Reviewing the June 23rd Northboro and Westborough attempted abductions.
At the time of Vanessa's murder, these incidents seemed to me to be just coincidental to the murder. But after almost 6 months with no similar reported incidents, I'm wondering if perhaps there was a connection.
The details of the cases.
Thurs. June 23rd. 10:30am. A lone female jogger running a wooded stretch of road (Lyman Street) passed a man standing at a point where the road bridges over a railroad track. Shortly after she passed him, she realized that he was chasing after her. When she turned to confront him, he ran away toward Talbot road. She later recalled seeing a small dark car turn down talbot road.
That same day, While police were Investigating the incident, a second caller reported that she too was jogging that same day, alone near Chauncey Lake, near the area of the first incident. She ran by a small dark car parked along the road with its hood up. A short time later two males in this car pulled up beside her (some sources reported the car was circling her). She ran and was able to get away.
The northboro and Westborough incidents were apparently related (both occurred near the border between the two towns), and a composite of a suspect was generated. He was believed to be a Hispanic male approx 5'8". In his 30s.
Relevance to VM case?:
Consider:
Brazen attack during daylight hours
Lone female joggers in each of the 3 incidents
Lyman st jogger was along a wooded stretch of road. Presumably the Chauncey lake victim was in a similar area, though I can't find specific info
The scenes and VM's location are 28 miles apart- 40 mins drive.
All towns involved are relatively well-off, similar demographic. (Though Princeton is probably nicest)
Both the northboro/Westborough locations and the VM cart path are precisely 30 mins from Main Street Worcester.
Car reportedly involved in the crime
