without power, beck moved in temporarily with justin bullard. and when he needed more money for drugs, called the escort service again, this time from bullard's phone, and set up the meeting with virginia russell. >> sure. >> he took bullard's boots and gun and the beer from his own apartment. when virginia arrived, beck got into her car, and they went to a deserted location. each drank a beer and threw the empty bottles out the window. prosecutors think beck was acquainted with virginia from a previous meeting and decided to kill her so she wouldn't identify him. blood spattered on the remaining beer bottle and on the boots beck had stolen from bullard. beck dragged virginia's body onto the road, then shot her two
