to maybe 2007.

And when he came to you, how did he

appear to you at that time when you hired him?

In what context?

His demeanor.

I mean, was he

well-dressed, well-kept when he applied?

Looked like a normal person.

Just like a normal person.

Was he

living in the area, or do you know where he was

living at?

10

I don't know where he was living.

11

And did he have any family, or do you

13

At that time or --

14

Yes, at the time that you first --

12

know?

15

when you first hired him.

Because am I to assume

16

that's that when you first met him?

17

That's correct.

Do you know if he had local family or

where he was staying at the time?

Q

And you provided him with the

telephone for him to use?

At that time, yes.

Was that part of like to facilitate

his job with you?

Yes.

Did you know where he was living at

night or where he was residing?

No.

anything like that?

whether or not he lived in a storage building?


A

I just told you that I don't know

19

anything about where he was staying at the time I

20

hired him.

21
22

Did you eventually find out where he

was staying?

23

Not that I recall, no.

Did he put any requirements on the --

And what kind of dog are we talking

about?
(Whereupon Ms. Lori entered the deposition

10

room.)

11

(Whereupon off-the-record discussions

12

ensued.)
MS. SUBER:

13

Do you mind moving to the

other room to see if the other lawyers are going

15

to appear by phone?
THE WITNESS:

17

September 24, 2010

Q

1
2

So the requirement was that he was --

that he should be able to keep his dog?


A

I remember him making that request.

And I didn't have any problem accommodating that,

yes.

Was he a dependable employee?

To the best of my recollection, yes.

And during the period of time that he

9
10

worked with you, how many years?

You kept him for

like about ten years; right?

11

12

period.

13

I said off and on for about a ten-year

So the times that he was off, do you

14

know where -- was that a vacation, or was he being

15

paid as a regular employee, or what was the

16

situation?

17
18
19
20
21

I don't know where he would go when he

would leave.
Q

Did you ever pick him up in the woods

somewhere to help him out?


A

There was a time many years after he

22

was first hired, and I can't tell you what year it

23

was, but he called me and said that he had a

24

broken down vehicle somewhere in the North Georgia

25

mountains and he needed help getting out.

did help him get out, yes.


Q

But you don't recollect how long he

had worked for you when that occurred?


A

I would guess five years, four or

five, six years.


Q

It had been a while.

And during the time that he worked

with you, did you have any cause to alarm you that

he was a dangerous person that you had been

employing there or anything like that?

10

No.

11

Did he cause any problems with your

12

other employees that you have?

13

No, not really.

14

Did you ever -- what do you mean not

15

really?

16

didn't talk, or did he get into arguments?

17

Did he get along with them, or he just

I wasn't there to witness most of the

18

activity that went on in that office, but over

19

that period of time there were many people that

20

worked there.

21

particularly social and not necessarily wanting to

22

interact with others.

23
24
25

I just don't recall him being

I take it that your relationship with

him was just one of employer/employee?


A

Correct.

Q

You never socialize or anything of

that nature?

Absolutely not.

I am aware of some of the conversation

that you had with the Georgia Bureau of

Investigation where there was some other

insinuations that were posed to you.

aware of that, indicating that you guys perhaps

had a different relationship other than

questions?

Are you

Do you recollect those

12

Questions from whom?

13

From the Investigator Howard, with

14

Special Agent Howard when he talked to you.

15

Why don't you be specific.

16

How many times have you talked to the

17

police?

18

I don't know.

19

Could you give me an estimate of how

22

Dozens.

I have no idea.

Were they all tape-recorded?

They didn't say,

John Tabor

State of Florida vs Gary M. Hilton

September 24, 2010

like that?

Maybe on some occasions.

Do you recollect them coming to you

and saying that Mr. Hilton was making some

accusations or some allegations that you guys were

more than just employer and employee?

7
8

I remember them mentioning that at

some point.

Okay.

10

I don't think they even thought it was

11
12

credible, but they did mention that, yes.


Q

But you don't know, you have not seen

13

any statements actually made by -- you have not

14

heard Mr. Hilton actually saying that; right?

15

Have you?

16
17
18

I don't understand your question.

You're asking me, have I heard Hilton -Q

Yes.

Him actually saying those

19

allegations that they were telling you with your

20

own ears.

21
22
23

My own ears from Hilton's voice?

How would that be possible?


Q

No.

He was incarcerated.

I was just asking because oftentimes

when police, would you agree, the police might

25

want to make allegations to try to get to

something else, that they are fishing around?

I'm not here to speculate.

Did you feel that way when they were

questioning you, though?

No.

Now, there was a time -- and I'm not

here to even touch upon that because I represent

Mr. Hilton.

I heard of that was when the GBI made the

13

I'm court-appointed.

The first time

allegations in the statements.


A

The GBI made allegations?

What

allegations did the GBI make?


Q

Well, the GBI told you that Mr. Hilton

14

said certain things, and that's the first time

15

that we have heard of that.

16

touch upon that.

17

told you, and we learned from them as well.

But I'm not here to

That is something that the GBI

Now, what I want to talk to you about,

18
19

though, is that you appeared to have been an

20

employer that really cared for Mr. Hilton's

21

well-being.

22

correct?

You help him work for ten years;

Are you testifying --

Q

1

Were you an employee that helped

Mr. Hilton through the ten years or so that he --

I was not an employee.

Were you the employer that helped

Mr. Hilton as an employee through the ten years?

Did you help him?


A

He did his job.

I don't know what you

He did his job, and I

10

And you helped him get his vehicle.

11

I did offer him assistance on that one

12

occasion, yes.
Q

13
14

And if he didn't have money, you will

advance money for him on occasion?


A

15

He worked on commissions.

It wasn't

16

unusual for me to pay people, commissioned

17

salespeople that worked for me in advance.

18

was nothing unusual for me to do that for him or

19

for anyone else.


Q

20
21

That's what I wanted to

know.
Now, was there a time when Mr. Hilton

22
23

Thank you.

That

started changing when he was employed with you?

24

You need to be more specific.

25

Was there a time when Mr. Hilton's

demeanor started to changing?


A

If you're referring to the period of

time that I've talked about repeatedly in the

press, the last year or so that he was working for

my company, yes.

that, yes.
Q

7
8

Primarily that he had -- he just

He mentioned taking medications, but

11
12

What did you see?

see in him?

9
10

I've talked in some length about

Was there a period of time that he,

his behavior became like bizarre?


A

18

Well, the one episode that I recall

19

that I would consider bizarre is when he had

20

informed me that he had extracted one of his own

21

teeth.

22

see him showing where he had removed his tooth.

23

And I thought his behavior was a bit bizarre at

24

that time.

John Tabor

September 24, 2010

16

time, and we're talking about one or two years,

that he was preoccupied with issues?


A

3
4

I don't understand what you mean.

What issues?
Q

The world, the economy, the price of

gasoline, females, any issue in particular that he

was obsessing over?

No.

How would you describe his,

10

Mr. Hilton's, from what -- if you know,

11

relationship with his dog, Ranger?


A

12
13

He seemed to care a great deal about

his dog.
Q

14

I notice that in some of the answers

15

that you gave to investigators when this case

16

first came up that you indicated that when the dog

17

die, he -- Mr. Hilton went into a depression

18

episode.
A

19

I don't remember using that exact

20

term, but I somewhat remember that he was upset

21

about it.
Q

22

Do you remember him telling you or

23

that he had -- where he had buried him and all

24

that?

25

Yes, I do remember that.

September 24, 2010

17

that was a bit Strange, but he told me he had

buried the dog somewhere on the property of Stone

Mountain.

And there was a time, though, that you

allowed him to stay in your business because when

you closed your business it was abandoned and you

allowed him to stay there; is that correct?

8
9

Well, you said a bunch of things.

never abandoned my business.

I simply wasn't

10

using that office as a telemarketing operation any

11

longer.

12

very little time in that particular building.

And when I ceased doing that, I spent

agreement to let him stay on the property.

16

However, since I wasn't there and rarely went

17

there, I didn't object to him being on the

18

property simply because I thought it would be good

19

to help someone keep an eye on the place.

20
21
22

And there was never a formal

Did you go into the property to see

what kind of personal belongings he kept there?


A

No, I never went to go see what

23

belongings he kept there.

24

periodically, and other employees used the

25

property for equipment storage, trailer storage,

that type of thing.


Q

Was Mr. Hilton an individual that was

clean and kept himself clean at all times?


A

I didn't see him at all times.

can't answer that question.


Q

When you saw Mr. Hilton before the

period of one or two, or the last one or two

years, did you see Mr. Hilton as taking care of

himself and keeping himself clean at least, the

10
11

times that you saw him?


A

Nothing out of the ordinary.

He

12

was -- acted like a normal person, so I don't know

13

how else to answer your question.

14

The reason why I'm asking the question

15

is because it appears that you saw a change in

16

Mr. Hilton, the way that he was keeping himself.

17

Before, when he start -- was employed as when he

18

started one or two years before, did you notice

19

any change in the way he was keeping himself clean

I meant to say that it was not being

used for the business, so it was like empty, for

the lack of a better word.


Did you ever go and look and -- one

day and found there was a lot of filth, stuff,

stuff around?

Not particularly.

I mean, no, I don't

remember there being some episode where it was

suddenly filthy where before it had been clean.

didn't like his name Gary and he was going to

start using Mac?

7
8
9

I don't remember any specific reason

why he called himself Mac.


Q

Did he ever have any friends that you

10

know of or anything like people that would hang

11

out, even with other people that you employed,

12

like socialize with or anything?

13

Like I said, I don't know of him

14

socializing with anyone other than what I've said

15

in the past.

16

like I said, I didn't keep track of his social

17

life, just -- I'm just recalling things he

18

mentioned to me.

19

The woman Shaun, that's it.

But,

And you said to the, I think to the

20

Atlanta Journal-Constitution that there was a time

21

that his behavior became increasingly aggressive

22

and erratic.

23

What do you mean by that?


Just what we've already been

24

discussing.

That would go back to the time where

25

he started demanding money that he wasn't owed and

making threats.
Q

Has he been on that medication that he

told you, that Ritalin, when he pulled his teeth

or he told you that he had pulled his teeth?

I think so.

Was he doing drugs at the time that

you know of?

I don't know.

Did he smoke marijuana that you know

He said that he did.

10
11
12

of?
I don't have any

firsthand knowledge.

13

Do you know if he used alcohol?

14

I don't know.

15

In the times that you had contact, and

16

I believe that you said it was sometimes that

17

would you have contact when he was employed with

18

you, did you smell any alcohol on his breath or --

19

Not that I recall, no.

20

Don't recall.

Or make any cause for

21

you to think this guy's maybe high on drugs or

22

anything like that?

23

No.

24

Did you ever witness any

25

confrontations between Mr. Hilton and other

people?

No.

Did he tell you about that he had been

in the military?

Yes.

I think, yes, uh-huh.

Did he show you his field maneuvers

and all that or attempted to show you some

maneuvers?

No.

10

There was a time when you went to pick

11

him up at the campsite because his van had broken

12

down and you went over there and he was practicing

13

with a pellet -- was it a pellet gun or some kind

14

of weapon?

15

A pellet or BB gun.

16

That didn't cause you any concern at

18

No.

19

Were you aware that he had made a

17

all?

20

movie called The Deadly -- or supposedly help made

21

a movie called The Deadly Run?

22

Don't know anything about that.

23

Did he ever mention to you during the

24

years that you were employed that he was famous

25

because he had made a movie?

No.

And the vehicle that -- the last

vehicle that Mr. Hilton had that, the white van,

that was -- you bought him that vehicle, and you

were basically -- you still have the title to that

vehicle or not?
A

I have no idea where the title is,

but, yeah, I advanced him money to purchase it.

He wasn't the type of individual that could get a

10

loan.

11

well, so it was --

12
13

But I've done that for other employees as

And what you would do is advance him,

and then if they worked they would repay you?

14

Correct.

15

Do you know if he paid you that

16
17

completely for that vehicle?


A

No, because, like I said, at the time

18

he was demanding money, saying that I owed him

19

money, I think he was fully well-aware that he had

20

accrued moneys through the purchase of the van and

21

other advances to where he was way behind in his

22

commissions for what he had drawn.

arrears.

erratic behavior and the change that you saw in

him during that period of time?

right -- or the bizarre behavior that all of a

11

sudden after you advanced him so much money and

helped him that he would turn and alleging that

13

you owe him money when probably it was vice versa?


A

14

Well, yeah, I suppose I would have

15

considered that bizarre.

16

really believed that he believed it, so I don't

17

know.
Q

18

I wasn't sure whether I

that?

I don't know.

when he called him, Mr. Hilton, that?

No.

Was he saying that he was crazy or --

Well, you'd have to ask him.

6
7

I can't

testify to his state of mind.


Q

Do you remember who the person was

that came and listened to that, the name of the

officer?

10

No.

No.

They were -- I met, like I

11

said, quite a few officers, the GBI and the FBI.

12

And, no, I don't remember their names off the top

13

of my head.

14

Whenever Ranger died, and you said

15

that he was sad for a period of time or at least

16

you noticed that he was sad, do you know how long

17

it took him to endure that?

18

No.

19

Did he say anything to you about going

20

to a VA hospital or anything like that?

I have some vague recollection of him

stating that.

If you were to describe Mr. Hilton to

a person, how would you describe him?


A

Well, it depends on what, what point

in time I would be doing that.


Q

I want you to do it at the point in

time from the first time that you employed him to

like two years before he got -- he was arrested

10
11

for this offense in Georgia?


A

All right.

So if I would have to

12

describe him at the time I first employed him,

13

like I said, he seemed just like a normal person.


And now you're asking me to describe

14
15
16

him two years before what date?


Q

Before the time that he was arrested,

17

would you describe him as a normal person?

18

you also describe him as a reliable employee?

19
20

Would

I would -- I would have described him

as a loyal employee up until this time in 2007.

21

Okay.

22

Yeah.

23

Did he work hard?

24

He had worked hard, and he did his job

25

A hard worker?

well, uh-huh (affirmative).

3

And after the 2007 incident, how would

you describe him?


A

Well, 2007, there wasn't just one day

this happened.

months where his behavior just became more

bizarre, if you will.

7
8
9

There was a period of time and

So there was certainly a change in his

attitude and his behavior?


A

Yes.

But, like I said, I can't

10

pinpoint a day.

11

of months because, here again, I didn't see him.

12

I didn't see him in person, maybe not for months

13

at a time, so most of our conversation would be

14

via the telephone.

15

I can just tell you over a period

And here again, that wasn't on a daily

16

or not even a weekly basis.

17

you that through that period of 2007, maybe

18

starting in the spring or end of winter, I'm not

19

sure when, he just didn't seem to be doing his job

20

any longer and making excuses for why he wasn't

21

doing his job.

22

So I can just tell

And considering that he had been a

23

good employee for so, so long, I didn't

24

immediately become alarmed.

25

what he was telling me, that he had been ill and

John Tabor

he wasn't feeling well and couldn't work for weeks

at a time, but, you know, he expected to be back

to work.

and until it got to the point where it became

threatening.

6
7

So that went on for a period of months

Has anyone sued you in relation with

the business when Mr. Hilton was your employee?

I don't understand your question.

Has anybody sued you as a result of

10

that business that you had during the period of

11

time that Mr. Hilton was employed with you?

12
13

How is that reasonably calculated to

lead to admissible evidence in this case?

14

I'm just asking.

15

You're asking about my personal -- my

16
17

business.
Q

I'm just asking because my question

18

was going to be whether or not Mr. Hilton was

19

involved in that lawsuit in any way.

20
21
22

There was a lawsuit, but Hilton had

nothing to do with the lawsuit.


Q

That's all I wanted to hear.

23

24

to kill you and all of that stuff, why did you go

25

to the press and to CNN?

you, or were you contacting them?

They were contacting me relentlessly.

And you talked to the press several

More than several times.

4
5

times?
From the

moment I identified Hilton as the person of

interest and that was verified, my phone rang

constantly.

Is there anything that I have not

10

asked you that you might think is pertinent in

11

dealing with Mr. Hilton?


You met Mr. Hilton in a period of time

12
13

where I didn't have any contact with him, during

14

his work or anything.

individual Mr. Hilton was?
