- Q18159317 abstract "Wincopia Farms is a historic farm located at North Laurel, Howard County, Maryland, United States. Charles Alexander Warfield and Elizabeth Ridgley built a joint mill on land patended as "Wincopin Neck". Gristmill operations were underway by 1760. Later owners of the factory included Richard Ridgley. Samuel F. Hearn rented the farm out in the 1940s selling horses, cows and heifers from delinquent tenants.Wincopia farms is located on a land grant "Wincopin Neck". Of the three large remaining farms that occupied Wincopin Neck, Overlook Farm and Fairlands remain well preserved, but the 124 acre Wincopia Farms was purchased for development. The Hearn family operated the farm for over 200 years. They raised Poinsettias with customers that included the White House and Kennedy Center. On 8 September 1992, a man and a teenager attempted a series of failed carjackings starting at the southbound I-95 rest stop on Wincopin property leased by the Hearn Family through the Bolling Brook subdivisions. The men carjacked the vehicle of Dr. Pam Basu and her 22-month-old daughter at a stop at Horsham and Kightsbridge road. Basu attempted to retrieve her daughter, and was dragged to death along Gorman Road, with the carjackers leaving her body entangled at the fenced entrance to Wincopia Farms. As a direct result of the violent incident, the Federal Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992 (FACTA) was created, the first federal carjacking law. The 1992 act, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 2119, took effect on October 25, 1992.In 1992, the Hearn family took out a $4.5 million high interest loan from Gourley and Gourley LLC secured by the property to overhaul and expand the company greenhouses. By the Great Recession in the United States in 2007, the debt accrued to $10 million. Gourley and Gourley LLC foreclosed on the high interest sustainment loan, liquidating the family inventory and belongings, evicting the Hearn family, and reselling the property for $41 million to build 220 homes on the site. Howard County designated the main access, Gorman road, a scenic road but offered the developer exemptions to reduce setbacks, widen the road, add a tunnel, and cut down the 300-year-old trees that bordered the road.".
