My daddy always told me that nothing good happens after midnight and this is definitely the case in the Jeffrey Locker situation. As I suspected when I first read about this murder, it appears that the hooker he was planning to visit was involved. It seems that around 3 a.m., after Locker purchased condoms at a local deli, he made a call to a woman that he apparently saw a regular basis. It seems she drew her to him to Paladino Avenue where two accomplices were waiting. Police believe one of the men got in the back seat and the other the passenger seat, the guy behind him slipping a cord round Locker’s neck and holding him immobile while they tortured him to obtain his ATM PIN number. They then stabbed him to death, leaving him in his car, where he was found around 11:30 a.m.
Shortly thereafter, the images of a male and female were captured on video cameras as they made seven $200 cash withdrawals from Locker’s account at various ATM machines. The woman may also have been caught on another surveillance camera in the area of the crime scene.

It has been said many times that a cop’s best friend is the criminal, simply because most of them aren’t that bright. Let’s see, they’ll never find out about the phone call and snatching money from ATMs is no problem. Yeah, we can pull this off. Maybe get a few hundred bucks and have a little fun. What the hell, no one will ever know we did it. Do these people not watch CSI or the news?

Pretty sad, on so many levels.

When the Locker case is done on Law & Order, the killing will at first look like simple robbery but really be a contract job by the financier.
