On the evening Alexis Murphy went missing, she stood inside Randy Allen Taylor’s ramshackle camper while a man with her sipped Icehouse beer and smoked marijuana with Taylor, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Taylor, 48, didn’t know the man’s name but purchased $60 in marijuana from him, said Michael Hallahan, Taylor’s court-appointed attorney. Murphy, 17, neither smoked nor drank as the group talked, Hallahan said.
The Nelson County teen and the man left in separate cars before dark, Hallahan said. He never saw them again.
Eight days later, after finding a strand of Murphy’s hair in Taylor’s camper, authorities arrested him on an abduction charge, Hallahan said. He is being held without bond in Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail and faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence if convicted.
“We absolutely say that he is maintaining his innocence,” Hallahan said. “The evidence is very weak, from what I hear.”
Hallahan said the man police want is the one who sold his client marijuana —black, in his early 20s, wearing cornrows and driving a 1990s sedan with 22-inch rims.http://www.roanoke.com/news/2150555-12/defense-missing-teen-alexis-murphy-was-in-camper.html
LOVINGSTON — A Nelson County man charged with abduction in the disappearance of 17-year-old Alexis Murphy made his first appearance in court Tuesday while investigators continued their search — now in its 10th day — for the teenager.http://www.roanoke.com/news/2148660-12/nelson-county-man-charged-in-disappearance-of-teen.html
Saturday searchers looking for 17-year-old Alexis Murphy found a red sweater caught under a rock in the Rockfish River in Nelson County. While investigators haven't said if the sweater is connected to the case, they are looking into it.
Murphy was last seen almost a month ago at a gas station after leaving her home in Nelson County to go shopping in Lynchburg. Charlottesville Police found her abandoned car in a parking lot three days later, and Richmond FBI agents arrested and charged 48-year-old Randy Taylor as a suspect.
After a piece of Murphy's hair was found in his mobile home, Taylor claimed he saw her on the day of her disappearance, but is innocent. The case will go to a grand jury sometime this month.
Murphy is described as a black female with black hair and brown eyes. She stands about five feet, seven inches tall and weighs about 156 pounds.
Anyone with information about Murphy is asked to contact the Nelson County Sheriff's Office at 434-263-7050.
