You're making huge assumptions. Maureen probably accumulated the $900 from several clients, not one. Most online escorts generally make from $150 to $250 a date (depending on the girl's base price, services rendered, length of time, etc. etc.). Higher end girls make more, of course, but none of our 4 were high end. We have no idea what amount Maureen's last known client offered...that's never been reported.
Weeeelll, technically, they offer about half an hour for $250 often. So $1000 is maybe two and an half hour, big booker rebates included?
We also can't say that Maureen was abducted, in NYC or anywhere else for that matter. In fact, chances are quite high that she went with this client willingly, in order to recoup the days loses that she'd been robbed of. We also don't know for sure that she disappeared from New York Port Authority Bus Terminal...all we know if that she last spoke to friends in CT. from there.
In fact, we can say, it is more likely. She went to a client, fine. She deposited later money. And even if she would have onlt deposited $0.01, at least this would prove, she was alive at this time and free to act as in not abducted. That means, she was okay, after she left that client and that means, he is not the killer. And btw, there is nothing in that story saying the client was at LI at all.
So, Maureen returned to NYC and deposited the money. Later, she makes a phone call from the bus terminal. Which is also in NYC.
Now, we know, she was abducted somewhere. We know, by physical laws, it had to be a place where she physically was. All places, we can prove, she was, are in NYC. So, we have to assume, she found late in the night, another client, who came to NYC and picked her up and this unknown man was the killer. Which is a mystery in itself, because either it was a client, who had already her number or he couldn't reach her ... unless, she found late at night a place, where she could read her latest Craigslist mails. And of course, if the killerclient contacted her that night via Craigslist, he had maybe to wait hours and hours till she found such a place (I am sure, she didn't use the computer of her first client, nor had she time to go through it on her phone while she was there).
See, that is what bothers me. Because all of them were found at LI, everyone assumes, they were killed there, even all forensic evidence we know of indicates already, they were not killed where they were found. But most of the victim's lives played out in NYC. So I can't understand this permanent dismissal of NYC as place to pick up a stalker.
Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, of Norwich, CT., was last seen at a 46th Street hotel.
When Brainard-Barnes disappeared in 2007, Connecticut detectives came to Manhattan and went through her computer.
That is nice, but the more complete report would be, that they looked on every client they found there and none panned out. In other words, the killer didn't contact her via Craigslist. Instead, they found a police officer from Staten Island. Which is btw also NYC. So ... he was checked, he wasn't the killer, they found nothing but a little bit stupidity in renting a hooker (or how do you express that in English correctly?). Technically, we're looking for a killer, not a moron about to catch a STD.
My suggestion is, I follow mt theory, you follow yours, we will probably not know in the next ten years anyway, who is right because LE is so slow these days.
