2 Spring Breakers Accused of Drugging and Sexually Assaulting Woman Later Found Dead in Miami Hotel
This is the 24-year-old spring breaker from Philadelphia who was drugged, raped and found dead in a Miami Beach hotel room.
Photos posted on her Facebook page show Christine
Englehardt, a pizza shop manager, smiling as she stands across the street from
the beach last year, and smiling at the camera in another snap.
Another photo shows Englehardt kissing a dog, with the
caption reading, “My baby boy forever.”
Last week, police said the bubbly restaurant worker was
found dead and semi-nude at the Albion Hotel on South Beach — where she had
been drugged and raped while on spring break.
Two North Carolina men — Evoire Collier, 21, and Dorian
Taylor, 24 — were arrested in the case Monday for allegedly drugging Englehardt
with a “green pill,” raping her, and stealing her credit cards, according to
police and reports.
Police said Collier and Taylor were identified by
surveillance footage at the hotel, which allegedly caught them arriving with
the victim around 1 a.m. Thursday.
Englehardt was identified as the victim by police, WBT-News
reported.
Miami Beach Detective Luis Alsina said during a court
hearing Monday that Taylor could be seen “holding her by the neck so she could
stand.”
Collier allegedly told police they met Englehardt at a local
restaurant and gave her a drug that police believe to be Percocet, Alsina testified.
The men then took her credit card and left her unconscious.
Police are awaiting a coroner’s report to determine if
Englehardt died as a result of the pill, the sexual assault, or another cause.
Those tests could determine if the two men, who are
currently charged with burglary, battery, and sexual battery, will also face
murder charges, police said.
