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

[inmyhumbleopinion]

“PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – The car that police say had the body of Jassy Correia in the trunk had a stolen license plate out of California.

[SBM]

According to a spokesperson for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, the license plate on the car Coleman was driving when he was pulled over in Delaware last week was affixed with a license plate that was reported stolen in April 2017.

‘The California DMV received an application for replacement of the stolen plate on April 17, 2017,’ spokesperson Artemio Armenta told WFXT in Boston.

Armenta said the plate was stolen from a vehicle owner in Sacramento County, and it had been on a Subaru. Coleman was driving a Buick when he was arrested.

Coleman’s Facebook page says he started a job as a ‘systems engineer’ at Raytheon – a defense contractor in Portsmouth – in 2017 (the same year the plate was stolen).

[SBM]

Target 12 also reported that Providence police visited his apartment in February 2018 – one year before Correia went missing – because he was hearing someone knock at his door.

Police told Coleman there was nothing they could do unless he felt threatened, according to a dispatcher’s log.

The article has been updated with a correction:

“Correction: Officials in California initially told Boston 25 News the plates had been stolen in 2017. However, officials clarified to say the application for replacement plates was filed in 2017 and the plates were actually reported stolen in 2016. This story has been updated.” (BBM)

NEW: In court motion, the head of the Federal Public Defender's Office in Boston is asking that Louis Coleman is provided with two lawyers, including one “learned in the law applicable to capital cases.”

Do we know who the Buick belongs to? This is a crazy development!

I was under the impression California has strict inspection and it's annual? As is registration? So wouldn't these plates be out of sync with any stickers on the vehicle? Seems like an even bigger potential risk to drive around with old plates. Someone would eventually notice...Right?

Coleman is very hard to understand....

That means they think it might be a DP case I guess?

I feel like he usually drove with his own plates and kept these pinch hitters for when he was doing nefarious things.

This (BBM) is probably what prompted the reporter with Boston 25 to contact the California DMV:

“Walmart video captured images of Coleman and the red sedan. Research on the plate number showed it was a 2016 Buick registered to his mother in California. A footnote on the affidavit says ‘The California registration plate number is known to law enforcement.‘“ (BBM)
Federal charges could bring death penalty in kidnapping case

Here is a screenshot of page 6 of the arrest warrant affidavit with the footnote at the bottom of the page:



Also, the following article and the affidavit both state:
“... Coleman does not have a vehicle registered to his name ....”

It's two years if they were stolen in 2017.

Thanks! And now, it’s been changed to 2016! This dude might have been cruising around throwing these plates on the car if/when he was doing nefarious activities...for 3 years!!! This will be interesting to see if he’s got past victims.... JMO.

Exactly what I thought, too. He certainly fits the bill for DP.

Yes, he does and I hope he gets it.

That's what the perp in the Closs case did - switched license plates.

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

When it comes to Bundy, he may not have been completely careful, but he had a lot of things working in his favor from a technological standpoint amongst other things. In the 70s, there weren't surveillance cameras on every street corner and store front. There wasn't license plate readers and such at toll booths. Also, in the 60s and 70s, hitchhiking was a much more acceptable practice then it is these days. MUCH more acceptable. If you took Ted Bundy (even with his good looks and his ability to smoothly talk his way through most situations) and dropped him smack dab in 2019 in his "prime murdering years" (if that's such a thing), I highly doubt that he would be able to commit one murder without becoming a pretty instant person of interest and most of that would all stem from technology/surveillance advances over the years.

I totally agree with this. It would be tons harder to be a serial killer these days with the technology.

O/T I like your quote! I just got around to watching Westworld. Not quite finished w/season 1 & I really like it!

Thanks! It's always nice to find a fellow Westworld fan. All I can really say without spoiling things is that once you finish Season 1, please start watching Season 2 ASAP. It's so great. I swear, it's like a really good book sometimes in that it's hard to put down. Ed Harris is so amazing in his role.

That's an interesting theory!
