Woman accused of killing after alleged carjacking in Chester County denied bond

CHESTER COUNTY, S.C. — One of the suspects charged in the killing of a good Samaritan in Chester County last year was denied bond during a hearing on Friday.

Channel 9′s Tina Terry was in court as Amber Nicole Harris, one of two people charged in the murder of Linda Robinson, received no bond during the court appearance.

Linda Robinson’s husband, Vernon Robinson, was at the hearing. They were high school sweethearts and were married for nearly 50 years.

“She was the greatest person on the face of the earth to me,” Robinson said. “She might not mean nothing to nobody else, but she was the greatest person in the world to me.”

The sheriff’s office said Robinson was driving to a Walmart in Chester when she picked up Harris and George “Si” Linward Faile after their vehicle broke down on the side of the road in Fairfield County in August 2021.

They rode with her in her van to Walmart where she was getting a prescription filled and waited for her in the van, deputies said.

After leaving the store, deputies said Faile and Harris asked Robinson to drive to a road in northern Chester County where they killed her in her van. Robinson’s husband said they beat her to death and then dumped her body on the roadside and left in the van.

Robinson’s body was found hours later along Carpenter Road off Highway 72 in the Lewis Turnout community.

“My wife was a wonderful person,” Robison said. “Nobody should have ever done her like they did her.”

After her body was discovered, police were called to the Walmart in Chester for a missing person investigation. Robinson was reported missing and was last seen at the store.

As the investigation began, the police department and sheriff’s office determined that the woman found dead along Carpenter Road was Robinson.

Authorities arrested Faile and Harris on murder warrants a day later. The Chester County Sheriff’s Office said it believed Faile and Harris were high on meth at the time of the killing.

Prosecutors told the judge that Harris’ DNA was found under the victim’s fingernails, in her car, and on the two-by-four board used in the killing.

“I don’t think she or he should ever see daylight again,” Robinson said. “The way they did that. They don’t have remorse for nobody. They don’t have feelings for nobody.”

The sheriff said Faile is a known meth user who was out on bond for trafficking meth in July 2021.

Faile has been in and out of jail six times and Harris has been behind bars 36 times, according to the sheriff. Both were out of jail on bond for other charges, having been arrested on drug charges only weeks prior to murdering Linda Robinson.

“I just pray (Harris) never gets out,” Robinson said.

Faile was denied bond for his murder charge during a hearing weeks ago.
