I haven't read everything - but i will. Someone here sent me in to read, and it took me forever to work up the nerve.
I'm a sex worker. i was "working" in NYC when this began and bodies started popping up. The company i worked for would not send anyone out that way for awhile but then started to, although they devised a system for safety.
most of these women appear to be backpage and CL providers. If they were with a company, the company wouldn't talk but they also wouldn't send girls out to men that didn't pay. KWIM? I doubt it's regarding a service not being rendered. i'm sure the killer got his rocks off, but probably became creepy and the women trusted their guts and attempted to bolt.
I once had a wise madame tell me "You will get yourself in trouble if you ignore your gut and go with your greed". This is a job. It may not agree with everyone but it is a job. If your bills are due and things are mounting up on you, you may take a client that you didn't screen properly or see people with your rate lowered (aka "specials") you may post on the sites I mentioned verses steering clear of them. it's well known that a bust will happen if you're posting there. it's a chance that some are willing to take due to financial issues.
im going to read through this and see if I can shed some light onto things, if there's any questions for me - i'm open to answering them. (regarding the lifestyle). but typically the type that beat up girls, rape them, even murder - are doing it for ego issues. Anyone that's worked this industry that's had a "John" who's turned on them will all remark that he appeared "normal" but switched gears as soon as the act was overwith. Sometimes they want to pull off the condom, sometimes they don't want to pay and attempt to take the money back (you get your money up front). Sometimes they let you keep the funds but they want to beat you up. After all, to some (and I stress SOME) believe they bought you and can do whatever it is that they want to do. Unless these men are put on blacklisted websites where girls screen - they will continue. i can almost promise you, he's on a list that we all check. I bet you. And the ones that he seeks out don't screen and he can spot the ones that are in a bind for money. He probably trolls the websites and calls around, seems sincere and says the right things. if the woman doesn't ask the certain questions to screen him... he's not booking from a hotel, *IE residential*, uses an alias that sounds legitimate, uses a provider reference that's well known but high volume so she may not remember him... he's in. he may even send a driver.
People like this are not uncommon, murdering is but a "robbing" type is not. Can anyone update me privately if any names were tossed around? I can search lists for it. He's probably started out seeing women on various forums and using sites like eros. he's trolling other sites because people refused him. I'd almost swear to it.
