An Orange County attorney was killed Sunday morning in a Lake
Copeland residence, where a suspect was found hiding in the
backyard and was later arrested, according to Orlando Police.
William Franklin, 33, was arrested and faces charges of first
degree murder and burglary with a battery therein, OPD said.
Officers received a call Sunday morning in reference to a woman
being attacked at a home in 320 Jasmine Ave, where they found
Erin Hartigan, 44, dead at the scene, OPD said. OPD then entered
the backyard where they found Franklin hiding.
Further investigation discovered evidence supporting Franklin’s
involvement scattered around several blocks surrounding
Hartigan’s residence, which supports probable cause.
However, investigators could not establish a known link between
Hartigan and Franklin.
“We ask residents in the area to review their surveillance
cameras from back porches/backyard,” the department said.
Investigators are interested in any footage captured Sunday
between the hours of 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Anyone with information is asked to contact OPD at 321-235-5300
or the Crimeline tip line at 1-800-423-TIPS.
