Dont ding me for bumping. But I came across this. They caught the scumbag last month.

HOUSTON—A 31-year-old Houston man is facing charges in the death of a 19-year-old woman whose burned body was found in the back of a charred car last month.
Phillip Erric Boldon is charged with murder. Police believe he fatally stabbed Sarah Weyrick, put her body in the backseat of her car and took it to the parking lot of the Mansions of Shadowbriar Apartments on June 2.
Investigators said he then lit the car on fire in a bid to cover up the crime.
Firefighters responded to the scene, and after they put out the blaze, they found the body.
Police arrested Boldon without incident on July 14.

Phillip Erric Boldon has not wasted time advertising for a special friendship, even while awaiting trial in a Texas jail for the stabbing death of a Burlington teen.
Boldon, who prosecutors say also goes by the name Phillip Bolden Jr., is charged in Harris County, Texas, with the murder of 19-year-old Sarah Ashley Weyrick. Officials with the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences said Weyrick was stabbed multiple times in the neck.
Weyrick lived a few blocks from an apartment complex parking lot where she was found inside her burnt car June 2. She had been dead two days. Prosecutors said her legs had been bound.
On Friday, Boldon, who is in the Harris County jail, registered with the online pen pal site, writeaprisoner.com, looking for friendship or more.
"I'm seeking to find someone genuinely real and sincere to establish a friendship with and see where things can go," the 31-year-old wrote. "Age and race are not important to me, neither is geographical location. Personality, sense of humor and honesty are a must."
The website included an alert, notifying those browsing the site the posting was new.
Boldon, like other inmates who advertise on the site gave a description of himself including his "likes and dislikes."
He also posted a photo.
"I'm very open-minded with an outgoing personality and great sense of humor," he wrote. "... I love to get out for a night on the town, but can also enjoy myself just the same spending the evening at home with close friends and family or just cuddling on the couch for a blockbuster night."
According to the website, all the information is provided by members posting it. Site administrators verify the information only when the state where the member is incarcerated has online records.
In Boldon's profile, it said he is awaiting trial for murder, and there is a link to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website.
There are two ways to correspond with inmates through the site, either by sending letters to the address of the facility they are in, or via e-mail - inmates do not have Internet access. The site will print the messages and deliver them to the inmate.
Representatives from the website could not be reached Friday.
Meeting women outside the walls of prison is not new for Boldon.
He met a 25-year-old woman, who later became his girlfriend, while he was serving time in a prison in Hunstville, Texas, for possession of crack cocaine and forgery.
Boldon also met another woman, who he ended up marrying, also while inside the Huntsville facility. He and the woman recently divorced.
His former wife described him as a manipulator.
According to a background check obtained from Harris Couanty District Court records, Boldon has had several run-ins with the Texas penal system from theft, credit card abuse, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal trespass, harboring a runaway child and several serious drug offenses.
The break in the Weyrick case came when an anonymous tipster called Houston Police detectives and reported seeing "a lot of blood in his friend's apartment."
That tipster identified the friend as Boldon, who lives at the Renaissance Apartments, which was 15 minutes away - nearly eight miles - from the Mansions of Shadowbriar Apartments where Weyrick's body was found.
A search warrant revealed more blood in Boldon's apartment, including what authorities described as blood-soaked carpets. They took samples for DNA comparison.
A drug dealer also stepped forward and allegedly told police Boldon paid for drugs with blood-stained money. Detectives acquired a surveillance video at a nearby Walmart, where authorities said Boldon was seen buying a gallon of Great Value brand water. A jug containing gasoline, a Great Value water jug, was found near Weyrick's body.
Prosecutors said he attempted to cover up evidence by burning the woman's vehicle with her inside. Investigators said Boldon and Weyrick met through mutual friends.
He was arrested last month.
Boldon will be arraigned for one count of murder on Aug. 24.
He was not charged with capital murder, which, in Texas would make him eligible for the death penalty. His class of murder charge carries the maximum penalty of life in prison.
