Claim: Police were at the wrong apartment
Various Facebook and Twitter posts have claimed that Louisville police went to the wrong apartment the night of Taylor’s death when they served the no-knock warrant.
Ben Crump, a Florida-based attorney involved with the Taylor case, wrote on Twitter on May 11 that police “had the wrong address AND their real suspect was already in custody.”
Our rating: False
The search warrant for Taylor and her home explicitly identified her and her address. The Louisville police were not there by mistake. They believed that Taylor had ties to Glover, one of the main suspects in the investigation.
It’s a confusing story at times, especially when the lawyers start spinning it! Another thing that Crump got wrong is that they were not looking for Taylor’s former boyfriend. They were actually seeking evidence against him, specifically a large sum of cash that they believe Taylor was holding for him.
