yes. with meredith. that she almost took him. i don t really believe everything that he says, but that part i believe. there s no doubt that she fought. you know, maybe it s a little bit that kind of gives you a little smirk to know she almost got him. she gave him a run for his money and i m sure that he may have thought, i maybe should have chosen somebody else. eventually hilton wore meredith down. by then they were way off the main trail. hilton tied his captive to a tree and doubled back to that site where he had been stripped of his weapons. the bay net was gone, lost on the forest floorks and a hiker had already picked up the police baton. hilton returned to meredith. i told her i had a gun and, you know, i was going to shoot her ass now. skirting the main trail, he led meredith to his van in the trailhead parking area. there he secured her with chains in the back of his vehicle and then proceeded to steal her bank cards from beneath the front seat of her car.
