On September 8, Marin’s body was discovered at the Manhattan Broadway Hotel in the Garment District, cops said. Both women were naked when they were found.
Joseph Danclair has been identified as a person of interest in the deaths of a 35-year-old woman in July and a 43-year-old woman earlier this month, according to the NYPD.
Neither woman’s body showed signs of sexual abuse and the deaths are under review by the city medical examiner, Boyce said. In both cases during the stays, when someone from the hotel knocked on the door because time was up, someone inside cracked opened the door and handed cash through the opening, without ever showing his face.
He is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds, with short black hair and brown eyes.
Officials say Danclair has more than 20 prior arrests including, drugs, kidnapping and robbery. He has a tattoo of two praying hands on his right upper arm and a tattoo of a rose on his left upper arm, reports the station.
