- August 23, 2013 – The corpse of 16-year-old McLean High School student Emylee A. Lonczak is found on the ground outside the house at 8228 Madrillon Estates Drive in Vienna following a tip. On August 21, Lonczak had gone on a shopping excursion with Kyle Alifom and two other men to purchase heroin in Washington, D.C., and lost consciousness after being injected with a combination of heroin and antihistamines. Knowing exactly how much trouble they would be in for giving narcotics to a minor, the group decided that rather than obtain prompt medical attention for Lonczak, they should take her to Alifom's house. They placed her on a bed in the basement, where she died while Alifom slept off his buzz. Discovering her dead the next morning, Alifom dragged her body outside and covered it with a screen in some bushes next to his house.
