Erika Yancey

Erika Yancey was a 22-year-old baggage handler who was stabbed to death in the parking structure of apartment building outside her apartment at 2320 Dulles Station Boulevard in Herndon by Marcus Williams on November 16, 2008.[1][2]

Williams was the former boyfriend of Ellen Phillips, who had entered into a lesbian relationship with Yancey.[2] Upset by this turn of events, Williams and Michael Thomas, Jr. conspired to murder Yancey, slashing her throat and placing her corpse in the trunk of her 2007 Hyundai Elantra, which they then abandoned in a parking lot on Sunrise Valley Drive.[1]
