Fugitive Darryl Crenshaw Sought in Ex-Girlfriend’s Death
Ashley Peoples was last seen by relatives driving off in a car with her ex-boyfriend, Darryl Crenshaw.
The last time Ashley Peoples’ family says they saw the 22-year-old, she was headed off to work at a car dealership. When she didn’t return home to Enfield, Conn. the next day, her stepfather immediately called police.
What they later learned of Ashely’s fate shocked the entire community.
Authorities discovered that Ashley had, in fact, gone to work that morning of Aug. 8, 2008. Her co-workers say her ex-boyfriend of two months, Darryl Crenshaw, came to see her. They say Crenshaw started an argument with Ashley, and violently shoved her out the door. Cops say, at that point, he left, but he didn’t go far.
Police later learned that after Ashley finished work that day, Crenshaw followed her to an appointment at a local salon. That’s where customers say they saw Crenshaw drag Ashley into his car and punch her in the face.
What’s worse, police learned that after he allegedly killed Ashley, he took another woman on a date to an amusement park.
Neighbors Call Police With Evidence
Ashley was unaware that Crenshaw was out on bail for kidnapping and assault charges on a previous girlfriend.The news of Ashley’s whereabouts came the following Sunday, three days after her disappearance.
A neighbor called police to say they had seen Crenshaw entering his home with a body over his shoulder. Police immediately went to check Crenshaw’s apartment in Enfield, where they found Ashley laying in Crenshaw’s bed. She had been badly beaten and strangled to death.
What’s worse, police learned that after Crenshaw allegedly killed Ashley, he took another woman on a date to an amusement park.
Police have since charged Crenshaw with Ashley’s murder, but they say he took off before they could arrest him.
Crenshaw was later seen in surveillance video withdrawing $200 from an ATM in Hartford. That was the last anyone saw of him, but it was not the last time anyone would hear from him.
On Monday, Aug. 18, 2008, Hartford Police say Crenshaw called Ashley’s stepfather, Rev. Baskerville, and was crying on the phone. He says Crenshaw was begging for forgiveness.

She says he then hit her and sped off with her in the vehicle. Savani alleges that Crenshaw later dropped her off in Meriden, Conn., and threatened to shoot her if she told anyone what he had done. Crenshaw was later released from jail after posting $50,000 bail.
