Investigators released today a clear photograph of the suspect taken during the most recent attack in Warwick, R. The series of images show the suspect inside the Holiday Inn Express Hotel last Thursday evening, the scene of an attempted robbery of a woman.
The pictures of the man in the Rhode Island hotel are very similar to a surveillance camera photo of the suspect in the murder of Julissa Brisman in a Boston hotel just days earlier.
Detectives also have a match among plastic zip-tie cuffs used to bind all three women. Two law enforcement sources told ABC News that the plastic restraints are being investigated after they were used to bind the hands of the victims. The sources told ABC News that they are "getting closer" to the arrest of the man captured on a series of surveillance cameras in Boston's upscale Back Bay: a something, clean-cut blond man was seen leaving a luxury hotel where police said Brismana year-old masseuse, was shot and killed just moments before in her room, police said.
Brisman's death is the second in a series of crimes against women who police say advertised on Craigslist. Finally, late Thursday night -- an hour south in Rhode Island -- there was a similar attempted robbery.
Police said all the women were tied up and threatened at gunpoint. It is believed that Brisman may have tried to resist her attacker as he tried to bind her wrists, and was shot. It's really an ideal environment for criminals.
Gay Talese, an author who writes on the sex trade whose most popular book, "Thy Neighbor's Wife" came out long before sites like Craigslist existed, said such sites are making the problem much bigger because the players are anonymous. Just last November, Craigslist entered into an agreement with 40 state attorneys general to eliminate some of the anonymity by requiring credit cards to post these erotic.
The company CEO told ABC News they are deeply saddened by the events and are "evaluating the incident to see if they can better protect Craigslist users.
But experts say little can be done to prevent criminals from using the Internet to stalk their prey. We'll notify you here with news about.
