The new Hulu crime series Murder Has Two Faces puts the spotlight on a lesser known case and how it was completely fumbled by cops, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The Terrifying Encounter
For this meet-up, Wheeler-Weaver wore a ski mask, black gloves, and dark clothes as the duo drove away in one of Taylor’s friend’s car. Moments later, she would be hit on the head and knock unconscious.
Taylor – pregnant at the time – would find herself handcuffed with duct tapped wrapped around her head upon waking up, as Wheeler-Weaver had her in a chokehold while sexually assaulting her.
After Wheeler-Weaver had loosen her handcuffs, the pair headed back to the New Jersey hotel and as soon as they got there Taylor ran to her room, kicked the door and was let in by her friend, as Wheeler-Weaver was left on the other side.
Taylor would soon call the cops, but as she described in the crime doc, they were no help at all.
Police Failure
In the body cam footage, a cop responded: What injures do you have?” to which Taylor said, “Look at my face… from the duct tape.”
“So you let him duct tape? Or what happened?” the cop said back.
The Deadly Reign Ends
Just one week after the terrifying encounter, Wheeler-Weaver would murder 20-year-old Sarah Butler, his third murder victim amid his crime spree.
He had also taken the lives of Robin West, 19, and Joanne Brown, 33, all between August and November 2016 – using a social networking app known as Tagged to meet his victims.
Three years later, Wheeler-Weaver was convicted of all three murders and sentenced to 160 years behind bars, with Taylor being able to tell her story in court.
