Bond denied for man who knows Behl

The search for Taylor Marie Behl enters its fourth week today with a "person of interest" in the investigation into her disappearance in jail on unrelated charges and teams of police and family members growing increasingly concerned for her safety.

"Whoever has her, let her walk away," Behl's mother, Janet Pelasara, pleaded yesterday during an interview with reporters.

"Let her come home. I need my baby, and I want her back."

Pelasara's plea for her daughter followed a court hearing yesterday morning for an unemployed photographer who was one of the last people to see the missing Virginia Commonwealth University student before she disappeared on Sept. 5.

Benjamin "Skulz" Fawley, 38 -- a "person of interest" in the Richmond Police Department's criminal investigation into Behl's disappearance -- was denied bond after appearing in Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court on 16 counts of possession of child pornography.

I fear the worst in this case.

The photographer guy seems like a good suspect - but the second guy does too. Why would that second guy deny that he knew Taylor of was ever in her car. I wonder if the first guy passed a poly?

Fawley, the first guy, agreed to take a poly but, when he got a lawyer, the lawyer advised him against it. So no he didn't take one.

I think the second guy is a student and perhaps lied because he is young and stupid, they got him on drug possession charges. The photographer on the other hand is a career criminal.

I think it took the campus police way too long to turn this over to Richmond PD. That seems to be the case in campuses all over the country - they are afraid of the bad PR.

Is it possible Taylor discovered some of this material and has now paid the ultimate price?

Yes, very possible. I heard Taylor's friend on Greta's show (not a fan of hers, but was flipping around) and she claims she knew about Taylor having an affair with Fawley but that Taylor had lost her interest in him.
