"This guy is going to get caught for sure."
That's what Tom Nolan told me when I asked him about the man Boston police want to question about a
murder in one Back Bay hotel and a robbery in another.
Nolan is an associate professor of criminal justice at Boston University, and a former Boston police officer with 27 years of service under his belt.
"He looks like anyone who could be walking down Commonwealth Avenue, looks like any man. But someone knows him."
The man, who is white and has blond hair, was captured by surveillance cameras at the Copley Marriott and the nearby Westin Hotel on the nights of two strikingly similar attacks.
On April 10, inside a Westin hotel room, a woman, who'd advertised massage services on Craig's List, was bound and robbed at gunpoint.
Tuesday night at the Marriott, 26-year old Julissa Brisman of New York City was found shot multiple times in the doorway of her 20th floor room. She, too, had advertised massage services on Craig's list and had a restraint on one arm.
"This form of expressive aggression and violence he used may suggest this is someone who has got a history of vioence against women, may be someone who is mentally disordered, and police know this," says Nolan.
"Technology will ultimately prove his undoing. The very means by which he gained access to his victims and target his victims, selected his victims, communicated with them... this is all retrievable information and information that forensic investigators can identify and use to track down who this individual is."
