Sonya Champ was 40 when her body was found in a shopping cart on the 200 block of F Street NE, near Stanton Park, on September 7, 2021. There were no obvious signs of trauma when her body was discovered, but the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled her death a homicide.

Investigators later linked the case to a suspect identified in Fairfax County, Virginia, as the so-called Shopping Cart Killer, Anthony Robinson. Digital evidence placed Robinson near where Champ was last seen around the time she disappeared, and D.C. police named him a suspect. Robinson was arrested and charged in the murders of two other women, Allene Elizabeth Redmon and Tonita Lorice Smith, and has been suspected in two additional deaths, Cheyenne Brown and Stephanie Harrison.

A major development came in September 2024 when Robinson’s DNA was reported to have been found on Champ’s body, a detail that tightened the connection between him and her death. What information can anyone provide about Sonya’s final movements or the area around Stanton Park that night?
