Middle Grove is super close.
From what I can tell, his address was within a mile of where her body was found. It's hard to say for sure because I'm not certain exactly where her body was found but it was within 3 miles of Christina's so based on where their two bodies were found and where his address was, I'm estimating within a mile.
 
Hammond was last seen in August 2003 selling magazine subscriptions door-to-door at the Creek and Pines Mobile Home Park on Middleline Road in Milton. That mobile home park is about 1,000 feet north of Barrett Road, where Ross’ 72-year-old mother has lived for about three decades, according to property records.

Hammond was from Littleton, Colo., and had been staying at an Albany hotel with co-workers with Atlantic Circulation Inc., where they had jobs selling magazine subscriptions. They had dropped Hammond at the entrance to the mobile home park around 1 p.m. on Aug. 30, 2003 — a Saturday. She did not show up at their designated pickup location about two hours later.

Most of Hammond’s belongings were at the Albany hotel, and she never picked up a bus ticket she had planned to use to return home to Colorado. She had no further contact with her family and was not reported missing for more than two months, when Atlantic Circulation contacted law enforcement.

Six years after her disappearance, a hunter walking through deep woods near Lake Desolation — less than 10 miles north of where Hammond was last seen — found her remains. All that was left were skull fragments and three teeth, but a State Police forensic analysis confirmed the remains were Hammond’s.

Her death was also ruled a homicide, but Robinson said investigators are declining to release additional details on her suspected cause of death “for investigative reasons.”

Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo has previously said that investigators believe “there is a strong possibility” the deaths of Hammond and White are related to the same unidentified suspect, in part because of the close proximity of the locations where they were last seen and also where their remains were found.
 
“There’s no, like, hot lead that says he’s our guy or anything like that.”

But Robinson said the department was probing any “association [Ross] has with any major case in the area” as part of a “standard investigative step.”

“And that is something that we are actively working on,” Robinson added.

The Hammond and White cases, which authorities have long said are likely linked, have been under investigation ever since the two young woman vanished in 2003 and 2005, respectively, near mobile home parks in Milton — the same upstate town where Ross has lived for decades.

Robinson, whose department is also assisting state police on the Sena case, wouldn’t say if Ross was ever interviewed in connection to the Hammond or White cases.
