One Murdered, One Missing in Virginia

Alexis Murphy went missing on August 3, 2013 from Lovingston, Virginia. The Nelson County Commonwealth’s Attorney, Anthony Martin, decided to move forward with the prosecution of a no-body murder case in the disappearance of Alexis. He succeeded and Randy Allen Taylor was convicted of Alexis’ murder in 2014. Since 2010, Randy Taylor has been considered a suspect in the sudden disappearance of another young woman, 19-year-old Samantha Clarke, from Orange, Virginia. Her case is now being investigated as an abduction and homicide.
