Seattle Massage Parlors: Guilty verdict in slaying of Kent mother
Friends of the slain woman told detectives she was afraid of a man named “Randy” — who police determined to be Connor, an ex-convict who had participated in a prison riot while serving time in California.
Connor and Lorentson had been dating off and on since 2005, according to court documents. Connor’s family told investigators they had broken up shortly before she was killed.
Lorentson told a friend that Connor had handcuffed and assaulted her, and asked her friend to call the police if she fell out of touch ” ’cause that means something is wrong.”
Ultimately, though, it was a series of phone records obtained with search warrants helped prove Connor was at Lorentson’s home the night she was killed.
Connor denied being at Lorentson’s apartment, claiming he’d spent the evening at a Seattle erotic massage parlor. But, according to prosecutors, Connor’s cell phone had connected with cell towers near the woman’s home around the time she was killed.
