Gary Michael Hilton is a serial killer who was convicted for the murders of four people, although many assume he has killed more. His M.O was to hunt down his victims while they were hiking or spending time on the trails, incapacitate them and keep them held hostage while he used their credit or debit cards. In this episode we will go over the murders of Cheryl Dunlap, Meredith Emerson and John and Irene Bryant.
Great book on the case:

Today we are joined by a very special guest, Cameron Esposito, to talk all things comedy and true crime! It’s the perfect mashup of worlds. Ash takes us through the Thelma Todd case from Thelma’s childhood in Massachusetts to when the young ✨Hollywood✨ starlet was discovered dead in her own car. Together we wonder what a car is exactly, why the Hollywood machine is so scary and whether we are prepared to be found paradoxically undressed. Thanks so much to Cameron for joining us!
