craigslist attacker

[susi]

just in case no one saw this...

Yesterday a sex worker from NYC was brutally murdered here in Boston. Police are saying they think its the second attack by the same guy (first was not killed). He makes appointments with people on Craig's List to come to Boston and meet him in nice hotels. There are surveillance photos of the guy being posted now, at this link:

PLEASE spread the word to anyone you think needs to know about this. Feel free to post on list servers. I'm thinking that people outside of Boston may not know this is happening -- and those are the people he's preying on.

"Police believe that she may have been involved with prostitution and that there was an attempted robbery."

Seems like a little more than just an attempted robbery, this seems like the start of a possible string of murders, targeted towards sextrade workers, if the police to not make an arrest soon. Thats frightening and upsetting. My heart goes out to the victims family.

BOSTON - Boston police say a man is in custody in connection with the death last week in a luxury hotel of a woman who advertised massage services on Craigslist.


Police had no further information and a spokesman for the district attorney said he didn't know of any charges filed in the case.


Julissa Brisman was found dead Tuesday at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.


The 29-year-old New York City woman advertised massage services on Craigslist and had a massage table set up in the room where she was shot, police said.


The man also is being held in connection with the robbery last week of a woman at the Westin Copley Hotel in Boston.


Authorities believe Brisman's death also may be connected to the attempted robbery Thursday in Warwick, R.I., of an exotic dancer by a man responding to an ad she had posted on Craigslist.


She was held at gunpoint before her husband entered the room and her attacker fled.


Four photos released Monday by Warwick police show a man in a dark jacket with a baseball cap pulled low, obscuring much of his face.


Boston police said they've received more than 150 tips about Brisman's fatal shooting.


Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll did not immediately provide any other information about the man Monday.
