The family of VCU freshman Taylor Behl has scheduled her funeral, now that her remains have been released from the medical examiner.
Viewing will be Thursday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. at Money and King Vienna Funeral Home in Vienna. Services will be Friday at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of the Holy Comforter in Vienna.
The 17-year-old's remains were discovered in a shallow gave in rural Mathews County last Wednesday. Police say they were led to the location after examining a photograph found on Ben Fawley's Web site.
Fawley, 38, of Richmond, was charged Monday with possession of a firearm while a convicted felon. Police said the charge stems from the department's continued focused and aggressive investigation into Behl's murder.
Fawley's attorney has said his client and Behl had a sexual relationship and that Fawley saw her about an hour before she disappeared from her campus dorm on September 5.
Not long after Behl's disappearance, police searched his apartment and seized computers, discs and cameras.
WRIC-TV in Richmond is reporting that sources tell them Fawley's credit card was used to buy gas in New Kent County around the time Behl disappeared. New Kent County lies between Richmond and Mathews County, where Behl's remains were found.
Bump
Oh, but it fits his alibi. he claims he was mugged and kidnapped on the day in question.
Did he also buy gas for the aliens? LOL
Did they ever determine the cause of death?
Not yet.
Or did the aliens just happen to head in the direction that Taylor was found and use his card in New Kent County?
Viewing?
His "alibi" stinks..
I can't imagine a viewing. Nothing much was left, I thought. So very sad. I believe she would have turned 18 on Thursday.
That's what I thought. Maybe they just didn't have a better term.
Visitation is the correct term, I would say..People come and pay their repects..Of course it will be a closed casket.
I hadn't heard that before. Yes, I think they are going to get him. His mental illness defense is failing too, I would think. He seems entirely in control of all of his actions. One of the doctor's on FNC, Dr. Baden maybe, says he thinks that this may not be the first murder he's committed. It was too planned... Quite frightening.

They should have said visitation with the family etc...
If the cops choose to believe, it's great for him. If the cops call him on it, it's so patently ridiculous that he can plead insanity.
Works both ways.
Thanks. They are difficult to read. I just found out last night that Fawley is from a town near where I now live. And he was arrested three years ago near where I work while staying with a friend who lived on a road where a friend of mine used to live. Just goes to show that you never know who's around and when you could be in danger.
I've already had a chat with our daughter who will be going off to college next year. She knows what happened to Taylor, and it's an object lesson for her.
40-50 years ago, it would have been virtually impossible for a 17 year old college freshman to be conducting any kind of "relationship" with a 38 year old male felon, while away at college. Parents who aren't sure their teenager is ready for the absolute freedom now guaranteed by all colleges, have no choices other than to either send the kid off and hope for the best, or keep the kid living at home and attending college classes locally, thus losing the benefit of a protected transitional stage on the road to adult independence.
How did this happen? How did tax- and tuition-paying parents let it happen?
It seem to me that it shows he's completely in control and has been. And I think Virginia has less tolerance for this type of crime than some states. If he were insane, could he have planned this so well and remained so closed about it after the fact?
