Police in Boston have released the identity of the woman killed at the Marriott Copley. She is 26-year-old Julissa Brisman. As I posted yesterday it seems that she was shot and killed after struggling with an attacker that planned to rob her. The alleged shooter seems to be targeting women who advertise in the erotic services section on craigslist.
The article has a great quote about the dangers of women prostituting themselves on craigslist.
At an area escort agency, a woman said working independently through sites like Craigslist is highly dangerous.
“Agencies are more secure – these sites are not,” she said, declining to provide her name. “The people who prey on these girls, they target independent escorts. They know that if you’re on Craigslist, you are unprotected.”
The killer still remains at large.
No comment yet from craigslist.
