11-21-07 27-year-old Michael Scot Louis had been missing since around November 21. If he'd been missing since November 21, what transpired between then and December 6, when his remains were discovered? Police say the time of death had been determined as 2-7 days before Michael's remains were found. That means there is a period of time where Michael may have been alive but unaccounted for.

Thanks for doing the time line...that is very helpful.

[sweetmop]

SuziQ, thank you so much for doing this timeline!

[SuziQ]

A reminder that this is a discussion only thread. However, I certainly can't complain about "thank you's". So thank you for your thank you's!

While I'm here breaking my own "discussion only" rule, I need to thank all the sleuthers who dug up the dirt I used to make the timeline.

Now no more discussion ok? :blowkiss:

Official: Hilton may plead guilty to killing hiker
Hearing set for today in Dawson County in death of 24-year-old Buford hiker
http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/article/3051/
Jan. 31, 2008 4:05 a.m.

"A guilty plea to murder less than a month after charges were filed would be highly unusual. Most murder cases routinely take a year or more to resolve.
Hilton, 61, faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted of murder. Under current pardons and paroles guidelines, he would be eligible for parole in 30 years."

[SuziQ]

Florida authorities said the man who admitted to murdering 24-year-old Georgia hiker Meredith Emerson has now been indicted in the death of Cheryl Hodges Dunlap.

When attorney-turned-movie producer Samuel Rael decided he wanted to make a film about a serial killer in 1995, it was former legal client Gary Michael Hilton who he says came up with the plot.
