ANOKA, Minn. (AP) — A man wanted in a string of attacks last year against women in Georgia was charged Friday with killing a young woman in Minnesota whose bloodied body was found hidden in blankets in her mother's towed car.

Alberto Prece Palmer, 23, is charged with one count of second-degree murder in the February beating death of 18-year-old Brittany Clardy. He made an initial appearance Friday in an Anoka courtroom and was ordered to remain in jail on $2 million bail.

"While nothing we do can bring Brittany Clardy back, we can and intend to hold accountable the person who took her life. It is a sad day for Brittany's family and we will seek justice for her," said Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo. "From all the evidence in the complaint, Palmer appears to be a very dangerous man."...............

Authorities in Chamblee, Ga., have issued arrest warrants for Palmer in connection with three attacks in that state — one in September and two in December. In each attack, the assailant hired the women for sex through a website, had consensual sex with them at his apartment, then assaulted them before they could leave. Police believe the assailant had an accomplice in one of the attacks, in which the victim was held captive and raped and beaten for 36 hours............more at link.......


I searched under both names and the Ga. rapes and could find nothing. If there is a previous thread please merge....TIA

Indictment in death of woman found in Minnesota impound lot

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/261929/group/homepage/

I have to wonder what makes these young adults so horribly evil and vicious and dangerous. As newborn babies they were certainly innocent and harmless so what happened between then and age 23 or whatever when they are raping, killing, torturing, etc. Was it born in them? Was it how they were raised? Did society have a part in it? Most important, how can we prevent more young adults from turning out this way and being a danger to society? What is going wrong? It seems to be a combination of things. How can we fix it?

Add another murder, how many until he is considered a serial killer? This guy is bad news.

Woodbury man connected to 2 body-in-car cases

Alberto Prece Palmer, 24, was charged with first-degree murder in March following the discovery of 24-year-old Brittany Clardy's body in a car that had been towed to a Columbia Heights impound lot in February.

Palmer, who is currently in custody, has now also been named a suspect in the case of a body found in a trunk at a Minneapolis impound lot earlier this month.

The Hennepin County medical examiner identified the body as 24-year-old Georgia woman Klaressa Lorayne Cook. According to the Hennepin County sheriff's office, an odor prompted employees of Wrecker Services to open the trunk of the Lexus in which the body was discovered.

According to her Facebook page, Cook is originally from Athens, Georgia and had been living in Minneapolis.

Police said Palmer is a suspect in her murder but won’t say why.

Palmer is originally from Georgia, as is the latest victim Cook. It’s not clear if the two knew each other in Georgia.

This is one really awful "man".

Brittany Clardy was such a beautiful girl. I tried to find an obituary for her, but couldn't. Her parents did speak out though.

20 years old, bright and beautiful. That is so sad. Too sad.

A 25-year-old man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for a second grisly killing of a young woman.

Alberto Palmer will serve at least two-thirds of the sentence imposed Friday by Anoka County Court for the 2013 death of 18-year-old Brittany Clardy. That's in addition to the minimum of 30 years of a life sentence he'll serve for killing Klaressa Cook, 24... The sentences are consecutive, not concurrent.

New task force focuses on missing, murdered Black women and girls | kare11.com

Lee said she was thankful for the investigators who took on her sister's case, but can't shake the initial response she said her family received when they reported Clardy missing.

"The first dispatcher, someone that we spoke with, said, 'Oh, she's 18. This is something that they usually do. She could come home in just a couple days,'" Lee said.

Before Clardy was found, Lee remembers reaching out to Clardy's friends and scouring her social media looking for answers. She says her family also reached out to the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center for help getting the case exposure.

Moving forward, a new state task force in Minnesota will help families like Clardy's.

Artika Roller, a member of the 13-person task force and executive director of the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault, recalled hearing that frustration from the mother of Brittany Clardy, a Minnesotan who went missing in 2013 and was found murdered two weeks later.

“She (Clardy’s mother) said she actually had to do the work herself when she called to report that her daughter was missing,” Roller said. “She actually thought through, ‘She has a new car. If it’s impounded, maybe the bank will get a notice that the car was impounded.’ So she started calling around saying, ‘Hey, my daughter’s missing, we haven’t found her car yet. It’s Minnesota in the winter. It’s probably been impounded at some point in time.’ That’s how her daughter was found.”

“Having to do the legwork herself; that’s how some of the systems have failed them, getting folks to believe something different is going on here,” Roller said.

Resources historically have not been allocated in a way to allow law enforcement to focus on cases that might take more investigating, said Suwana Kirkland, the executive director for Dakota County Community Corrections.

“The services, the resources, the staffing, is very limited … it’s not because one particular agency chose not to do this or to do that, but it’s staffing, funding, it’s all these things that I believe agencies need to appropriately investigate and look at these cases,” Kirkland said. “Until you have the adequate resources to investigate and to really get out and talk to everyone that you possibly can, you just never know.”
