I'm snipping part of this profile down to focus on the one part I do take issue with. IMO mraccountant contextualized the intent of this profile well but there is an assumption in in the STALK profile that I have seen echoed that I want to mention.
I agree that sex workers who are not NYC metro area natives would be more vulnerable to a SK but IMO it is not simple naivety or lack of vigilance. IMO a sex worker from another area, in some cases estranged from their family (JT) will be much more at risk simply because they do not have any support. Their pimp, if they have one, may be the only one they have in the city and the pimp may take advantage of that. I do not think that all of the LISK victims were naive. Yes, leaving their phones behind was a risk that cost some their lives but they didn't all do that. IMO the risks a sex worker is willing to take has more to do with their circumstances and experience level than hometown. Some NYC born and raised sex workers may take very dangerous risks if they are in a desperate situation. A sex worker new to the industry from anywhere will also be much more vulnerable than one with substantial experience. I'm pointing this out not so much to pick a bone with this particular profile but just to bring this particular element to light.
The updated Long Island Serial Killer - STALK PROFILE
A possible pattern could be emerging after the identification of the Long Island Serial Killer's five victims. The five victims were all from out of town, and none were New York City metropolitan area natives.
Usually, born or bred NY City Metro escorts are extremely cautious and very vigilant of their surroundings, and would be skeptical of a fast talking John who may want to do them harm. I don't think this killer would have had an easy time getting NY City born or bred escorts to meet him alone without someone watching over them. We believe that this could be part of this predator's trolling philosophy. If the girls are from out of town, and recently coming to NY, they would be more naive and trusting of a sweet talking killer.
