I sure hope they can prove that he stalked AM. He seems to have been aware that she had ties to Charlottesville. I believe he is the anon who mentioned, on ask fm, her leggings, getting pot, and possibly read her comment about the Liberty gas station. Remember, AM's aunt remembers seeing RAT's vehicle on the Murphy's street.

I wonder if they will deal with the issue of the resident, on the horseshoe-shaped road that heard/saw a white vehicle come down the road and go out the unusual way.
Does anyone know if LE can id who it was posting those sick comments on AM's SM as "anon". If it was RAT, online stalking would be pretty evident, right down to anon saying they will probably meet that weekend, and posting a countdown.
Also THANKS to all for the updates!

Do these posts still exist? Do you have a link? Thanks, in advance. I remember looking at some of her social media in the beginning but I think I may have missed this.
 
Anyone remember the Icehouse beer thing that was released to the media ?

I wonder if this icehouse beer thing is what the Unidentifed DNA in the car came from.

Not sure just reflecting over his statements to LE or media ..etc..

Yes, I remember that and iirc RAT inferred that CRD had a beer with him. I just figured RAT saved or just took a bottle from trash from anywhere.

Go to the first thread, AM victim, post 174. or search: ask forum
AM RealFolarin. Follow her question and answer thread. Warning: crude to say the least.

Prosecutor Anthony Martin says the *advertiser censored* photos satisfy elements of an abduction "with intent to defile" charge against Randy Taylor

Taylor's attorney trying to block admission of *advertiser censored* photos into evidence, claims it would "smear" defendant's reputation

Investigators say while interviewing Randy Taylor on Aug. 7, four days before his arrest, he is "vital asset" of info in Alexis Murphy case

This article is the most detailed and uses quotes as opposed to summarizing.
These bits were the most glaring to me:
"Defense attorney Michael Hallahan objected to Commonwealth’s Attorney Anthony Martin’s attempt to enter photographs taken from Taylor’s camper that depicted the head of a young woman purported to be a former Miss Teen Virginia pasted onto other women’s bodies. “He’s charged with abduction with intent to defile,” said Martin. “This would satisfy the intent to defile.”

Judge Michael Gamble did not allow the photos to be entered, but by the end of the day said he was reconsidering whether they should be entered...

... the sealed evidence bag containing Taylor’s blue, Miller Lite-logoed t-shirt, upon which Murphy’s blood was found on the back of the shirt, was opened in court, along with a hair extension that one witness described as “enough to make a ponytail.”



“It’s comforting to me to know she fought,” said Trina Murphy later outside the courthouse. “She fought for her life.”


BBM above, his boss' (friend's) daughter is a former Miss Virginia Teen. http://missvirginiausa.com/jacqueline-carroll
 
And more details here:
http://m.dailyprogress.com/news/tes...b34-d4bd-11e3-9644-001a4bcf6878.html?mode=jqm

"A human nail embedded in carpet, a long hair root and a diamond stud found in the camper Aug. 7 also have been linked to the teenager through DNA, according to evidence."

About the Icehouse Beer:
"Michael Hallahan, Taylor’s attorney, said Taylor gave a statement to police that he drank Icehouse beers with a man who was with Murphy in his camper that night and asked if bottles were examined; Overholt replied two Icehouse bottles were collected and analyzed."

In an Aug 5th interview, RAT told investigators, "his 13-year-old son went to Nelson County High School with Alexis; he fathered the boy with an ex-girlfriend, whose family owns the property where his camper sat."

IMO, That was a lie. As we would later learn, his son started at the HS in September...after Alexis disappeared.

CHILLING! So did he make these himself? A planner. just chilling.
Wasn't the former boss also defending him early on.

Yes, even using her teenage daughter as an example that RAT never did anything untoward re: the daughter.

Here the employer uses the last name Vann but we determined that she went by Vann and Phillips.

"Theresa Phillips was Randy Taylor's boss.

"I have a beauty queen for a daughter. She's 19 years old. She's Miss VA United States. Never had a problem with him. He was in a room with her a week and a half ago before all this happened [and] on Friday night, the day before the girl went missing. Never acted inappropriate. Never did anything inappropriate," said Phillips.

Phillips said in the five years she knew Taylor, she never noticed anything suspicious.

"He would do anything I asked him to do. He was a very nice guy," Phillips added."
 
I sure hope the DA is aware that RAT was with the former Miss Virginia Teen the day before Alexis Murphy disappeared, per Theresa Phillips (Vann.)

Should someone remind them of this quote?
 
I wonder if RAT knew the unidentified DNA contributor in Morgan Harrington's case and if he and that guy may have worked together re: MH's murder.
RAT was in the area in 2009. I just keep thinking of how he made sure police knew about that Icehouse beer and his effort to set up CRD.
 
Planner is right. Oh my goodness and this creepy thing has been sitting at stores just glaring. Going home to his 12 videos plus one. It is the motive. Using violence, streets smart to act out sexual fantascies. Power & control.

Thanks JustK & 4myguys for the updates. I sure hope the judge reconsiders. I'd forward it to the prosecution, it never hurts and you never know. jmo

There is a Miss Teen VA USA and a Miss VA USA....as well as other categories...

and then there is the other pageant circuit, title sans the USA ...
 
If LE has any physical evidence that RAT's DNA (or fingerprints) were in Alexis's car, then that would be a huge point.... it all hinges on who drove that car back to Carmike.

My biggest question is, for them to charge him with murder, doesn't there have to be undeniable physical evidence proving that 1) Alexis lost an unrecoverable volume of blood, 2) There is enough physical evidence to place her in his trailer and his DNA physically returning her car to the lot.

her car
I would say that the evidence they have so far proves undeniably without a doubt that he is responsible for whatever happened to Alexis. Nothing else needed. He did it and he was alone when he did.

The quotes, links and info re: the "beauty queen" have been sent to Mr Anthony Martin :)
 
Thank you; this trial is hard to follow via reporters...

Yes, and I hope that they put T P (Vann) on the stand to testify that he was a car detailer, her personal assistant, worked on the used car lot, stayed at her house, how she has the former teen, beauty pageant contestant, daughter and that RAT was with her the night before Alexis disappeared.

I wonder if he was near her the nights before other girls went missing? (MH, SC, DS, etc)
 
Jeremy D’Errico, an FBI computer scientist, testified Monday he searched Taylor’s camper for a cellphone Aug. 11 and found the navy blue shirt “balled up” about an arm’s length under a sofa. The shirt contained hair extensions and an eyelash extension, he said.

Jon Cromer, of the Virginia State Police, said the hair “was enough to make a ponytail of” and outside of the scope of the team’s search warrant so the camper was sealed and he left to get another warrant.

Hallahan said Taylor gave a statement to police that he drank Ice House beers with a man who was with Murphy in his camper that night and asked if bottles were examined; Overholt replied two Ice House bottles were collected and analyzed.

Two women who worked at Lovingston Liberty gas station describe #RandyTaylor as a "regular" who "gawked" at teenage girls. #AlexisMurphy

#BREAKING: Gas station clerk says Taylor would come in, buy cigarettes & beer, then sit in parking lot & watch kids everyday. #AlexisMurphy

That's called loitering! Why didn't anyone call the cops, especially if they thought he was creepy! Alexis should have been saved and could have...it sounds like! SMH! We all need to remain vigilant all the time...the world is a very cruel place these days!!

Prayers for the Murphy family & the Harrington Family. I think it is wonderful that Gil is supporting the Murphy family in this way!
