But you don't think he's one of the two nypd cops named as POI's or the ex SI cop who called her last? How are yo so familiar with his personal views? Does he have a blog, or active on the internet? What Town in LI?
 
One cop was forced out of the job in the 1990s when his supervisors learned he spent time pursuing hookers and paying street walkers and down-and-out women for sex while he was supposed to be on patrol.

"Between April 20 and May 25, Officer Damian Conlon, 38, allegedly was observed entering the Archer Avenue brothel while on duty. An undercover officer who had posed as a patron stated in the complaint that on May 15, while at the brothel, he saw Conlon, who was assigned to bicycle patrol, enter a private room with a prostitute.

The undercover officer also claimed that a brothel employee told him "not to worry about the defendant's presence in the brothel because the defendant was not there to make arrests but to patronize prostitutes."

Conlon, a five-year veteran of the department, was charged with patronizing a prostitute, official misconduct, and receiving a reward for official misconduct.

"It is alleged that while on bicycle patrol and in uniform the defendant . . . routinely visited a brothel . . . where he engaged in sexual intercourse without paying for the services," Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said last Thursday. "The conduct alleged here is truly repugnant to any right-minded person and, regrettably, disgraces the tens of thousands of honest police men and women who wear the shield."

Conlon is currently assigned to the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica, Queens. He has been suspended without pay for a maximum of 30 days and could face up to four years in prison if convicted."

An on-duty bike patrol cop regularly pedaled over to a Queens bordello to have sex with women peddling themselves, police said yesterday. Officer Damian Conlon, 36, a five-year veteran of the force, was arrested for allegedly having sex with a prostitute while on duty.

Damian Conlon matches the description of the first cop who was forced out of the job in the 1990s. Who is..."The other officer still works for the NYPD but was stripped of his gun and badge years ago because he allegedly assaulted a prostitute and got arrested during a sting operation.

The woman complained to police supervisors about the officer but no criminal charges were filed and an internal probe went nowhere, sources said.

The patrolman was allowed to return to the force, they said, though he was placed on modified duty — transferred to a paper-pushing job in Manhattan where he’s not allowed to make arrests or respond to emergencies."

One of these 20 cops?

The keyword are there to find the cop, I feel pretty confident that Conlon is cop 1. Who is Cop 2? YOU find it. Is the SI ex-cop a third cop?
 
Does anyone know what her street name was or what name she used online? She's the only one I can't seem to figure out.

According to Robert Kolker's book Lost Girls she used her mothers name which I believe was Marie.

MBB checked out of her room. She was in midtown. She was trying to get home. How did the killer get her?
 
Maybe Maureen was supposedly robbed for like 900 dollars wasn't she? The thing I don't get is they say the guy who last contacted Maureen was the Staten Island cop...logic dictates the last person to contact her would be her last client, unless she had an arrangement to meet someone beforehand or was solicited on the street. Her sister was pretty adamant that the SI cop was not involved but i'm not convinced

I'm not convinced either. 'Seems easy to think a cop might tell her he'd help her "retrieve/track down" the person who stole her money. (a ruse, of course).


Here's a quote from seaslug (who doesn't think the officer is worth looking into) but... I, of course, disagree

"Meltruth never stated that the Staten Island officer was investigated. Neither did any news article. The only news article that stated that any NYPD officer was ever..."

Somebody involved in the investigation leaked to the press that when they checked Maureen's computer it was discovered that one of the last people to contact Maureen through her Craiglist ad was the police officer from Staten Island.

  • It was never confirmed or denied that he actually called her (it could have been just an email).

This is one of the little side alleys of the case that puzzles me.

I confess I have never seen one of the Craig's List ads. But I thought they gave phone numbers, not email addresses. Am I wrong?

LISK contacts his victims using burner phones; I think we can all agree on that. Online contact carries risk.... I think the problem LE faced was that none of the girls' computers actually had any contact with LISK to be traced.

IDK (just a guess)... maybe Slug meant "text message" not email???

'Gotta wonder Donnelly's source for this report

Also, IIRC... Maureen's sister had her cell phone records... wouldn't there be contact with VIPS (who placed the ads)?

I confess to being an analogue boy in a digital world but wouldn't a text message be on a cell phone not a computer?

Emailing an escort - in my mind - indicates the contact was about sex, not murder.

I'm not saying LISK went to Yale but I think he is smarter than that.

You're probably right. Heck... I can't even remember if "texting" was a thing in 2007.
 
So, did VIPs (and Cruz, in MW's case) have the ability to wipe their computers so clean even the FBI couldn't find anything??

I really can't see Cruz being a techie (just my opinion)
 
Reading back through this thread (some things I'd forgotten), particularly... per MBB's sister, Maureen had already made back the money that was stolen, and had $ to take the train or bus back to CT. I can't remember how this part of the story unfolds in Kolker's book... just remember the "friends" that accompanied her (and some (imo) oddities there).

CL ad's almost always have email attached where you can respond. i'd imagine not everyone is comfortable calling a random escort on their only cellphone (she might call back during dinner with wife). it's probably common for the john to email first than get the number after contact. the girl might not want to put her number in either. although most of the ads ive seen def had numbers and said call only no text

It's been a long time since I read through UG's posts... didn't some of those mention exchanging emails with sex workers posting on craigslist (or am I mistaken)???
 
Yes indeed! exchanging emails with "providers" is certainly a common topic i'm sure, along with exhanging numbers/using burners, etc. I am sure the killer is a ug member
 
Heres the problem with craigslist. An escort uploads an add with her phone #. Its there for all to see. The guys dont have to click on anything to get information. Thats why theres no electronic footprint. A killer might avoid adds where a e-mail response is needed.
 
How did the killer get Maureen? Did he approach her on the street? Did she get a call? Was she also promised alot of money to spend the night? It seems like she let her guard down because she checked out of the hotel.
