Hackensack, New Jersey, 30th January – After admitting in 1988 that he had murdered a former girlfriend and stabbed another woman, Edwin Snelgrove wrote to a New Jersey judge about violent sexual fantasies that started when he was a second grader. He described images of strangling or hitting a woman on the head, carrying her limp body to a bed and ‘arranging her arms and legs in some kind of seductive pose’.
Mr Snelgrove, now 41, was sentenced that year to 20 years in a New Jersey prison as part of a plea bargain. He served 11 years, was considered a well-behaved inmate, and was freed in 1999 and returned to his parents’ home in Berlin, Conn.
Now he is back in jail, charged Thursday with the attempted kidnapping and assault of a woman who the Hartford police say he tried to pull into his car last September. The police say they have also searched his parents’ home and his car in connection with the death of a different woman, Carmen Rodriguez, 33, who vanished in September after dancing with him in a Hartford bar. Her body was found Jan. 6 in Rhode Island. The New York Times online article 31st January 2002
