Once she got inside, police said Murphy called her into the bathroom and told her she was going to dance naked at a local club and sell her body for money, then give all the cash to him.

The woman told police she saw guns and ammunition in the condo. 

The 19-year-old was left alone in the condo with another woman, who told her Murphy would beat her if she didn't comply with his orders.
