A well-liked honor student and a gifted basketball player, she was the center of her parents' world. After high school, she went to a prestigious private college on a partial basketball scholarship, and graduated with a Bachelor degree in history. She surprised her parents by coming home with more than a degree - she brought a new husband, a 23-year-old ex-Navy SEAL named Benjamin Sifrit, known to his family and friends by the nickname B.J. Her wealthy parents were not happy with her new husband, but tried to support their daughter. They helped the young couple open a business, assembling scrapbooks for customers. In May, 2002, Erika and B.J. took a break from the business to go on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland. But, on May 31, the couple found themselves in trouble. They were arrested for trying to steal over $5000 worth of merchandise from a Hooter's store. When police interrogated Erika, they got a lot more than they bargained for. Erika admitted that she and B.J. were behind the disappearance of another couple, Martha Crutchley and Joshua Ford. The couple had been reported missing earlier in the week, but police had no leads until the Sifrits' arrest. Erika said she and B.J. had met the couple in a bar and asked them back to their condominium, where B.J. had shot them and dismembered the bodies. The Sifrits had then taken the bodies to a dumpster in Delaware. Police charged Erika and B.J. with murder. Searching the Sifrits' vehicle and condo, police found that Erika didn't just help her scrapbooking customers preserve memories -- she also compulsively preserved her own. She had kept photographs of the murdered couple, the couple's ID cards, and spent bullets casings. She also wore Joshua Ford's blood-flecked ring around her neck on a chain. B.J. Sifrit went to trial before his wife, and blamed the murders on her. He claimed he had been asleep in their Jeep, and Erika woke him up to say she had killed Crutchley and Ford and needed his help disposing of the bodies. The jury believed him, only finding him guilty of the second-degree murder of Crutchley, and not guilty of Ford's murder. Erika was not so lucky. The jury found the woman prosecutors called "Little Miss Scrapbook" guilty of first-degree murder on both counts and sentenced her to life in prison. Written by Anonymous See less
