Four bodies found in Virginia are victims of “shopping cart killer”

FAIRFAX, Va. (KLKN) – Virginia police say the discovery of four bodies at two different locations within the state is the work of a serial killer dubbed the”shopping cart killer.”

According to the Fairfax County Police, the remains of two bodies were found in a wooded area in Northern Virginia on Wednesday, December 15th.

The bodies were discovered in a large plastic container near a shopping cart in the woods.  According to Police Chief Kevin Davis, “he does unspeakable things with his victims.”

Anthony Robinson, “shopping cart killer,” of Washington, D.C.

Last month, police in Harrisonburg arrested 35-year-old Anthony Robinson of Washington, D.C. after finding two bodies there.

Robinson’s arrest in Harrisonburg led to the discovery of the bodies found in Fairfax.

According to Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis, “he meets his victims on dating sites then meets them at motels, after he inflicts trauma to his victims and kills them, he transports their bodies to their final resting place, literally in a shopping cart.”

Authorities know Robinson has residences as far north as New York and are looking to find additional contacts and residences Robinson may have had.

Two of the remains have been positively identified and one of the remains is tentatively identified.

Robinson remains in custody in Rockingham County and will have a hearing in Harrisonburg on December 27th.

An investigation will remain open and ongoing in an attempt to identify more potential victims and bring closure to their families.
