Google Employee Vanessa Marcotte Murdered

On Sunday afternoon, 27-year-old Vanessa Marcotte left her mother's house to go for a run and never returned. She was found dead hours later in the woods of a quiet Massachusetts town. Her death marked the third killing of a female jogger in nine days, though police say the tragedies are unrelated.

Vanessa Marcotte was a Google account manager in New York and a graduate of Boston University. Last weekend she'd been visiting her mother for a few days in Princeton, Massachusetts, a small town about an hour's drive west of Boston. On Sunday at 1 p.m. she left the house to run along a two-lane road lined by trees. A police search began around 4 p.m. when she didn't return, and ended in the woods at 8:20 p.m., a half-mile from her mother’s house, where Marcotte was found dead.

Officials refused to reveal specific injuries at a news conference on Monday. The initial investigation shows Marcotte was killed — the town’s first murder in 30 years. Authorities are still working to determine if it was a random killing and if she was sexually assaulted.

Of several worried Princeton residents who spoke with the Boston Globe, one father said his two young daughters often jog in the same area. "People run all the time," he said. "This town is very safe."

In a statement, Google remembered Marcotte as "a much loved member of the Google team ... known for her ubiquitous smile, passion for volunteer work, and love of Boston sports."

The district attorney said there is "nothing at this point" to connect Marcotte’s murder to the killing of 30-year-old Karina Vetrano in New York last week. Vetrano was murdered on August 2, after leaving for an early evening jog, in a Queens park known as a "dumping ground" for bodies and a meeting place for teen dirt-biking, homeless camps, and religious-sect rituals. Vetrano’s father, who ultimately discovered her body, had previously warned her to not run there alone, according to the Daily Beast.

Three days before Vetrano's death, 31-year-old nurse Alexandra "Ally" Brueger was shot and killed in Michigan, on July 30, during an afternoon jog on a gravel road.

Police are still searching for suspects in all three unconnected murders. "There are some similarities — female, jogger. There are also major non-similarities to that case," NYPD deputy chief Michael Kemper, who is investigating Vetrano's murder, said of the Vanessa Marcotte investigation on Monday night. "We are comparing evidence, we are comparing notes; simply put ... we don't believe there is a connection. With that said we are going to continue to share notes and share evidence as both cases progress."

Bright and pretty woman. wonder how she was killed. maybe the burning attempt can bring up some clues with possible other murders. There are some similarities with the NY murder. Both joggers, during daylight, found (partially) naked, both pretty brunettes, near a wooded area.

After her death was confirmed, Massachusetts State Police set up an anonymous tip line for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious that afternoon. They are urging everyone who was in the area between 1 and 4 p.m. to call 508-453-7589 and speak to investigators.

"We've had hundreds of tips that are coming in, in regards to this," District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said Tuesday during a brief press conference. "We're still early in the investigation. We're taking the information as it comes in. There's not too much more I could say with regards to that."

5 Investigates learned that Marcotte may have been strangled, but her official cause and manner of death have not yet been officially released.

Early also reiterated the warning that everyone in Princeton should be using an abundance of caution.

"We're still approaching this from every angle," he said. "We don't know if this was a random act."

I'd be less concerned if there was a serial killer out there, rather than 3 different murderers all attacking joggers around the same time.That's if I lived there, of course....

wouldn't mind letting one of these to go undercover and kicking the killer's ass - STAFOC (Black Rose)

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. DUN DUN!

I think that whole case should be entirely uploaded to the internet and every greasy detail should be discussed by sensationalist social discussion groups and all the pictures that were taken from her dead body should be uploaded as well and if you enter her name, google should auto-complete it with "murder" and "rape" and the world should never forget her face and she should never really rest in peace.
Oh, already happened? Good!

What is it with the killing of joggers? It's been going on since the seventies, when jogging really took off. Happens even on well-populated, busy parks and trails. Ladies, make yourself aware of your surroundings, try to buddy up, and take the damn ear plugs out of your head. Pack some sort of weapon, as well.

Too bad, hope the killer is found.

Police are looking into it possibly being a serial killer
