Woman Raped And Found Dead In Hotel Room Had Warned Of Predators In Facebook Post

A woman, who was allegedly drugged, raped, robbed and left to die by two spring breakers in a Miami hotel room, has been identified. It was found that in 2019, she had written a Facebook post warning her friends about predators.

The body found in a room at Albion Hotel on Thursday belonged to 24-year-old Christine Englehardt of Philadelphia, a report from WBT Charlotte's News Talk said.

Englehardt's body was found a while after she had met up with suspects Dorian Taylor and Evoire Collier at a restaurant in South Beach. The three of them were seen on surveillance footage going back to the victim's hotel room, but only Taylor and Collier could be seen leaving the hotel 30 minutes later.

Collier told the investigators that Taylor had given the victim a green pill, reported Miami Herald. When exactly the pill was given to her remains unknown.

Police found green pills in Taylor's possession, the arrest report said. Collier thinks that the green pill that Taylor gave might be a painkiller, specifically mentioning that it might be Percocet.

They also recovered Englehardt's cell phone. According to the report, the two men also stole her credit cards and used them in "various locations" in Miami Beach.

The cause of Englehardt's death has not been determined.

The two suspects, Taylor and Collier, have been charged with fraudulent credit card usage, sexual battery and burglary. The two of them could face additional charges if it's found that any of them have been involved in Englehardt's death.

When Englehardt's identity was established, many people online brought up a post that she had created in 2019 after witnessing a suspicious person. In the said post, she warned her friends about predators.

"If you ever feel unsafe in any way or have a feeling something isn't right... always go with your gut," Englehardt's Facebook post read. "This is a dangerous world now unfortunately and you never know what anyone's true intentions are."

Hailey Davis, one of the victim's friends, described her as "a good person" in an interview with WSVN 7News. She also said that Englehardt "didn't deserve" what had happened to her.

A GoFundMe page has already been set up to assist Englehardt's family with her funeral expenses. So far, the fundraiser has already exceeded its goal of $20,000.
