Part 2 in my Remembering Our Fallen posts. During last year’s Red Umbrella Day event I picked Nicole Piacentini from the jar of names to read aloud. While researching her name I was surprised to see a man had already been arrested and charged. Let’s hope this means Philadelphia sex workers will now be safer.
From NBC Philadelphia:
Charges Approved in Kensington Strangler Case
“Charges were approved Wednesday night for the arrest of Antonio Rodriguez, the alleged Kensington Strangler, for the murders of Elaine Goldberg, Nicole Piacentini and Casey Mahoney.
The 22-year-old alleged rapist and murderer would face a judge later in the night for charges including murder, rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and abuse of corpse, police said.
DNA links Rodriguez to the murders in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia.”

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said that he also confessed to other crimes.
“He spoke about others but we’re not confident if those are actually homicides or just sexual assaults,” said Ramsey.”
