A tragic and disturbing event has shaken the quiet community of Mobile, Alabama. A young Marine, Willie Ellington, has been charged with the murder of 26-year-old Tshey Bennett. Her body was found in a pond in a secluded neighborhood, sending shockwaves through the community. Ellington, who was on active duty and stationed at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida, was taken into custody by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office on December 18.
Bennett, who worked as an exotic dancer on the popular show "Skrippa Bootcamp," was last seen alive just 50 miles away in Pensacola. The Sheriff's Office revealed that she had met Ellington at the Sweet Dream Inn before her disappearance. The 20-year-old Marine has been charged with first-degree murder and possession of child pornography in connection to her death.
According to reports, police suspect that a PlayStation power cord was used to strangle Bennett, but they are waiting for the official autopsy report for confirmation. Sheriff Jay Jones of Lee County described how Ellington was apprehended, saying, "Our team quickly scrambled to the station and set up a surveillance operation after receiving a tip that he was on a bus stopping in Opelika, Alabama. When the bus arrived, investigators spotted and arrested a man matching the suspect's description."
Sheriff Chip W. Simmons also shared disturbing details about the evidence found during the investigation that led to Ellington's charges. He revealed that they had executed ten search warrants on cars, hotel rooms, and phones, leading them to discover that Ellington had searched for things like "What does a dead body look like after two days?," "How many prostitute murders go unsolved?," and "If you're strangled, can you still scream?"
Ellington, a private first class in the U.S. Marine Corps, was also found to have child pornography on his phone, which resulted in additional charges. He first came onto law enforcement's radar after Bennett's family members called to express their concerns on December 14. Upon searching the Sweet Dream Inn, they found Bennett's car and two cellphones, as well as a PlayStation cord and a stripped bed. This alarming scene prompted authorities to continue their search, ultimately leading to the discovery of Bennett's body.
Bennett, who was featured on the first season of "Skrippa Bootcamp," was just one of 12 exotic dancers living together in hopes of improving their careers. This tragic event has left the community in shock and mourning, with many wondering how such a heinous act could occur. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. This senseless act of violence serves as a reminder of the dark and dangerous realities that can exist in our society.
