Break in missing hiker case

There has been a break in a murder case thought to be linked to Gary Michael Hilton, sentenced last week to life in prison for murdering a Georgia hiker. Police in North Carolina say skeletal remains found over the weekend are those of missing hiker John Bryant. Police believe Hilton is responsible for murdering Bryant and his wife Irene this past fall, after they disappeared while hiking. Hilton pleaded guilty to murdering 24-year-old Meredith Emerson last month after kidnapping her from Blood Mountain in North Georgia.
