The 35 year-old woman was found dead on July 23 in Brooklyn’s Bushwick Hotel. Reports said that she was lying face up on a bed and had bruising all over her body.
The NYPD said Tuesday that it’s seeking the public’s help in finding 36-year-old Joseph Danclair of Brooklyn. Both women were found naked.
Sources said the hotel room was wiped clean but Danclair’s fingerprint was recovered at the scene.
Two women are dead in what police believe may be a pattern of summer hotel murders in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
He has more than 20 arrests on charges including drugs, kidnapping and assault.
New York’s chief medical examiner has yet to determine official causes of death for the women.
Danclair is described as 5-foot-six-inches tall and 170 pounds with a medium complexion, short black hair and brown eyes.
Danclair – who has tattoos of a rose on one arm and praying hands on the other – was spotted on video at both hotels.
