Hiker's alleged attacker remains in custody
Today a judge denied bond for a drifter accused of kidnapping and killing a 24-year-old hiker in the north Georgia mountains. Gary Hilton was charged yesterday with the murder of Meredith Emerson.

Hilton led authorities to Emerson's body Monday evening in exchange for an agreement that prosecutors not seek the death penalty against him for Emerson's killing.
