Frederick Frampton

Frederick Lee Frampton Jr. was arrested on November 1, 2018 and charged in a February 2, 2010 home invasion robbery and murder in Odenton, Maryland. During the course of the robbery, three victims were bound and assaulted, including Margaret Ridgley, Donald Gagnon, and Kelly Skarwecki. Michael Temple was shot multiple times while trying to fend off Frampton, while the other attacker, Johnathan Ludwig, beat and choked Ms. Ridgley. Temple was rendered a quadriplegic after the shooting. He lived in a wheelchair until he passed away from health complications in June of 2015.

The FGG investigation was conducted by Parabon. Investigators put Frampton under surveillance and surreptitiously collected DNA from a cigarette butt and a coffee cup that he had discarded at a 7-11 store in Crofton.

Frampton pled guilty to first-degree murder. The second suspect, Johnathan Ludwig, was also identified, but he had passed away.
