GUILTY MA - Jassy Correia, 23, last seen at club Venu, phone shut off, Boston, 24 Feb 2019 *arrest*

[Beekarina]

The fact that he dragged her down the hall at just before 5am totally freaks me out! I have taken my dog out at that time of morning for years. I shudder to think what he would have done had a single woman come down the hall to take her small dog out. I’ll be holding my taser extra tight for a while...
WHAT was he thinking doing that?!

I wondered the same thing!

Even if dogs aren't allowed in his building, there are neighboring buildings which likely have them. And plenty of people head to the gym at 5am. (Not me that early lol, but walking the dog clutching coffee? Yup!)

I believe this is the “mutilation of a dead body” charge Coleman is currently facing out of RI:

“TITLE 11
Criminal Offenses
CHAPTER 11-20
Graves and Corpses
SECTION 11-20-1.1


§ 11-20-1.1. Mutilation of dead human bodies – Penalties – Exemptions.

(a) Except as provided in this section, a person who dissects or mutilates a dead human body is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than three (3) years, or a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000), or both.

(b) This section does not apply to:

This is very scary to me because if he didn’t sexually assault her then he either intended to but killed her first OR he just wanted to kill her. It appears he did not know her so he just wanted to kill someone. That’s terrifying because it was just random. This is the stuff of nightmares.

I’m up at all hours if my dog needs to go out. Usually, it’s 4:30-5:30am. And you’re right! People DO go to the gym that early. Heck, some people have to leave that early for work. And some are getting home from night shift work. It’s a really busy area with a large population. The fact that nobody encountered him then is like a miracle! I live in a much smaller apartment building, and you encounter people up running errands, taking pets out, battling insomnia, leaving for/coming home from work, etc at all hours of the night. I’d imagine someone would’ve screamed like crazy if they’d ran into him dragging a half clothed woman. That might have kept him from going after them, too, but who knows! Sadly, I doubt Jassy was alive then for someone to have saved her from his evil clutches. (I just woke up a bit early to take my dog out. I was all freaked out peeping out my door, then peeping off the elevator!) I’d say he’s completely insane to be so brazen, but I don’t think he is. A deeply hateful nefarious person, but not insane. jmo

 

[Beekarina]

OR....he really IS/was having some sort of break. I can't discount his earlier call to police about the "continuous knocking" and " being afraid ". It sounds really wacky.

From the interviews I've seen, his neighbors all look pretty normal, and it seems he lived on the top floor(?) of a very nice building, so WHO would have been out knocking on his door that was "scary"? Didn't he have a peephole???

I'm not saying g he's insane, but I'm genuinely curious about his state of mind. Aside from the actual crime itself, he did some seriously weird things.

 

[Kadoober]

I wonder if LE has gone back to the day of his call about the continuous knocking to see if anyone was actually there?

His crime seems so poorly executed that I can see some sort of 'break', but on the other hand it is so methodical. He entered his apartment with a likely dead woman, and then appears to have calmly gone about gathering what he needed to dispose of her. Doing goodness knows what in the meantime. He had her in his place for what, 3 days? During which time he goes shopping for items to disguise the smell, to facilitate dismemberment and removal from his home. He removes computers from his home. This all feels very 'cold' to me, quite the opposite of a mental break.

We know he doesn't lack intelligence. And yet while he took these steps to dispose of her, it seems every move he made was easily trackable.

Was this something he had been fantasizing about for a long time? Did the opportunity present, and he went off to purchase the items he knew he would need? Or did he come home, freak out, google what he needed to buy? Dump the computers to try and rid himself of that evidence as well?

If he's not stupid, and he's not crazy, what the hell is this guy? SK in training? I can't piece any sense out of this... from his POV.

I’m right there with you. I almost wonder if he’d been having fantasies of killing someone but hadn’t planned to and the opportunity presented itself and it didn’t go as his “fantasy” projected it would. So he freaked out, made a bunch of fumbles, and was just generally disorganized.

Imo this is the most plausible scenario for me to believe.

 

[happyday]

I’ve been thinking about this—whether his being so brazen makes him insane or stupid or inexperienced or whatever. But really it seems a lot of stranger/serial type killers have also been pretty brazen and just got lucky for a while.

I mentioned Ted Bundy earlier b/c a few things reminded me of him like the education, ambition and generally seeming normal so he’s on my mind....So Ted Bundy wasn’t all that careful either. He once abducted two women from the same festival at different times on the same day. Like he went BACK to the same place he just abducted and killed someone from. Tons of people saw him and his car and apparently he introduced himself that day with his real name. Not careful!
Also he was known to drag bodies all around places too, moving them from buildings to his car etc. Not careful at all! There just weren’t cameras back then.

Not trying to over-do the TB comparisons—just pointing out that IMO serial killers aren’t always really very smart about hiding what they’re doing. People just never expect that kind of thing and I think they just do their thing and get lucky until and if they’re caught.
If this guy wasn’t a serial killer already I think he might have been one in the making. Ugh. Poor Jassy. She was just living her life and this psycho monster stole her future from her. I am SO relieved this monster was caught.
MOO

We posted sort of the same thing at the same time! Lol.

 

[happyday]

dragging a body around the apartment complex... really? he had to be aware of the cameras. just strange. also, can't help but wonder what he said to JC that got her to leave with him after just a few minutes. Do we know what the victim did to earn an income?

I really wonder what he said to Jassy on the street as well. Was he charming? Needed help? Offered a ride and seemed like a “nice guy”?

She was probably killed fighting off his sexually assault.

Right, I'm thinking it was most likely an offer to take her home and she was most likely a little tipsy and tired and couldn't see his creep factor. What happened next...I hope we find out. I get the feeling he was rejected by woman often. Perhaps, he tried to put the moves on her, and she just wasn't having it. I have another thought as well, but will reserve that thought for the time being.

 

[Beekarina]

Do we know with certainty she was deceased at 4:15 am? I know they said BODY in the conference. I'm just wondering if she may have been unconscious vs deceased? Has anything been released to confirm a time/date of death? Or just that mention of him carrying in her body?

I'm trying to make sure she was in the apartment deceased for 3 days vs possibly alive but gravely injured for part of the time. It's all SO weird.

My gut says that she was incapacitated but not dead. Various articles said that she was found with blood on her face but the surveillance videos don’t mention it. I would think if they could deduce the colour of piping on a suitcase, that they could tell if her face was bloody?

My guess is they had met either earlier inside the club at some point, or as another poster mentioned, they might have been acquaintance s her friends were unaware of. Jassy was employed as a hostess at a very nice restaurant, so she likely met a lot of people through her job.

 

[Kadoober]

I swing back and forth on whether she was alive or not when LC got back to his apartment. It's the blanket that bothers me.
I think maybe he left her in the car to get the blanket because she was deceased and he was uncomfortable carrying her (I know that sounds nuts)
But then I think it's more likely that he got the blanket so he could put her on it to drag her.

It's also crazy to me that he didn't bother fixing her top before bringing her inside.
Also - all of it is crazy to me so I'm pretty clueless about all of it at this point.

First, I believe the reporter meant to say “... documents out of Rhode Island show Coleman is ...,” instead of out of Delaware.

To the best of my knowledge, he is not facing any charges in Delaware at this time. He does face “charges in Providence of kidnapping, refusal to report a death with intent to conceal a crime and mutilation of a dead human body.”
Man suspected of kidnapping 23-year-old Jassy Correia facing federal charges

But during the press conference yesterday, the federal prosecutor said that the body had not been dismembered or mutilated, so I will try to find out what the state statute says. Also, now that he has been charged at the federal level, the state prosecutor may dismiss those three charges, IMO.

I was able to find some information on the federal case on the website of the US District Court for Massachusetts:

@inmyhumbleopinion , while yes, I do agree that the majority of charges in relationship the kidnapping and murder would be housed in the RI/MA courts. Am I wrong in assuming that due to their being a high speed chase (or at least what I have seen reported in some places) on I-95 in Delaware that there would have to be some sort of felonious (at worst) traffic violations in the state of DE. The State Police are the kings of the roadways around here and deal with all crimes taking place on state roadways. I have seen where high speed chases where an offender bumps into a police officer's cruiser, and the police have used that action to charge them with attempted battery (or even attempted MURDER) of a law enforcement office.

This is all just MOO, as my knowledge on court systems is a tad lackluster. I know a guy who was on probation for theft in the state of Delaware. While he was on probation, he stole my Debit card from my mailbox and rang up over $900 from my checking account. As if that wasn't enough ... the p.o.s stole a letter out of my mailbox from the IRS. He took a picture of the letter with his phone in order to obtain my social security number. He then stole a bunch of pre-approved credit card offers from my mailbox and used them to commit identity theft and open numerous credit cards in my name. He was not the sharpest tool in the drawer, as he listed my home address on all the credit applications, so I received the statements and was immediately made aware of what happened. Apparently, this is what happens when a 32 year old man is addicted to Asian massage parlors/rub-n-tugs.

When I first heard the blanket mentioned, I thought she was alive, but not well? Or he was hiding how intoxicated or drugged she was in case they encountered another resident? If her top was destroyed in the struggle--Did he strangle her with it??--maybe the blanket was to wrap around her top? But then, why not a shirt of his? What happened to her denim jacket with the interesting wings? That's a pretty unusual item.

I wondered so much, and still do, about HER SHOES. Her father said her SHOES were left at her place. (Her friends place?) Was he just upset and confused? Jassy wouldn't walk outside barefoot in the middle of the night at this time of the year willingly.

If he killed Jassy in Boston, why take a topless (?) shoeless body all the way back to your apartment in Providence?? Especially if he's the guy who killed those other women in Brockton and dumped them.

Would surveillance show the windshield cracked on the passenger side PRIOR to 2:15am? Are the cracks related to Jassy?

So many questions!

 

[charminglane]

Maybe the hearing of knocks on the door was a set-up. So he could declare insanity after actually going through with a murder?

 

[inmyhumbleopinion]

"LAWRENCE — Thirteen months before her death, Jassy Correia survived a brutal and potentially disfiguring kidnapping and beating at the hands of her child's father, a Lawrence man who is now serving a state prison sentence related to that January 2018 incident.

[SBM]

Her injuries were so serious that prosecutors charged Castro with the crime of mayhem, the intentional disfigurement of someone, as well as multiple assault counts. Castro was also charged with kidnapping — the same charge now lodged against Correia's accused killer, Louis Coleman III.

[SBM]

There is no evidence at this point to suggest that the two cases are connected. Investigators have said nothing as to Coleman's motive.

Called by mother

On Jan. 14 of this year, Castro was found guilty by a Salem Superior Court jury of kidnapping, witness intimidation and attempting to lie to police, who had gone to his 210 Phillips St. apartment after his own mother called them out of concern for Correia's safety.

[SBM]

Castro was sentenced by Judge James Lang to 4 1/2 to five years in state prison, followed by three years of probation. Among the conditions was that he have no contact with Correia.

The conviction came without the cooperation of Correia, however.

After 152 phone calls from Castro, who was being held at the Middleton Jail, Correia told prosecutors she did not want to testify. Police and prosecutors pleaded with the young woman and even obtained an arrest warrant after she ignored a summons.

According to court filings, Castro had already addressed that subject with Correia, telling her that she'd spend no more than three days in jail for ignoring a summons — a statement she parroted to a prosecutor in a phone call.

Staying in shelter

At the time of her death, Correia was staying in an emergency shelter in Lynn.

Castro is the father of Correia's young daughter, who was born in December 2016.

[SBM]

With credit for the year he spent in custody awaiting trial, Castro could be released in as little as 3 1/2 years from now.
