Detectives obtained surveillance video showing them entering the Albion Hotel with the 24-year-old victim from Pennsylvania — and later leaving without her. Miami Beach police say the woman was found partly nude and lifeless inside her room at the Albion on James Avenue on Thursday.
Investigators say the two men met their victim at a restaurant, gave her a pill and went to her hotel where they “they had sex with her multiple times once she was unconscious or out” and that “they remained inside the unit and didn’t call for assistance or help and began to take all her items.”
Authorities are trying to determine if she died of an overdose from a pill the men allegedly gave her.
If that is determined to be the case, the suspects could face a manslaughter or murder charge.
They’re also accused of stealing her credit cards and using them at several locations across Miami Beach. Detectives say they obtained surveillance video of one of the suspects using the woman’s credit cards at local shops.
Taylor and Collier appeared in court Monday and are being held with no bond.
