I hope this “animal” spends the rest of his days in “HELL” He took a beautiful child away from her family and loved ones, and she will never be able to live the life she loved. I’m so sad and mad and heartbroken. Meredith should still be here and hiking and loving the life she lived, with “Ella” at her side. I can’t ask God to forgive this man, because what he did was “Unforgiveable”.

The body has been found, it’s so sad. just a note, the dogs name is Oliver or Ollie, not Ella.
note from blog owner:
I could not find any reference that refers to her dog as Oliver or Ollie. Everywhere, including the ACJ and the Associated Press, have called her dog Ella. Can you provide a reference otherwise?

I believe Ollie is the name of Cayle Bywater’s dog. She went missing in a Georgia park three days before Meredith and Cayle’s dog Ollie was found wandering as well!! Cayle has not been found. Look at her family’s website in her name for verification.

Something happened to this man as a child. I suspect his childhood was not pleasant and that he was likely abused verbally and physically. I’m a big believer in rehab, but in decades of living, he has clearly failed to find ways to heal himself, and, at 61, is far too old to change. He is a danger to society and should not become a costly burden to society. He needs to die immediately.
