A Google
employee from New York City who disappeared on an afternoon jog while visiting
her mother in Massachusetts has been found murdered in the woods.
Worcester
District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said Monday that 27-year-old Vanessa
Marcotte was reported missing after failing to return from a run between 1pm
and 4pm in Princeton.
Her body was
discovered at around 8.20pm Sunday by a state police K9 unit near Brooks
Station Road, about a half-mile from her mother’s home.
A source told
Fox25 in Boston that investigators were examining the possibility that Marcotte
was sexually assaulted and set on fire, with burns to her hands, head and feet.
Authorities
would not specify how she died but say her death appears to be a homicide. An
autopsy is scheduled.
‘We have a
horrible set of facts, horrible circumstance,’ Early told reporters during a
news conference.
He added that
it was unclear whether Marcotte’s killing was a random act of violence and
urged local residents to remain vigilant and exercise caution
