Blood Mountain

What they never mentioned is that Gary Michael Hilton was able to avoid arrest because there is no one tracking his crime pattern, called "Express Kidnapping." He kept Meredith alive to get her ATM card and PIN, and when he got them he murdered her, after four days of torture. If there had been a crime statute for "Forced ATM Withdrawal" they would have been onto him years earlier. That's because the crime statute is used to track crimes. That's all it would have taken to save her and 84 other of his victims. AT THE SAME TIME, Bruce Mendenhall, a cross-country trucker from Illinois, was doing the same thing to women he attacked other women in the same area. That would have saved Mendenhall's 55 victims as well. They also both benefitted from leaving bodies in multiple states, so that the police never shared information.
