man 300 dollars in order for my grandparents to be present at my wedding. Suck a fuck. When you watch the news and hear about the "remains of" anyone, post a comment then.

toasty bandit

who is Swivel?

knotme

who is Swivel?

Swivel is an agitator whose brain cells have "swiveled-up" from lack of sunshine and fresh air after living under a rock most of its life.

Swivel enjoys rocking the boat since its reproductive organ is likely too "swiveled-up" to rock anything else.

Swivel is just what it claims to be ... not fresh or vibrant, but dried-up and dead.

With all due respect, your grandparents were killed because they crossed paths with a sociopath. It has nothing to do with the man not finding a job. Being broke may cause someone to rob another, but it does not make you torture and decapitate them.

Abroad

Has anybody got an update on this case? Did they ever formally charge Hilton? Was there a trial yet? Has he been sentenced?

I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose parents in this horrible way. All those months of not knowing must have been awful. And waiting for justice cannot be easy at all.

Wolfscratch: FBI Charlotte has removed John & Irene Bryant; Pisgah Nat For, NC, from their: 'Most Wanted Information'
list,? Does this mean they have dismissed the Federal Case? Does this mean they have gathered enough evidence and info to seal the deal in a Federal Proscecution? Does this mean that negotiations have been underway seeking the truth and revealations of GMH & Associates' many victims. These are only a few of the possible explanations for the many delays...
I have been researching and backtracking Gary Michael (Mack)Hilton, since 01/06/08. Within a few days it was obvious that he wasn't a petty drifter down on his luck. This was an image that he created. His IQ when he went in the military was 167. He could have Ted Bundy's Professor.
When GMH, was asked by the Dawson Co, GA; jailer, "If you are so intelligent, why did you get caught?" GMH's reply, "They haven't caught me since I was 14 years old!"

The following post from another forum says it best:Pat Brown said...
We could use a strong accountability system not dependent on appeals, but rather oversight. The public/citizens have a right to know exactly how decisions are made and cases are handled. It does not have to been in the midst of the case but certainly afterward there should be transparency. If there isn't, how can we address issues of corruption, incompetance, and error? We need to know in order to fix problems and hold people accountable for what is supposed to be work done on behalf of the citizens. Somehow "the interest of the state" seems to preclude the citizenry which is odd considering the state IS the citizenry, well, at least in a democratic republic with a constitution.

GMH, is awaiting a Death Penalty trial in Leon Co, FL. There is a hearing scheduled to set the trial date on May 29,09. This hearing has been rescheduled several times without explanation. Some pretrial evidence was released but redacted beyond comprehension.
The average wait to receive lethal injection is aprox 20 years in FL. GMH is 62 years old. He was given a life sentence in GA(30 years min). Do the math. He will die of natural causes in prison.
GMH's greatest fear is Federal SuperMax. I can think of no one that deserves it more...

The film called "Deadly Run" is about a serial killer who hunts women he sets free in the woods. The producer of the film, Samuel Rael, says Hilton came up with the plot. For the 1995 screenplay, he says Hilton suggested, "go ahead and let some beautiful women out in the woods and then they could be hunted down like prey."
************************************************************
Samuel Rael/Producer/Attorney/'Officer of the Court', represernted GMH, for several crimes. One being Arson. Rael said that he knew he was sociopath, just didn't know that he was violent....
GMH, pulled his teeth, said that it made him look more evil.
GMH, told Jana Tabor/Attorney/'Officer of the Court'; wife of John Tabor/Attorney/'Officer of the Court'/employer of GMH, for 10 years, etc.,
"When I come off my meds, 'The Demons Come Back!"

Gary Michael Hilton: evil, demonic, cannibal, ritual: Serial Killer with no human emotions.

We have patterned his travels and although he changed his Signatures and MOs over the years to complicate identification by LE, a geographical timeline or profile is obvious.

'Found the link', the Sketch of the POI does resemble GMH. Although many victims of GMH & associates, will be revealed through DNA and other methods, many will go unsolved.
The reason given by LE to the public, via the media, that the DP was taken off the table in Meredith Hope Emerson(Blood Mtn Hker) case, was that GMH, would lead them to her remains. Although this may have played into the decision, the primary reason was to get a conviction asap. A GA Law dictated that GMH's DNA couldn't be released until indictment. His cae went from arrest to sentencing in less than 30 days. His DNA results were returned within 24 hours and cold case detectives from several states & jurisdictions were waiting for them. 'Meredith's Law', was swiftly passed that remeded this antiquated policy... Several states, including FL, have folowed suit in changing this law...

Wolfscratch: Meredith Hope Emerson, is why GMH's 'Trail of Terror' came to an abrupt halt. She was a kindred spirit & fighter.. She still is....

I contacted the Union Co(Blood Mtn)Tip Ctr., and reported that I had located an abandoned farmhouse where GMH, held Meredith Hope Emerson, during those 4 tragic days. Their were several sheds, a barn, and out bldgs. on the 110 acre property.
In one of the sheds there was a Large wooden wire reel where GMH, had tied up MHE, with section of manilla hemp rope with taped ends. She had frayed the rope by moving her shoulders back and forth, broke loose and fought him for the third time. Several of the wooden studs supporting the shed were broken during the fight. GMH, bragged at the Dawson Co Det. Ctr. that she almost overtook him.
Many of the items were taken to the crime lab for testing on 01/06/08. LE has returned to gather more items since that date.
Meredith Hope Emerson, refused to give GMH, her ATM code many times although her life was in jepardy. She was buying time for a rescue. She was a fighter....
