More evidence revealed...along with an unbelievable story by the suspect
Hallahan (Taylor's court appointed attorney) alleged that Taylor ran into the 17-year-old at a gas station Aug. 3, the day she disappeared, CBS affiliate WTVR reports, and that Taylor asked the teen if she could find him a drug dealer. It wasn't the first encounter between the two, the lawyer alleged - nearly a month before, while Taylor was working at a local carwash, he says Murphy started talking to Taylor after she noticed he was smoking marijuana.
The night Murphy vanished, Hallahan said the 17-year-old was at Taylor's camper with another man. The lawyer said Taylor bought marijuana from the man and smoked it with him, and that the two left in separate cars.
Hallahan said Taylor didn't know the man, but he was described as a black male in his early 20s, wearing cornrows and driving a 1990s sedan with 22-inch rims.
After finding a strand of Murphy's hair in Taylor's camper eight days after she was last seen, authorities arrested him on an abduction charge, Hallahan said.
----------------------------------------------------------
Murphy's hair found in Taylor's trailer is a major smoking gun.
How to explain it? Classic SODDI defense. Some Other Dude Did It - the other dude was the last to see Alexis; the other dude was at Taylor's house with Alexis though Taylor knew neither of them; some unknown black dude with cornrows is the real suspect.
Bullshit, imo.
