Blessed be the family and friends of Taylor, the only consolation is that she is found and soon can be laid to rest. The police are to be commended for their work in locating Taylor, with hope their continued work will put those responsible behind bars for the rest of their sorry nary-do-well lives to protect society from them/him hurting anyone else.

Gone is the promise of this beautiful and gifted teen, gone is the promise of the children she may have had, too the promised that lay in wait in the future for Taylor.

This is an infatima!

Online content key in Behl's discovery
Photographs and the help of an ex-girlfriend of Benjamin Fawley help solve a teen's disappearance.
BY MATHEW PAUST AND MATT SABO
(804) 642-1738
October 7, 2005
MATHEWS -- The Mathews High School class of 2000 voted Erin Crabill "Most Unique."

Now she's at the periphery of the mystery surrounding the death of Virginia Commonwealth University student Taylor Behl, whose body was found in a shallow grave on land adjoining property owned by some of Crabill's family members.

Crabill was known by Benjamin Fawley, the man considered a suspect in Behl's death, according to friends and Fawley's Web log.

Fawley, a self-described amateur photographer, is in police custody, but not because of Behl's disappearance. Investigators following leads that he was seen with her the night she vanished arrested him after finding child pornography on a computer in his home. He is in a Richmond jail without bond.

Fawley had a romantic relationship with Behl, according to his attorney Chris Collins.

"We certainly believe that the strongest suspect they have already is in custody," said George Peterson, an attorney representing Behl's mother, Janet Pelasara.

Peterson said the parents of one of Fawley's former girlfriends owns a property next to the area where the remains were found. Police have been interviewing that woman, Monroe said.

"As far as I understand, Taylor has never been to that area - however, as you may know, Ben Fawley has been," Peterson said.

Peterson said he believes more than one person might have been involved in Behl's disappearance. Police dogs tracked the scent from Behl's car to the home of a 22-year-old employee of the Village Cafe, where Behl had dinner the night she disappeared, Peterson said. Fawley also worked at the cafe, Peterson said.

"It seems very coincidental and suspicious to me," Peterson said.

The man was charged with cocaine possession after police searched his apartment, Peterson said. He later took a polygraph test, and failed two sections: one in which he said he didn't know Behl, and one in which he said he'd never been in her car, Peterson said.

Other electronic evidence has proved central in the investigation of what happened to the 17-year-old Behl. She was active in several online communities, and investigators had quick access to her conversations with other Web users.

Fawley's cyber posts remained Thursday within view of the Web surfing public. In an Aug. 9 entry to his blog, he claimed that he had a two-year romantic relationship with Crabill while she lived in Richmond.

Repeated attempts to reach the Crabill family were unsuccessful on Thursday. On Wednesday, a female who answered the phone at the Crabill house declined to answer questions.

"Nobody here really wants to talk," she said.

Fawley's dispute with Crabill, according to his online journal, centered on some photos that he had on his Weblog that he took of Crabill.

He claims he had a verbal agreement with her that she was going to sell the photos to a Web site and that he would receive credit for them. But she broke the agreement, he wrote, by failing to give him credit for the photos after she sold them to the Web site.

Fawley also claimed Crabill harassed him by posting negative comments about him and "destroying" his work on his Web site.

In another online entry, Crabill is the subject of a two-page rambling diatribe posted by Fawley. Fawley claimed in the journal entry that Crabill had modeled for him and that their relationship soured.

She "was just playing with me personally and with my photography. She thought it was all just a joke," he wrote. He also claimed she hurt herself to garner attention.

In a news conference Thursday, Richmond Police Chief Rodney Monroe acknowledged that it would "not be incorrect" to say that Fawley was a suspect in Behl's death.

He also said an ex-girlfriend of the suspect led investigators to the property where Behl's body was found. He did not give the identity of the ex-girlfriend. She identified the area after seeing photos that had been posted on Fawley's Web site.

Monroe also said Fawley's ex-girlfriend is someone investigators had been talking to for weeks.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Photographer Tells Police Story About Taylor Behl's Death
Hundreds Attend Funeral For Taylor Behl

POSTED: 3:34 pm EDT October 14, 2005
UPDATED: 12:22 am EDT October 15, 2005

VIENNA, Va. -- On the day of Taylor Behl's funeral, sources tell News4 that Richmond amateur photographer Ben Fawley has talked to police.

Sources said Fawley has told investigators a story about how Behl died. Fawley has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in the disappearance and death of the 17-year-old from Vienna.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch, citing unidentified sources close to the investigation, reported in Saturday editions that Fawley told police that Behl died accidentally when he restricted her breathing during an intimate encounter in her car in Mathews County.

Investigators aren't commenting on the specifics of the conversation but are said to be checking out Fawley's version of the story.

/quote

Whether this story is true or not remains to be seen. Certainly the forensic evidence in Taylor's car has been comprimised by untold numbers
of people. We are likely too to hear from Frawley that this was somehow all Taylor's fault. These morons are predictable!

With hopes something will be gleaned from the evidence gathered at the Autopsy. And with any luck this evidence will be suffice to send Frawley to jail for the rest of his sorry life, with no access to a computer or photoequipment/video. Reduced to one hour of sunlight a day.

On a personal note, I'd wish on him the gaelic curse, "May his back never see the light of day again".

Taylor's body has been laid to rest. Taylor's death is
one of utter tragedy, of meeting the wrong kind of person in the wrong kind of place, at the wrong time. The whole involvement of Frawley being intertangled in the child pornography world, and that he himself preyed on young girls, such as Taylor, need not happen to anyone else if law enforcement and the powers that be upped the anti as to punishments and fines for such offenses, perhaps people like Frawley wouldn't have been in operation.

The offer of a modeling job, movie, photo ops, money, career in art, is inticing to many women, and young girls, especially beautiful women, an opportunity to make money to learn new skills, meet new people. Young and naive women are easy prey to a man like Frawley. Somehow Taylor got suckered by a con artist and when she saw this, Frawley wasn't about to let her get away. Like so many thousands of other women and children a year who either die or are sexually assaulted and battered by cons like Frawley.

What more can we do to teach our youth, that men like Frawley are "wolves in sheeps' clothing", and that knowing such people will only lead to no good. We teach our children this but they think they are invincible, but perhaps by example of what happened to Taylor, and other young women, this will bring the message/reality home to the youth, not to go there. Stay away! This is of course not the legacy that Taylor would have chose for herself had she known her fate, but had she known that possibly this might be her fate, this would have changed her life!

Undoubtedly will claim that she talked him into strangling her against his better judgement.

Just as all along, his story is what actually happened but turned around where he is the victim. Best case, he thinks he can lie convincingly to get away with this murder, worst case is that he thinks he'll be found a certifiable nut case to get out of it.

Instead, he's certifiably evil.

Nancy Grace has pictures of a pond tonight that the police are asking if anyone can identify. Seems to me that they were pictures he had and the police are thinking he may have dumped evidence in it.

There was a police tip line given to call, I didn't catch it, but of course without the pictures not much need for it. Anyway, one would think it would be in that eastern Virginia area and hopefully enough people will get a look at the picture from fliers the police may distribute or something like that for a local to recognize it.

We are in the sorry situation of needing to create technologies to search ponds and lakes and yes even San Francisco Bay just to catch all the men making women who have become inconvenient disappear.

Fawley Charged With Taylor Behl's Murder


Benjamin Fawley, a 38-year-old amateur photographer who has been held in jail since September 2005 on 16 counts of child pornography charges, has been indicted for first-degree murder in the death of Virginia Commonwealth student Taylor Behl.

No arraignment date has been scheduled for Fawley, who was indicted by a Mathews County Circuit Court.

Behl was last seen Sept. 5 when she left her dorm room to give her roommate time alone with her boyfriend. Her body was found Oct. 5, 2005 in a ravine about 75 miles from Richmond.

Authorities have not released the cause of her death. A gag order was issued in the case in October after reports that Behl died during a sexual encounter were reported.

Suspicious Items Found

Looking for items belonging to Behl, detectives searched Fawley's apartment in September. Police found at least 30 videos on Fawley's computers showing children as young as 1 year old engaging in sexual acts and charged him with possession of child pornography.

They also found a box of bones, a piece of a box spring bearing a reddish-brown stain, a machete, sex toys, a .32-caliber cartridge and a pair of white women's underwear.

Police found at least 30 videos on Fawley's computers showing children as young as 1 year old engaging in sexual acts and charged him with possession of child pornography.

Children as young as one year old do not 'engage' in sexual acts with others. They are having stuff done to them - they are not engaged - on the contrary, they are likely mentally and emotionally disengaging (dissociating) from the event.

Jane: This is probably one of the most horrible things I have read-- what Ben F. had in his collection. I will repeat what you wrote:

[rd]

When you consider that these images were made by yet other men, distributed through illegal members only pedophilia clubs, and this guy is just one of the sick members of that society, it's disgusting to think of how many victims there has to be to catch these monsters and put them away.

[peripeteia]

When the police have finished inditing Frawley perhaps they best start on ALL the others involved in this pornography ring, as these tapes were sold to others.

I think that possession of such pornographic materials should have tougher sentences, and perhaps this will deter those involved in such activities. The confiscation of peoples personal property involved in such crimes would go a long way to deter such practices. Also what of the parents allowing their children to be apart of such activities, they are not innocent. Children should be removed from such homes, fines and prison sentences should be very severe. Those children's psychic are damaged forever, they are likely never to be fully functioning adults. The sentences at present and fines are a joke. Also, many spouses of pedophiles are complicit in these crimes of child pornography, are they not guilty by their silence?

The public must petition government to change the laws, and the penalties and fines associated with child pornograph. Those in possession of such material are guilty as well? What are we doing as individuals to protect out children, are we complicit as well? Are we doing are share to lobby government and law enforcement to change the way that they do business, are children are not safe, women are not safe, young men are not safe, are streets are not safe and for many young people their very homes are not safe. The evil is not down the road, oftentimes, it is our neighbours are coworkers, are friends are relatives.
