A South Carolina woman has been charged with murder after a man was found dead in a roadway earlier this month — and investigators found video on her phone showing the man walking down the road while they were having some kind of domestic dispute.
Charleston County deputies said they responded to call about an “unresponsive man” in the road way and found him “clearly deceased” with tire marks on his body, WCIV reports.
While they were on the scene, Phoebe Grace Armstrong, 28, drove by and was stopped by a deputy.
According to WCSC, Armstrong said she had dropped the victim off at his home and gone home, but GPS data showed her in the area between 8 p.m. and 8:33 p.m., and the video recovered from her phone showed her driving as the victim walked away from the vehicle just before 8:30 p.m.
A forensics examination found dried blood on the undercarriage of Armstrong’s vehicle and inside the rear wheel well.
Detectives say Armstrong told them she dropped the victim, who has not been publicly identified, off at his home and went straight home on the night of Nov. 30, but further investigation indicated GPS data on her phone showed her to have traveled down Whistler Road and left the area between 8 p.m. and 8:33 p.m.
An affidavit says Armstrong and the man were engaged in a domestic dispute at the time that video was shot and that the two had an “extensive history” of violence in which they were both victims and perpetrators, WCIV said.
GPS data showed Armstrong’s vehicle in the area where the man was found dead and leaving the location. she drove to a nearby Circle K gas station, where surveillance video showed her walking around her car using her cell phone flash light.
She was charged with murder and booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center. She’s being held without bond, jail records show.
