Investigators searched on Tuesday for clues in the case of a 27-year-old Google employee who was found slain in woods near her mother’s MA home hours after leaving for a jog, police said. “We would ask people to pay attention to their surroundings”.

Marcotte’s mother reported her daughter missing Sunday night when she failed to come home from a jog around the neighborhood.
Police officials said on Monday they did not know whether her killing was a random act.
A Boston University professor says a Google account manager who was found slain in central MA during the weekend was “remarkably sweet” and knew at a young age what she wanted to do in her career.
Google, based in Mountain View, California, said it was “deeply shocked and saddened” by Marcotte’s killing.
According to the Boston Globe, the information line was launched by state police and local Princeton law enforcement assisting in the homicide investigation being overseen by Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
Neighbors will gather at the city’s First Congregational Church Tuesday for a vigil, CBS Boston reported. Whether this was somehow connected to the previous murder of Karina Vetrano, 30, last week near her home in Queens, N.Y, Early said nothing so far had been found to confirm that.
“That time frame is between the hours of 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. yesterday”, Early said Monday.
Boston University professor Steve Quigley says Marcotte was very interested in search engine marketing when she was a student in his New Media class in 2010.
Authorities, who have had few leads in the Vetrano case, have said there is no evidence connecting the two cases.
“She was kind, very bright and unfailingly gracious”, Quigley said. The authorities are requesting help from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious on the Sunday afternoon of the Google account manager’s murder.
The Massachusetts State Police said they have set up an anonymous tip line and urged anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area Sunday afternoon to call police. “No tip is inconsequential or irrelevant; no matter what it is, please call the tip line, because it may be valuable to investigators seeking justice for Ms. Marcotte”.

Police say they don’t know if the attack was random. The site says she graduated from the Boston University College of Communication in 2011. Previously, right after her graduation in 2011 from Boston University she worked in different marketing companies in Boston before moving to NY.
