Bonola frequented an Austin coffee shop in Forest Hills where he allegedly used to leave “creepy” love notes for baristas. Female workers were so fearful at his advances that they called cops on him multiple times. “He would come up to us and ask for coffees and tell us that we looked pretty and make comments about how we look,” former barista Oliwia Pikulinski, 21, told New York Post. “He was creepy, he stalked people… It was known. Everyone knew he was a weird individual, especially in the Starbucks on Austin Street."
Bonola would visit the shop several times a week and order the same items -- a dark roast pour-over and a lemon loaf or banana nut loaf. “He even went as far as proposing to two of us, which is super unsettling because of how weird the interactions were,” Pikulinski claimed. The killer would often give love notes and pieces of jewelry to female workers, asking them to be with him.
Bonola once allegedly wrote a letter and put it in the tip jar for one of Pikulinski’s coworkers, going to the extent of writing her name on the headphones he wore while sitting in the cafe “facing us towards the register,” Pikulinski said. The Richmond Hills resident, who works as a heating and air conditioning repairman, allegedly ask staffers “personal questions” such as their ages, birthdays, where they lived and went to school. “It was personal information that a customer should never ask,” Pikulinski said. “I’m speechless that it was him after all the creepy incidents that happened and how unsettling he made everyone feel, especially the females I worked with and even the customers in the lobby. It’s crazy to think about.”

If true, how could that mom have chosen him?
well maybe we’ve misjudged her....maybe it was a love “affair” in his mind only....happens....
I think she should be given the benefit of the doubt.......she certainly can’t defend herself!
What’s creepy about the guy?
His behavior is perfectly normal in Mexico, in fact, it’s expected and respected.
That’s what their “culture” is like. A Macho doesn’t take no for an answer, and never gives up.
Hyper masculine? Ovebearing? Crude?
Correct on all accounts. That’s what it’s like.
Did he kill the woman because she resisted his advances?
In Mexico that’s a crime of passion and he’s a real macho for taking her down after humiliating him. A bit of a deal, but not a big one. A roll of cash can fix the situation. Or her husband can man up and kill him. Either solution works.
That’s why he was so matter of fact in his confession to the cops. To him, he’s a real man for doing it.
Age difference, a 50 year old thinks a 40 year old is a stud, a 21 year old thinks he’s a creep? A liberal who thinks Mexicans are more noble and virtuous than the rest of us?
Easy pickins’ for both. He gave attention, she needed it...
Possibly
The young women found his comments creepy, but maybe the older woman was flattered.
I think you’re reading a lot into this.
He may have acted very differently with a woman for whom he was working and with whom he was more acquainted - especially if she was ‘welcoming’.
And why do you think she somehow thought he was ‘noble and virtuous’?
That is likely the most correct answer. Husband probably was working hard, and not paying attention to his lovely wife. Horndog contractor looking for action.
I knew right off it was either the husband or a scorned lover.
"pieces of jewelry"
