Fawley Statement

Updated:

Sources tell 8 news that 38 year old Ben Fawley is admitting to burying Behl's body in Mathew's County.

A source close to the investigation tells 8 news Ben Fawley now admits Taylor Behl died accidentally while the two were having sex. We're told police interviewed Fawley for more than two hours at the Richmond City Jail. His statement is described as more of a rough sex defense rather than a confession.

The source tells 8 news Ben Fawley admits to burying Taylor Behl's body in Mathews County after she died, indicating he was scared. Fawley had already admitted to having sex with the 17 year old. These latest revelations came to police during a jailhouse interview Wednesday night. Fawley reportedly told a deputy he wanted to talk and investigators went to the jail to take his statement.

The source tells 8 news Fawley made the statements against his attorney Chris Collins' advice. This new information comes just one day after we told you a gas station attendant placed Ben Fawley in New Kent County in a car similar to Taylor Behl's white ford escort. New Kent is located between Richmond and Mathews County where Behl's remains were discovered.
