Sketch of boy's killer bears a striking resemblance to a man in jail

A 61-year-old man who was charged with the murder of a woman, has a striking resemblance to a sketch of a man wanted for the unsolved murder of 11-year-old Levi Frady.

Meredith Emerson's body was found in the same Dawson County forest as Levi Frady.

Investigator Vernon Keenan said, "There's no conclusion been made. There's no linkage that has been made."

Levi Frady was last seen alive on October 22, 1997. He was found shot to death the next day.

There was no molestation nor robbery, leaving investigators startled with no possible motive.

The suspect, Gary Michael Hilton, is also suspected in the murders of an elderly couple in North Carolina, as well as other murders in the state of Georgia, and in Florida.


Levi Frady's murder has no similarities to the other murders, except for the fact that Levi and Meredith were found in the same forest. Other circumstances proves the cases are unrelated.
The Frady family has a different view. They believe Gary Michael Hilton is the man in the skectch.

"The booking photo kind of caught my eye. It resembles the picture," said Justin Frady, Levi's cousin.
