JOGGER MURDERS: KARINA VETRANO & VANESSA MARCOTTE

[Blindgreed1]

Vanessa Marcotte is from New York City and was killed while jogging during a visit to Massachusetts.

I haven't seen that a third jogger has been killed (in Massachusetts).

Are you referring to Vanessa, Gunnar?

Just caught a blip about it on the morning news before I left for work. Didn't catch the name. I believe she was from NY and visiting her mother? Either way, they're using the word serial. What's the confirmed count on victims HoTD?

It's just Karina and Vanessa at this point, Gunnar.

I understand why a lot of people suspect there may be serial killer on the loose, given the similarities between the two cases.

But, I don't think any link between the murders of Karina and Vanessa has been established at this point.

I get the sense LE has, at least internally, ruled out family and friends in Karina's case, and of course they've got that unidentified DNA.

In Vanessa's case, I think LE is probably still interviewing family, friends, boyfriends, local sex offenders, etc... and also pursuing an unfamiliar predator angle.

Not much has been released in the way of evidence in Vanessa's case yet. Hopefully, LE can obtain offender DNA in her case too.

I just read up. Sorry, didn't notice you already posted up her story. So... There are two jogging victims (1 in NY and 1 in Mass.) and the media is throwing the term "serial killer" around about two cases which have yet to be confirmed related? Irresponsible journalism. If the two are related I'd be surprised if there weren't many more victims. They don't just decide to start killing on a whim. It's a process of escalating fantasy.
