ORMOND BEACH, FL -- Investigators in Ormond Beach believe convicted killer Gary Michael Hilton might be connected to a central Florida murder.

Police said this week that they're hoping DNA evidence collected from the body of 27-year-old Michael Scot Louis connects the crime to Hilton.

Authorities found Louis' decapitated body in Tomoka State Park in December 2007. Authorities believe the grisly murder shares similarities with two other cases.

Hilton is already serving a life sentence in Georgia for killing hiker Meredith Emerson. He also is charged in the murder of Cheryl Hodges Dunlap, whose body was found in the Apalachicola National Forest, near Tallahassee, in December 2007.

Authorities believe Hilton might be connected to at least four other murders.
