MIAMI – Two men from North Carolina who were vacationing in South Beach for spring break have been charged with drugging and raping a woman who was later found dead in a hotel.
Evoire Collier, 21, and Dorian Taylor, 24, are being held on multiple charges, including burglary with battery, sexual battery, petty theft and fraudulent use of a credit card.
The victim is 24-year-old Christine Englehardt who was visiting alone from Pennsylvania.
CBS Miami reported: Collier and Taylor met the 24-year-old woman who was visiting from Pennsylvania at a restaurant. As they walked on Ocean Drive, one of the men reportedly gave her a green pill. It’s not clear if they slipped it to her secretly or if she took it willingly, according to the arrest report.
At the woman’s hotel, both men had sex with her and Taylor forced himself on her as she appeared to be unconscious.
The men then reportedly stole the woman’s credit cards and cell phone and left.
The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office says it is still conducting tests, and no cause of death has been determined pending a toxicology report.
Englehardt’s friend spoke to WPLG. Watch below.
The investigation is ongoing.
