2 robberies and one girl murdered and a trail leading back to the website Craigslist – no this is not a crime novel this is real life events in downtown Boston in April 2009

The real life drama so far :-

On Tuesday April 14, 2009, at approximately 10:13pm, officers from District 4 responded to a report of an unconscious female at the Copley Marriott Hotel at 110 Huntington Ave. Upon arrival, hotel security updated the police that the unconscious female may have been the victim of an assault, possibly a stabbing. Officers observed Ms. Brisman suffering from what was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.
Members of the Boston Fire Department administered CPR and EMS then rushed her to BMC where she was soon pronounced as a result of her injuries.
The preliminary investigation suggests Ms. Brisman was advertising masseuse services on Craigslist. Detectives believe that this incident was an attempted robbery. It appears that there was a struggle between the victim and the suspect in the threshold of the hotel room immediately prior to the shooting.
In addition, detectives believe that this incident is related to another recent incident which also occurred at a local hotel.
On April 10, 2009, at approximately 12:46am, officers responded to a robbery in progress at the Westin Hotel at 10 Huntington Ave. Officers received a report from a 29 year old female victim that she was robbed at gunpoint in her hotel room.
The Boston Police Homicide Unit is actively investigating the facts and circumstances of this incident and urges anyone with information regarding this incident to notify them by calling (617) 343-4470. Individuals wishing to provide information anonymously may do so by calling the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or texting ‘TIP’ to CRIME (27463). The Boston Police strictly protects the identity of all individuals wishing to provide information anonymously.
Some website comments that are surfacing :-

My guess is Julissa's appeal to the sickos who had paid for her services was that she looked to be 13...half her real age. Or, what is her real age? I've seen three different ages listed in published articles. I guess "Pretty-Boy" Jag Off, uhhh...Markoff, will be somebody's **** before the night's over. They'll have his name changed to Ben Dover before too long.

The reasons why legitimizing prostitution is a good idea; -Escorts would be able to screen clients more effectively, and therefore be safer. -Escorts would be required to apply for a escort license. The benefits of an Escort license would be; -Make it easier for law enforcement to keep track of legit "working girls". - A more effective way to identify minors / human trafficking. -Generate revenue by requiring / allowing girls to pay taxes. -Keep the public healthier / safer, because escorts would have to be screened for STDs to keep their licenses up to date.
