Gary Michael Hilton Helped With Murder Movie

In a strange twist to an already bizarre case, an accused serial killer once helped develop a plot to a murder movie that had similarities to the crimes that he is now accused of committing. An Atlanta attorney who also produces movies said Gary Michael Hilton helped him come up with the plot of "Deadly Run" in 1995.

Samuel Rael told reporters that he was Hilton's attorney back in 1995 when he was accused of theft, arson and drug charges. At the time, Rael wanted to make a movie about a killer and he told Hilton about it.

"He was very enthused about that," Rael said. "And helped me outline the plot, the concept and the ideas behind it. He had ideas of how we could do what we did, which was 'Deadly Run.' Having people let loose in the woods then hunted down like prey."

"It was clear he was a sociopath," said Rael. "But I thought he had a very creative imagination."

In the movie, the main character would meet women, and then take them to the north Georgia mountains and tie them up in a cabin. He would then let them loose then track them through the woods.

Hilton has confessed to the murder and decapitation of Meredith Emerson, a University of Georgia graduate who was killed in the north Georgia mountains in January. He is also accused of the murder of Cheryl Dunlap of Crawfordville, Florida, whose body was found in the Apalachicola National Forest near Tallahassee.
