Murder on Blood Mountain

February 07, 2008

It has been barely a month since 24-year-old Meredith Emerson left her home on New Year’s Day with her faithful dog, Ella, a black Labrador. With Ella following closely alongside her, Meredith set out on a day-long hike in the rugged mountains of the Chattahoochee National Forest located some 90 miles north of Atlanta. An experienced hiker who’d had training in martial arts, Meredith was familiar with the area and the fact that it connected with the Appalachian Trail that extends from Georgia to Maine.

Previously a resident of Longmont, Colorado, Meredith had recently relocated to Buford, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, and had been to the forest area on prior occasions where she had jogged with a friend. However, when she failed to return home on Tuesday evening, January 1, 2008, Meredith’s friends and relatives became worried and reported her missing.

I was hiking with my friends on New Years Day on the Apalachen Trial and saw Meredith and that man , because the two had to stop in a curve, since we ten people came down the trail and her dog was pulling her up the trail and I talked to her, about her dog pulling her like my sibirian husky used to do, but she just looked into my eyes and did not answer me, so I thought, the two had a fight, because I watched the two stopping on the trail and talking
When I saw the news , I recognized her, because of her big eyes, I did never see his face, because his face was turned to her,
I will never forget her face and the look on her face
how sad
