Evoire Collier, 21, and Dorian Taylor, 24 – both from Greensboro, North Carolina – were arrested on Monday on charges that they drugged, raped and stole her credit cards, according to police reports quoted by the Post.
The two men were caught by surveillance footage entering the Albion Hotel with the victim, a Pennsylvania resident, at about 1 am on Thursday, police said.
After she was identified, many on Facebook commented on a 2019 post by Englehardt, warning of predators, the WPLG reported.
“So if you feel insecure in any way or have a feeling that something is not right … follow your instinct,” she wrote. “This is a dangerous world now, unfortunately, and you never know what someone’s real intentions are.”
Investigators are still trying to determine whether the victim’s death was due to an overdose of a pill allegedly provided by the men. If so, the two may also face charges of manslaughter or manslaughter, reported the Miami Herald.
