Robert Hunt had habitually fantasized about having sex with dead women. When he saw Elizabeth Ramspott's engagement photo in the daily news, he decided to pay a visit to her mobile home. He shoplifted a BB gun, several pairs of women's panties and a pair of nylon stockings and knocked on the door.
When she answered, he forced his way in, bound her hands and feet and filled her mouth and throat with the panties. He wound the stockings around her neck. When she stopped moving, he picked her up and moved her to the bedroom where he fulfilled his fantasy.
Afterward, he felt her pulse and believed she might be alive. He carried her to the bathtub and placed her head under the water while her body twitched and shook. The phone rang and he fled. Later, he had his wife call the police and report the murder.
On the evening of April 12, 1984, Robert's wife called the Norfolk Police Department to report that her husband was behaving erratic and claiming to have killed someone. Several police officers were dispatched to his residence, where they found Robert sitting alone on the living room floor, sobbing. Although he was visibly disturbed, Robert eventually explained that he had killed a woman and gave the officer's Elizabeth's address.
Two officers left the scene to investigate. Robert provided additional information to the remaining officers, telling them that he had brandished a BB gun to gain entrance to the woman's trailer and that he had sexually assaulted her after she was dead. Robert directed the officers to a box containing several pairs of ladies underwear, nylon hosiery, pornographic magazines, a pair of glasses, and a BB gun. As Robert sobbed, he muttered the words "please don't kill me." After one of the officers assured Robert that no one was going to kill him, Robert responded "No, not me. She said please don't kill me, please don't kill me, and I didn't listen, I did it anyway."
Meanwhile, upon arriving at the address Robert provided, the two officers found Elizabeth lying nude, face down in an empty bathtub. They observed that nylon material was wrapped around her neck and that something had been stuffed into her mouth. The officers notified their colleagues at Robert's house that Elizabeth was dead, whereupon Robert was arrested.
During an interview, Robert explained that he had been plagued by violent fantasies in which he would render a woman unconscious and then have sex with her. He stated that many years earlier he had assaulted a high school teacher for the purpose of fulfilling this fantasy.
He also stated that on a number of previous occasions, he had taken a kitchen knife and some pornographic materials and had gone looking for a woman to attack, but had been unable to find a suitable victim. Robert explained that he picked Elizabeth after seeing her photo in the engagement announcement in the local paper. He stated that he shoplifted the BB gun, a rope and a package of nylons. He then drove to Elizabeth's home and surveilled her house for some time before knocking on the door and forcing his way in. Robert provided details about how he strangled her into unconsciousness and gratified his sexual urges.
