fatally stabbing a teen girl and then carrying her dead
body in a bag past her mother. Ricki D. Williams IV, 18,
has been accused of killing Gina Burger, 16, dragging
her body in a bag in front of her mother and then
dumping her remains in a Pennsylvania landfill, reports
the Daily Mail.
Federal Marshals arrested the boy – whom is said to be
homeless, on Tuesday and took him to Youngstown,
Ohio. Standing before a judge, he smiled while the
charges against him – which include aggravated murder
and kidnapping — were rattled off. He is being held
without bond.
"There is evil in the world and he's one of those evil
people," the prosecutor said after his hearing.
Burger was reported missing by her mother, Jacqueline
Bacher, on June 23. The 16-year-old girl told her mom
she was leaving their Compass West apartment to
borrow iced tea. Police believe Williams kidnapped the
girl, whom they think knew the suspect, and held her
against her will in an apartment in the same complex
where an acquaintance of hers reportedly lived.
Williams allegedly tried to "force" the woman who lived
in the apartment to stab the teen, but she refused. He
then reportedly killed her himself with a knife and, after
threatening to kill the apartment owner, got the woman
to help him stuff Burger's body into her son's pack and
play bag, reports WPXI.
Burger's mother was reportedly outside of her apartment
when she saw the teen walk past carrying the bag. He
allegedly asked her if she "wanted to buy a baby thing"
before somehow fleeing the scene. Bacher says she
wondered what the teen had in the bag, but that she
never suspected it would be her daughter's body. Police
aren't sure how Williams transported Burger to a landfill
in Mercer County, Pa., but her remains were discovered
there one week later.
