I stand with Rose Koske and her husband David Koske. They knew Michael Andrew Nicholaou personally. Rose traveled in his Jeep with him in the summer of 1988. I believe in the information they were eager to share. Connecticut River Valley Serial Murders shared their post.

Rose Koske to Connecticut River Valley Serial Murders
Hello my name is rose koske.i live in saxtons river vt..where one of the conn valley murders happened..linda moore..i moved here in 1993...i want to tell everything i know about michael nicholeau...back in 1988 before i was married i lived in the chicomansett villiage which are now called chicopee townhouse apts i believe...it was my first apt..i went by rose lehenry..i lived with my boyfriend david koske who is now my husband and my son brian who was turning 5 att the time...a new family moved in..michael and michelle nicholeau with their 2 children..a girl joylynn who was almost 2 and a son..i believe if i remember correctly his name was nick..he was just an infant..i befriended michelle..come to find out my husband was related to her by marriage..her mom rose married my husbands fathers brother john koske...we became friends..michael was quite a few yrs older than michelle and from first meeting with him i could tell he ruled her..we would be outside with the kids and if he called she would run to the phone to make sure she didnt miss his calls...we picnicked quite a few times..he was very domineering told us stories of his vietnam days..of why they moved..their house in holyoke burnt down...anyway he was self employed as a drywaller...got a job redoing a condo on mckinstry ave in chicopee ...he hired another neighbor and friend dave howell and then offered me a job cleaning up after them for $15 an hour which was great $ in 1988..i jumped on it..i drove to work with him in his jeep wagoneer..the same jeep in the cover photo..my job was to take the old drywall and throw it out 2nd floor window to a big dumpster..very easy work....i had been working a couple weeks or so and one day michael and david were going to lunch..i stayed behind becuase i brought my own lunch..i was sitting on floor eating when i noticed an open box in a closet..there were no doors on it..nothing else was in the place so i got curious and looked in the box..i was appalled at what i saw...there was a box full of bondage pictures with michael and a variety of different woman. Some were with him clean shaven some with facial hair, some with glasses and some with out. In every photo there was different types of bondage... explicit poses and in most the woman looked scared. i then proceeded to take a few pictures home to show my husband as i was scared, i also showed dave howell and the next day when i went to work the pictures were gone and i wondered if howell had said something to him. Michael acted very different towards me and made me uncomfortable. So i did not go back to work. A few days later they were gone. They moved everything in the middle of the night. Michelles family did not hear from her and knew nothing of her where abouts, never heard nothing more until about seven or eight years ago when i read the keene sentintel and saw a picture of him about the conn valley murders, showed the article to my husband and proceeded to get in touch with lynn marie carty to tell her my story. Nothing has ever been done or no one has ever contacted me as i was told they would. I wonder if them leaving so abrubtly had to do with the incriminating photos i had found. Just makes me happy i wasnt a victim. But wondering why the case was never closed.
You realize none of that is evidence, right? We KNOW MN is a killer and a bad guy. How does a box full of bondage pictures make him the CT River Valley Killer? Where was he when Bernice Courtemanche, Ellen Fried, and Eva Morse were abducted?
By the way, Bernice went missing on a Wednesday, Ellen on a Friday, and Eva also on a Wednesday, with Bernice and Eva's disappearances occurring in broad dayling. What was going on in MN's schedule where he'd be free to drive around Claremont trolling for victims in the middle of the week and why, for that matter, would he have cause to be in Claremont to begin with? You have not told us what connection, if any, he has to that town.
Further, Bernice was last seen getting into a white vehicle with NH plates. MN lived in Massachusetts at the time. Assuming this vehicle is connected to the murder, how could it possibly belong to MN?
You brought up Lynda Moore, who was killed well outside the range of the original crimes and left in-situ, unlike any other attack linked to the CT River Valley Killer, save for Jane Boroski. What makes you so sure her murder was linked? Eyewitnesses describe a much younger POI than MN and local authorities in that case had a suspect who matched John Philpin's initial profile of a disorganized, youthful offender. How does this fit the organized killer or killer operating in Claremont and why did Philpin do a complete 180 and draft a new profile to neatly match the earlier crimes? Was he under pressure from NH authorities? What on earth was going on behind the scenes there?
Do you also believe, like Philpin, that whoever killed Barbara Agnew (MN, by your contention) killed Jessica Briggs in 1989 in Portland, ME? If so, what evidence do you have to place him in Maine on the date in question?
Back to Barbara Agnew, a simple yes or now question: was Michael Nicholau actually on the list of names given by Gary Westover before his death or does his membership in the "Westover gang" have more to with your suggestion that the two *could have* met at a local VA hospital?
And finally, Jane Boroski. For years, she was convinced that MN was her attacker, based largely on interviews you conducted. She has since ID'ed another suspect as being the man who assaulted her in Swanzey. What is your opinion on this? Do you still believe that Jane is a reliable witness? Do you stand by her initial ID of MN even though she's named someone else in recent years?
