A mugshot of 23-year-old Keegan Cleve Phillips, who was arrested and charged with murder on August 8, 2023. A man said that he and his son picked up a hitchhiker that morning who turned out to be Phillips.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced on August 8 that police had successfully captured Phillips, 23, of Otto, North Carolina after Rabun County Sheriff's Office after being tipped off about the body. The unnamed victim's body was found on August 7, and Phillips has now been charged with murder.

Jimerson told the news station that he had noticed the man he picked up was carrying a backpack and had a foul smell. He later learned from a phone call that Phillips had a human head in the bag.

"There's a smell in this car, it's awful," Jimerson said.

* This poor guy, watching the video is so much better than reading about it. I would have loved to have seen his face when he found out later what that smell had been. His son will never forget this. What tales they’ll be able to tell their buddies.
