State Police have arrested a Worcester man in the killing of Vanessa Marcotte, a jogger whose body was found last August in Princeton, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation.
Police arrested Angelo Colon-Ortiz early Saturday morning, according to the official. He is being held at the Millbury State Police barracks on $1 million cash bail.
Assault charges were filed, said Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early. “I anticipate there will be a murder charge,” he said.
“We’re very comfortable that we’ve got Vanessa Marcotte’s killer,” Early said.

He wouldn't need to speak any English with a snugly-fitting hemp necktie while he was auditioning for the Spandau Ballet...
“If you are familiar with Princeton, it’s wooded and rural, and about half an hour from Worcester which is mostly okay, but some of it is a third world hell hole.”
It would be good to have an armed knight service to escort women to their cars or home. Businesses in the community could offer the sir knights coupons for free appetizers, discounted oil changes or 25% off alterations on a new business suit - or something like that as payment for the service.
Just trying to think out of the box...
“I’m one town over. A lot of people are breathing easier.”
Thank goodness they are breathing easier! I hope the poor darlings did not, for one moment, need to consider the possibility of being able to defend themselves, or even worse, the thought of bloodlust/revenge, normally attributed to right wing idiots.....
Boston is a sanctuary city, right?
She was jogging in broad daylight.....between 1 & 4
They know his status, I would bet!
This was Princeton. Not Boston.
Wasn’t it Worcester?
Isn’t that a sanctuary city too?
My granddaughter runs along the Charles into Boston——I was horrified when I heard of the murder in Princeton-—one more thing to worry about-——and the young woman runner in Brooklyn was murdered shortly after-——also in daylight.
What a world——and it has been allowed to occur.
.
I hear you. I was living in Watertown in 1980.
..........I see attractive women off by themselves jogging on isolated roads all the time. All that needs to happen is some perv who hasn’t had real sex in years to pull along side and the girl/woman is horribly murdered.
Do the girls/women know this and say “won’t ever happen to me” or do they NEVER watch the news, or what? Shaking my head!
It was Princeton. Wasn’t that clear?
I was up and out by 5 AM in the morning for years. Because my father, who was career Navy and had taught me situational awareness and self-defence, I never suffered any attack.
Fathers need to teach their daughters.
Not so surprising, the Ministry of Propaganda always hide illegal aliens when possible. Usually referring to them as “(last address) man”
That answers your questions right there. English is still a requirement for citizenship.
...........lol, mine is 30, gorgeous, CPA, married to a guy that inherited a very successful restaurant chain and who is a George Washington trained uber liberal lawyer by education...........and a complete idiot by habit! At least he hasn’t practiced law for years.
Bottom line, my daughter jogs all the time with her little Labradoodle that is scared of it’s shadow like her husband. These days, she won’t listen to a damn thing I say! She thinks she’s invincible................all 5’2, 115 lbs of her!!!
No, an off-duty state trooper noticed an SUV matching the description, and the driver at a gas station in Worcester. He wrote the plate number down on his hand. The trooper went to his apartment, and when no one answered, he left his business card with a note asking him to call. When he didn't call, the trooper paid him another visit, and asked if he would voluntarily give an saliva sample, which he did. The DNA matched material taken from under the victim's fingernails. Local and state policed arrested him.
Good old fashioned police work.
I think there’s a convenience store in the middle of town. It’s the kind of place where you take an insulated bag to the grocery store when you buy ice cream. It’s thickly wooded, the line of sight in the summer is about 50 feet in any direction once you’re off the road.
This young woman was visiting and out for a jog alone. She never had a chance.
It’s very easy to get an FID or LTC here in central MA.
Glad to hear it. Same here in NY State. The further you get away from the big cities, the more it becomes like the real America............
