GUILTY VA - Tameka Claiborne, 27, Richmond, 20 July 2010

[Shutterfly]

Three miles upriver from where Jill Edmunds was found.......

Tameka was found at 6600 Westover Road in Charles City County.

Jill was found off of Gunn's Run Road in Charles City County.

Tameka ( we assume) disappeared from the 700 block of Blandy Road in Richmond, her apartment.

Jill ( we assume) disappeared from the Powhite Bridge in Richmond where her car was found.

Roughly 4 miles separates their last known locations.

It's 30 miles from where these two women went missing to the locations in which they were found.

What am I saying.....I have no clue. It just REALLY freaks me out when I look at this....

...Police confirmed yesterday that it was Claiborne's body that was found Friday in the James River in Charles City County, her legs bound at the ankles. She was killed by multiple stab wounds, a law enforcement source said....

Yesterday, police located Solomon's missing car in a parking lot of the Autumn Woods apartment complex in Hopewell, the city where Solomon formerly lived and where his mother currently resides. Police declined to discuss why it was there or how long it had been left...

I'm wondering if this Solomon guy smoked. According to the earlier article a cigarette butt was removed from her apartment along with other items.... DNA left wide open there!

Yes, he smokes, here's a picture from his myspace profile...

Michael Solomon, named as a person of interest in the death of his girlfriend, has been charged with abducting her 2-year-old son.

Also, something to support Tameka's father's theory that other people were involved in the murder of his daughter is that people who live there say the car was not parked there last night.

It showed up this morning at around 9:30 a.m.

Third arrest in Tameka Claiborne murder
A third person has been charged in connection with the July 20 abduction and stabbing death of a Richmond woman, according to WWBT news. Tameka Claiborne’s body was found on July 23 on the banks of the James River in Charles City County.

Police were alerted to the possibility of foul play when the 27-year-old woman’s 2-year-old son was found alone in the parking lot of the Addison at Swift Creek apartment complex.

Claiborne’s 27-year-old boyfriend, Michael Solomon, has been charged with her murder by the Richmond Police Department. Alphonzo Richardson, 32, of Petersburg, has been charged in connection with the case with unlawful disposal of a body, which is a felony, and accessory after the fact to murder, a misdemeanor.

Darren Fenceroy, 27, of Prince George County, has been charged with being an accessory after the fact. He is accused of helping to move Solomon’s car after Solomon turned himself in to Richmond police on July 23.

Michael D. Solomon's trial for the murder of his girlfriend, Tameka Claiborne, ended Wednesday when he agreed to a plea bargain that resulted in an active prison sentence of 40 years...

Solomon, 29, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder as well as to child neglect and concealment charges in connection with the fatal stabbing of Claiborne on July 20 at the couple's home. Authorities say Solomon dumped Claiborne's body in the James River and abandoned her 3-year-old son at an apartment complex in Chesterfield County, where the boy was found unharmed.
