During a press conference from the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia on Friday, 48-year-old Redding woman, Stephanie Harrison, was confirmed as a victim of the alleged "shopping cart serial killer."
"DNA evidence has confirmed the IDs of Cheyenne Brown, 29-years-old of Washington D.C., and Stephanie Harrison, 48-years-old of Redding, California, as the victims found in a container near the Moon Inn Hotel in Alexandria," Fairfax County Chief of Police Kevin Davis announced during the department's press conference on Friday. "Anthony Eugene Robinson, 35-year-old, who is currently incarcerated at the Rockingham County Adult Detention Center, remains our primary suspect."
Harrison went missing on August 19 of 2021 after a flier from The Aware Foundation said she traveled to Washington DC. The flier also says her sister reviewed her bank records that showed she checked into the Moon Inn Motel in Alexandria Virginia. This is where authorities say Robinson met at least two of his victims after meeting them on a dating site.
Police say Anthony Eugene Robinson, 35, used a shopping cart to transport his victim’s bodies into a wooded area that was later found near the Moon Inn. A container next to the shopping cart had two sets of human remains—both confirmed Brown and Harrison.
"Robinson is awaiting trials for the murders of two women in Harrisonburg Virginia. He transported the bodies of these women in a shopping cart," said Chief Davis. "We believe he transported at least one of our Fairfax County victims in a shopping cart as well."
"Just this week, we received a tip—critical tip, that our person of interest may be linked to another case where a woman was found deceased in a shopping cart in Washington D.C. My detectives immediately contacted the Metropolitan DC Police Department to share this information. That deceased woman, in a shopping cart, was covered only with a blanket. We believe this may be Anthony Eugene Robinson's fifth victim," said Fairfax County Police Department Major Crimes Chief, Ed O'Carroll. "This is based on digital evidence that puts him in the same vicinity around the time of the victim's disappearance."
Robinson is currently being held at the Rockingham County Jail in Virginia without bond.
