Just called a friend and asked if this dude could have had a web site in 1980 and my friend stated maybe 1990, and more likely 1992-1993.
What a load of bull.

Ironically enough, was searching through the list of photographs by Skulz and noticed the pictures of buildings burning, and afterword this kept nagging why, and I did another search on line and found this!!

Skulz - What A Coincidence
h/t to Kathy and Steve on this one - a big one.

Imagine this - a guy in Richmond makes entries on a web log which appear to give the indication he has an unusal interest in fire, perhaps.

In March 2004 the area where he lives experienced its most significant fire in its history resulting in approximately $20 Million in damage and the loss of one life.

Nine days ago a wind-fed fireball swept across Broad Street just west of downtown, a noontime conflagration this paper called "the most devastating fire in decades" in Richmond.

There was even talk of it being the worst fire in the city since the Civil War. The fire was a monster, fueled by five stories of kiln-dried lumber - the skeleton of a student apartment building under construction.

Were it not for the heroic efforts of more than 100 firefighters - and even some residents - much more property, and probably some lives, would've been lost.

Damage from the three-alarm blaze is estimated at about $20 million. The fire was marked under control at 6 p.m., about 5½ hours after the blaze began.

Two firefighters and one VCU security guard suffered minor injuries. A woman died after the power to her nearby home was shut off; the battery to her backup oxygen supply was not charged.

"This incident posed one of the greatest challenges this department has ever faced in terms of potential loss of life and property," Richmond Fire Chief Larry Tunstall said. RAMZ had planned to lease the apartments to VCU for the housing of 172 students. VCU and the developer said they hope to rebuild.


Cigarette butts swept into trash bags with combustible construction debris are the possible cause of the fire two weeks ago at an under-construction apartment building on West Broad Street.

Construction workers had dumped bags of flammable material and cigarette butts into "an already jammed trash chute," Richmond fire investigators announced yesterday. The fire began just after noon March 26 in a trash chute "in the vicinity of the second floor" of the five-story apartment building at 933 W. Broad St., which was to have housed Virginia Commonwealth University students this fall.

The individual in question, Skulz, railed against the police and fire company and even blamed the woman's death on them in his journal entries - some of which now appear to be deleted.

But the most confounding coincidence of all is that this indivudal seems to have both before and after pictures of the fire from precisely the same location - as well as pictures of the fire in progress. All apparently taken within the same general time frame. It's almost as if he knew that fire was going to take place. Boy, life sure is full of coincidences, isn't it?

Guess this fire was caused by a welders torch spark, weird none the less

Taylor Behl Suspect Warrant Issued For Suspicion Of Child Pornography
Channel WDBJ7 is reporting that the warrant used to search the premises of Ben Fawley aka Skulz was issued on suspicion of possession of child pornography. It's unclear what may have led to the warrant being issued as such, though as pointed out in previous articles, Fawley did have several images of under aged girls on his website which felt short of being pornographic.

According to a search warrant obtained by News 7, police seized seven computers, along with several boxes of CD's and some hard drives from Fawley's home. The warrant was filed on a suspicion that Frawley (sic) possessed child pornography.

note the 666

This is from live journal, it seems Skulz was posting on this site to a punch
of teenie boppers, he answered a posting by Taylor. Taylor's name is
jailbait spelled backwards. In case his picture of his logo does not come out here is his signature which is what I was trying to post above

This entry by Taylor is for August 6th 2004, I'm not sure when sleeze ball answered this post

What in the heck is a 37 year old posting on a Teen site, guess trying to
pick up porno models......!!!! His relative says he is 40!

Here is a real piece of Work, seems Erin was one of his teen girlfriends and right now there is some legal proceeding coming from her which he makes mention on Deviant Art. On live journal, it seems that one of Skulz relative made not so endearing comments about him.

"I hope this note gets to you...Even IF you are not guilty of some things..you are guilty of NOT being the adult that you should and not preying on little girls..you're a 40 yr old man..but I guess you are in denial over that...Sincereley,A relative

My guess this site is where Taylor met this scuzz ball. Seems Taylor was living in Vienna, Austria until somewhat recently, as she posted about moving to Russia and saying that it was a distance from Vienna.

Skipper above is absolute proof of adults preying on teenagers, follow the links and read the comments......!!!!!!!

It is most likely that Skulz became aquainted with Taylor on line.

Just checked this guy has over a 1000 entries on this site, he appears to have joined Jan. 1st. I can't figure out how to read his posts, anyone know how to access back posts. Can't figure it for trying! It seems like he was dating a number of women,
Amanda, Rachel, Erin, Taylor, Alice those are the only names I could find out that he mentioned.

Allegedly he had 10 computers, the police have seized 7, what became of the other 3!!!!

He mentioned taking Alice to Belle's Island.

K- from your first post on this page, and thanks for answering on the girl on the first picture I asked about. I thought that is what I saw, the breast type shot. I'm trying to read all of this. Please have patience with me, I know you do.

Ok the first post.

I did wonder when I saw his photos- "WHY the fire pictures?" yet I didn't pose the question...I thought, "this is really strange!" I couldn't see the connection or the fascination or the why someone would indulge in these type of pictures. I was thinking about it and let it go as there was much else to think about. Thanks for finding that. I have to read this link now. This is turning out to be ....I don't know. First, I thought maybe, Twin Towers or fires in the area, artistic but I knew the guy was weird so I knew it wasn't that. It was just so many peices at once.

[peripeteia]

Goz on the online journal site, there are over a 1000 postings by this sleeze ball, can't figure how to read them, clicked on Skulz67 and got the data page, and then it says calendar over in the left hand corner but can't figure how to get in once I opened the calendar.

rd. can you help. Likely rd you can figure this, my guess is that this information will be removed from the online journal site as it is exculpatory evidence (is that the word), I'm surprize the police/FBI have not yet seized this evidence, then again, guess they have not had the computers very long. It this dude had 10 computers, heaven only knowns how far the s+++ goes, likely I'd say he is in way over his HEAD.

There are a few horrible comments on the livejournal site about Taylor, man's inhumanity to man!! Shocking and distrubing, especially coming from Teens as they are our tomorrow...


Mother of God, Blessed Mary, save us from this evil, spare our children!

Don't feel bad Goz I can't figure this as well, is it anyone this guy is a real box of Chinese umbrellas, no two the same!! Perhaps better said a Pandora's Box

K- in regard to what you said earlier too on the episode of Law and Order- I do have it on tape, didn't watch it yet but look forward to it.

You may be correct. I remember years ago my brother had a job driving people in the community to their jobs. The company proceeded to leave out the information that they were criminals reentering the community.

What he later found out was that a couple of them were released Pedophiles, one was a woman too. He was outraged and went to the office that hired him. He had to give up the job as they felt he had the responsibility to drive these people around. He told me what the women did, it was just too awful to repeat.

The point is you may be correct--S.O. may not be able to drive or own vehicles as part of the conditions when released so he may be a SO under one of his names. Maybe each state has different laws. I called someone to ask too, they did not know but did remember the incident.

I don't understand what fell short of being porno but I'm sure he has his stuff hidden on the other computer K and they will run it down in time. He does not appear savvy, he didn't seem to hide all his stuff. By the looks of his personality, he is an open book of pure insanity, at least to me. I mean, names are mentioned all over the Journals. I can't make a lot of sense of who is who, or what is taking place. The exact ages are hard to figure out, but it is obvious the gals are not of AGE!!! His writings seem teen like too. He may not be smart enough to know his hard drive cannot be erased either, it has to be destroyed.

I think they will find enough on this guy to make many charges stick. As I try to pull up stuff you posted, it gets blocked then unblocked but I'm trying to trace too. I know a couple hackers, and ways to find information but I won't do that. This man is too freaking nuts.

Thanks K for all your work.
I'm glad at least Skipper has been made aware that this place is not safe in any way. Hoping they can choke the hell out of this man and find out about Taylor.

Peri,

The horse is out of the gate on my granddaughter(s) posting on the Deviant art board. Both have been posting for years - 3 at least.

I was kinda taken aback when I first "toured" the site but it came at a time when both girls needed support- both my kids divorced, and all the subsequent emotional turmoil for the kids....

I didn't see the harm. Couldn't change it if I tried anyway. It's a release for them. A social thing and a place to be honored (for art work).

Yes I'm concerned. I was before and I'm having palpations now.

Skulz is not the only pervert reading that board I'm sure.

Both girls excell in art. That is (I fear) going to make them targets.

Thankfully the girls are too modest (so far) to get involved with modeling or go for that line of BS. They are 15 and 16.

My daughter modeled and did the pageant circuit. She was pulled (roped) in by a neighbor who had an empty nest and had daughters who were involved in all the above. I let my daughter go to the pageants- she won mostly and then started with the modeling. All was well for a while until one evening I got a call.

The event was modeling furs at a well known hotel for the country club set. The hosting agency was/is respected in my area but the owner turned out to be quite a perv. My daughter called me and my dad (got the call 1st) jumped into his van to get her out of there. The "respected" agency owner (about 50 at the time) came on to my daughter (about 17 at the time) in one of the private rooms used for the models to change.

Well that was it for the modeling. Career change. Family decision.

It's a great "hook" for some of these warped old creeps. Promise fame and fortune....

The internet, sadly, is an even better source for these creeps.

BTW, Peri, if you have time- tell me what happened at the end of the show? I fell asleep just after Elliot went to his first "perv" meeting and was getting chewed out by his boss.

Thanks in advance..

I fixed several links that I don't want linked from this site so as to not be linkable. The information is there if anyone wants to type it into a URL window, but search engines and people won't be able to click through on them now.

I only left the links to Fawley's pages linkable for people to be able to glean some sense of the individual. A models site now indicates the id, presumably of Fawley because it was posted, is no longer valid, meaning they apparently deleted his presence.

Taylor and Fawley did not meet online. The photographer was (is?) a roommate of a friend of Taylor's whom her father brought to stay with to visit campus back in February. The boy and his girlfriend were friends of Taylor's.

The father met the photographer but thought he was only in his 20's and was not involved in Taylor's visit. The photographer is 38 or even 40 as I see one post here quotes a relative.

Given the damage that can be done by linking to any garbage anyone on the internet is shameless enough to put up, it is not good enough to post links for everyone to take a look and decide if that is something that Taylor posted, for example.

Some due diligence has to be done to show that user x who posted something was Taylor. That due diligence has to be noted along with the link to explain why it is thought user x is Taylor or whatever the case may be. I saw a lot of nasty stuff I don't want exposed to people unless there's a damn good reason preceding the link.

If we think something is from somebody and we show the basis and explain, the resulting enlightenment will be much appreciated by all I'm sure. Thanks.

The photographer gives 1980 as the starting date of his infopak, whatever that is, and his production company. The founding date of a company being listed on a web page doesn't mean the web page has been there that long, in this case from 1980.

A copyright statement with the same dates (1980-2005) would indicate it was created in 1980, but the dates referred to the company, not the page.

The browser was invented in a lab in 1991, it would be very rare to see a web page created before 1995.

2nd car impounded in Behl case

Police find car of missing VCU student in Fan

RELATED: Police Beat

Richmond Police today said they have impounded another car in connection with their investigation into the disappearance of Virginia Commonwealth University freshman Taylor Marie Behl.

The car, a tan Nissan Altima, was recovered by police approximately two days ago. It is being examined by forensic teams for any trace of the 17-year-old Vienna resident who disappeared on Sept. 5 after leaving her VCU dorm room.

Police spokeswoman Kirsten Nelson said investigators are interested in the car because Behl is believed to have been in it sometime prior to her disappearance. She did not disclose where the car was recovered or to whom it is registered.

"Right now, it's a very small piece of a very big puzzle," said Nelson.

George Peterson, an attorney for Behl's mother, Janet Pelasara, said he believes police were alerted to look for the vehicle as a result of interviews and evidence gathered from a search of Behl's own car, a white Ford Escort.

That car, bearing stolen Ohio license plates, was discovered Saturday parked about 1.5 miles from Gladding Residence Center, Behl's dorm.

For more information on this and other developments, see tomorrow's Times-Dispatch.

Comments: I hope they release what they refer to as- "evidence gathered from a search of Behl's own car."

2nd family affected by Behl case

MARK HOLMBERG
POINT OF VIEW Sep 21, 2005



If there's any doubt about the intensity of the hurricanelike search for missing VCU student Taylor Behl, just take a quick look at one of the homes -- and families -- swept into the epicenter.

It began late Saturday, when Chess, a flop-eared bloodhound from Louisa County, woofed at a home on North Sheppard Street in the Museum District.

Chess was trying to follow a scent from Behl's Ford Escort, which had recently been found three blocks east, on Mulberry Street in the Fan District. It was the first tangible break in the nationally watched case since the 17-year-old freshman disappeared two weeks ago.

The couple living at the Sheppard Street address didn't come home for a couple of hours about 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

They said they were greeted by a score of plainclothes police officers.

"They were apologizing for coming so late," said the husband. (The family members asked not to be identified by name.) "I said, 'No need for apologizing. We're on your side.'"

His wife recalled telling the officers: "'You're welcome to go all through the house.' . . . I opened up everything."

The couple had heard about the missing student. They wanted to help, even though they wondered whether Chess might have been attracted by the scent of their dogs.

The husband and wife were "very cooperative," said Lt. John Venuti, head of the Richmond police detective division.

Investigators asked them if anyone else had been to their home recently.

"The only other person who visited in the past 24 hours was our nephew," the wife remembered saying.

The nephew, who lives several blocks from where the car was found, had left one of his restaurant work shirts at the house.

Investigators wanted to take the shirt. The couple agreed.

The Richmond officers went right down the street to the nephew's apartment, but he was at a party and didn't come home until later.

His aunt told him what was going on later that morning, and the nephew called one of the detectives about 9 a.m.

The nephew said Detective Mark Williams asked to meet him at the corner of Kensington Avenue and the Boulevard. "I need you to come with me," the nephew recalled being told once he met Williams.

He was questioned about the case for several hours -- he said he knew nothing of Behl or her car -- and was dropped off back at the corner.

Meanwhile, other Richmond officers were arresting one of the nephew's former roommates on an unrelated, out-of-state warrant, based on a tip.

Later Sunday, in the evening, the nephew was picked up again for questioning while officers searched his apartment.

Dozens of items were taken, according to the search-warrant affidavit, including videotapes, sheets, beer bottles, cigarette butts, gloves, film and a shaving kit.

"They cleaned my room," the nephew said sardonically.

Meanwhile, he voluntarily took a polygraph test.

"I haven't done anything," he explained when asked why he agreed to take the test. "I'll do anything they want me to do."

Afterward, "they told me I failed two questions on the polygraph -- did I know the girl, had I been in the car."

The nephew said he knew then they were sweating him. He was thinking, "I don't know the girl . . . [and] they hadn't asked for an alibi."

"They were telling me they knew I did it," he recalled.

That irked him. He remembers saying, "You all are just [messing] with me right now because you don't have anything else."

He wasn't dropped off until well after midnight. He went to his mom's apartment in the Fan.




The police came back Monday evening, this time arresting the nephew and charging him with possession of cocaine. Investigators searching the apartment he shares with other young people allegedly had found a razor blade with cocaine residue on it.

About that same time, the Sheppard Street couple came home from work to find that someone had kicked in their basement door and had apparently rummaged through some of their belongings, opening and partly emptying a steamer trunk.

They told me they believe the police did it while fishing for evidence in a high-profile, high-pressure case.

They asked me to meet them at their home late Monday night after the nephew was released on a $3,000 bond -- to discuss their discomfort about the way police were proceeding.

"I don't see any difference between this and Stalinist Russia," the husband said.

"I truly understand why police have a hard time getting people to talk to them," the wife said.

Her sister, the nephew's mom, said she understands a break is desperately needed in the case.

"I'm so sorry for the young lady and her family," the mom said. "But [her son] doesn't need to be persecuted because he doesn't have the answers they want."

She left after making that comment. When she got to her apartment about 11:30 p.m., she found someone had broken in and gone through her belongings.

The family was sure the police had struck again.

All this in the 48 hours since Chess came sniffing.

It was just too much. The family felt like howling.

Roughly two hours later, about 2 a.m. yesterday, Venuti and another officer went to the Sheppard Street home to address the family's concerns.

"The reason I went over there was to explain to them we had nothing to do with [the break-in]," Venuti said yesterday afternoon.

Not only would they not do something like that -- it wouldn't make any sense, because any evidence gathered in such a way wouldn't be admissible in court.

The Sheppard Street break-in is being investigated as a burglary, Venuti said. The nephew's mom filed a police report last night.

Venuti didn't comment about the timing of apparent break-ins involving people on the periphery of an intense police investigation.

The wife said police told them there's a chance a private detective might be doing some kind of free-lance investigation.

Venuti said Richmond police are in firm control of what he described as an "intense, focused investigation." No corners are being cut, he said. "That comes before everything else.

"We are going to be as aggressive as we possibly can with the case," he added. "When you're aggressive, things happen."

Police report filed after Behl missing
Photographer who knew Behl claims attack hours after she was last seen

BY JIM NOLAN
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER Sep 22, 2005


Person of interest filed report with police



A 38-year-old amateur photographer -- one of the last people to see missing Virginia Commonwealth University student Taylor Behl -- filed a report with police claiming he had been abducted and robbed just hours after Behl was last seen on the night of Sept. 5.

The photographer told Richmond police that he was walking in an alley near Franklin Street and Monument Avenue at 5 a.m. Sept. 6 when he was "robbed by an unknown number of people," according to a Richmond Police Department incident report obtained last night by The Times-Dispatch.

The photographer told police that he was hit in the stomach by "an unknown object" before being pushed down and having a bag placed over his head. "He was then put into a vehicle and driven to an unknown location and pushed out of the vehicle onto a dirt road," according to the report.

The photographer was "unable to provide any details as to the location where he was pushed out of the vehicle," according to the report, which goes on to state that the photographer needed medication for a bipolar disorder and had been drinking before the alleged attack.

Last night, the photographer's attorney, Chris Collins, said the attack has "nothing to do with the other matter" involving Behl's disappearance. Collins had earlier confirmed that the photographer is bipolar and had a relationship with Behl. The Times-Dispatch has not published the photographer's name because he has not been charged with a crime.

He said his client does not know who is involved in the attack. "But he [the photographer] suspects that it involved an acquaintance with whom he was in an argument with over the rights" to some photographs.

According to the police report, the photographer told police he had been involved in a similar incident last year in which he was attacked outside his home and that he believed the two events were related. He told police that a camera and tripod valued at $375 was stolen, as well as $20.

The photographer told police that after he was attacked, he was rescued at 6 a.m. by an unknown man who gave him a ride back to his home off Broad Street near the VCU campus.

He filed the police report at 4:42 p.m., nearly 11 hours after the attack.

Behl was last seen in her dormitory by her roommate at 10:20 p.m. Sept. 5. According to police, the roommate said Behl had told her she was going to go skateboarding with a few friends and left with her car keys, student identification, cell phone and a small amount of cash.

Collins, the photographer's lawyer, said his client told police that he had last seen Behl at 9:30 p.m. that night. Collins said the issue of the attack came up when police questioned his client but was "quickly brushed aside."

In the last 10 days, Richmond police have executed numerous search warrants at the homes of Behl's friends and acquaintances who may have seen her within a day or two of her disappearance.

A warrant filed in court on Tuesday to search the photographer's home stated that police were seeking "all computer media" in relation to the possible offense of possession of child pornography.

Court documents also revealed the Monday arrest of a Richmond man on drug-possession charges. Police believe that man's scent was detected by a bloodhound brought in to sniff Behl's Ford Escort, according to sources close to the investigation.

The 1997 Escort was discovered Saturday on North Mulberry Street in the Fan, several blocks from the Sheppard Street apartment of the arrested man. The man, who was interviewed by police, told Times-Dispatch columnist Mark Holmberg that he told police he did not know Behl and had not been in her car.


Investigative sources said the Sheppard Street man is a skateboarding friend of another acquaintance of Behl's. The acquaintance's Nissan Altima was impounded by police for investigation this week. Police also interviewed him.

Police spokeswoman Kirsten Nelson said investigators are interested in the Nissan because Behl is believed to have been in it before her disappearance.

"Right now, it's a very small piece of a very big puzzle," Nelson said.

Yesterday, Behl's possessions in her dormitory room at Virginia Commonwealth University were packed into black trash bags and boxes and carted away.

Books, clothes, computer equipment, music, posters and a plain brown teddy bear -- the inventory of a college student's life -- fit easily in the back of the sport utility vehicle that Behl's family lawyer and her uncle parked on Main Street outside VCU's Gladding Residence Center yesterday afternoon.

"This would have been too hard for [Taylor's mother]," said the lawyer, George O. Peterson, as he deposited another box into the back of the car.

"When Taylor comes home, she's not coming back to VCU," said Peterson, who yesterday announced the family had posted an $11,000 reward for the tip that finds the missing freshman.

The lawyer said Behl's mother, Janet Pelasara, was disappointed with how university police handled the case of the missing 17-year-old from Vienna who arrived on campus Aug. 19.

The attorney said the family felt the university had held onto the leadership role in the case "when it was beyond its capabilities." The Richmond Police Department took over as the lead agency in the case on Sept. 12.

Dr. Reuban Rodriguez, VCU dean of student affairs, said University Police "used all of their full resources available" from the day Behl was reported missing and also involved the same federal, state and local police agencies in the search that are now part of the Richmond police-led task force running the criminal investigation of her disappearance.

"We did everything that was available to us," Rodriguez said.

Comment:
It appears by this article there has been some evidence taken from the first car that lead to man mentioned in the prior article who was detained by police and arrested for drugs. (if I'm reading reading correctly). (not Ben) Yet, I find it odd that Ben was robbed, beaten the night that Taylor disappeared.

[rd]

Really interesting info, goz. And really unbelievable gall for an alibi. You'd think this guy took lessons from Condit, but then again, maybe he did.

Here's what we know happened. Taylor was brought back to Richmond from home by her dad earlier in the day, I believe early afternoon is what he said.

Taylor was in the Village Cafe with at least one friend she had met in the two weeks she had moved to campus. Greta showed the table they sat at and referred to friends being there as well. It was just typical college hanging out stuff.

All of her time isn't accounted for with that, but she returned to her dorm room at about 9:30. She talked to her roomate who had her boyfriend there visiting, and Taylor said she would be back in a couple of hours. She made a call on her cell phone at 9:44 to a male friend, I believe to be the photographer, but that has only been implied so far.

She would have had a ten block walk to her car if she went to her car, and the apartment where the photographer and her other friend live is just around the corner from there.

Now contrast that with what the photographer told the police. He said he was with Taylor for a couple of hours earlier in the day, then saw her again in the evening when she came over to borrow a skateboard. He says he walked her home about 9:30 and never heard from her again.

He then called police the next day and says he was attacked and robbed at 5 in the morning in an alley and driven somewhere to a dirt road and let out. He says he got a ride home sometime later that morning, waiting till early evening to call police and report the attack.

In addition, he says he had a romantic relationship with Taylor and saw her three times, in February when she came to visit campus, in the summer when came to orientation, and the day she disappeared two weeks after she moved to campus.

He took some pictures of her outdoors when she visited campus in February, and I saw one picture of her lying down inside. I see nothing that suggests more than he was a photographer saying he was building a portfolio and asked to take some snapshots of her as she visited. Very few people would not pose for a snapshot in such a situation, especially a beautiful young woman. It is all very typical.

The picture of her lying down appears to me to be not especially posed. I suspect he took a lot of pictures of her as she sat, walked, and laid down in the apartment over a couple of days, and again I see nothing more than snapshots of a person you have access to being in the same apartment over a couple of days.

Nothing of his alibi has been corroborated, nor do I expect any of it to be. What it appears to me that he did is claim to be sexually involved with Taylor and with her before she disappeared, but not to have seen her after she disappeared. In fact, I believe the opposite to be true.

In addition, I wrote early in the case that the photographer took Taylor dead or unwilling in her car to a field off backroads to hide her body and then drove her car back and parked it near her friend she had dinner with, not where it had been parked around the corner from his apartment.

His report to police has confirmed my suspicions. What he has done is attempt to alibi himself for anything CSI types can throw at him. If they find her body and his DNA, he says he was with her earlier that day. It's uncorroborated and a blatant lie, for which he will not take a lie detector test, but it alibis him from any DNA evidence.

He then aliibied himself from being out there by saying he was kidnapped and taken there, when in fact he was the kidnapper. Again, the person who he says drove him back to Richmond will never be found. The photographer drove her car back to Richmond, returning from a dirt road where Taylor Behl may be found someday, and maybe not.

No body, no crime. What a racket.

The story about being beaten, hit over the head and taken to a dirt road somewhere with a bag over his head- could that be what happened to Taylor? Is is a confession somehow?

We don't know what goes on in the minds of those with problems such as bipolar disorders.
