It has been 18 years since it shook the South Florida community A series of murders The kidnapping in a local commercial center, and the retired FBI agent who has worked in cases for more than a decade that crimes are linked and that the killer may still “there”.
After shopping in Boca Raton Town Center MallThe mother of two Randy Gornberg and Nancy Bouchicio and her 7 -year -old daughter Joy were killed, and another mother known as Jin -Du was kidnapped with her two -year -old son, all within nine months in 2007.
“I heard about them just like anyone else on the news, and it was terrible,” John McCavig, the FBI’s agent, who has been achieved in the three cases for 10 years, told Fox News Digital. “We called the Boca Police Department, knowing that it was something, as you know, we can help.”
Gorneberg, 52, was seen last time on a surveillance video coming out of the Town Center Mall early in the afternoon from March 23, 2007. It is paid from the car. Soon the authorities found the Gurnberg's body in Governor of Luton Chilies Memorial Park.
“It appears to have resisted at some point,” said McVy from Gornberg. “It was shot and the car was mainly thrown while the suspect was moving away.”
Less than five months later, Jane de and her little son They were kidnapped from the parking lot In the same commercial center. Macveigh described the terrible accident when Jane de entered SUVs on August 7, 2007.
“She puts her son by the passengers in the central car seat. She is walking to the trunk,” McVelli said. “She opens the trunk. She puts a stroller. She wanders. She opens the door to reach the driver's seat, the suspect had already jumped in the rear passenger seat. She should be very close to her.”
The suspect forced Jin -Du to drive to ATMs and remove $ 600.
“Just terrified. I mean, she is in the car with her two years old, and this man got a pistol on it and threatens it,” said McVil.
The retired Federal Bureau’s undersecretary added that the perpetrator “seems to be“ somewhat sympathetic ”towards the mother and son. The gunman decided To return them to the commercial center, where he placed swimming swimming glasses on her eyes and restricted her wrists before escaping.
“I took the handcuffs and ascended under her feet out of her back,” McVy said to escape.
“It was flagrant and strange because you don't think someone would judge in the middle of the day – handcuffed, blindfolded – forced to go to the ATMs and then return to the same site and retreat,” he said. “This was not the rule.”
The “dating game” kept the “awards” that eventually led to his fall: the detective
Four months later, 47 -year -old Bochicchio went and her young daughter Joy shopping at the center of Boca Raton on December 12, 2007. As in the event of kidnapping, the authorities believe that they were attacked because they were trying to leave the car park in the commercial center.
Investigators believe that they were kidnapped and transferred to the ATMs, where they were forced to withdraw $ 500 and that the suspect uses adhesive tape, plastic relations, handcuffs, and theoretical dates for linking and monitoring Bochico and her daughter, according to the Boca Raton Police Administration website.
“She resists Nancy. It breaks her handcuffs. We believe that she tried to get an atmosphere out of the car, then turned and shot both of them,” McFelli said.
The officers found that the mother and her daughter had died shortly before midnight in their car in the parking lot at the mall with the continued operation of the car engine, the police say.
Now a private investigator, Macveigh notice a similar topic in all three attacks related to the local commercial center.
“The suspect was trying to control women,” he explained. In both cases of Jane Doe and Bochicchio, the suspect used a pair of wet swimming glasses, as well as other materials, to link and control victims.
McVille said other repeated details was the time of today. All three crimes took place in “daylight” and “almost the same time.”
He added, referring to the relevant details between the cases: “It is not a small coincidence. There is no … two things or two things. This accumulates things,” referring to the relevant details between the cases.

However, the later resolved work squad, and both departments continued to work on individual cases with the assistance of the FBI.

“We have sent agents to the commercial center because they were interested in trying to find out if it might have been a person working there,” said McVelli. “We have issued call notes, and we went from door to door. It was very lands on because you are not aware of the number of people working in this commercial center. I think the number that was done was somewhere in the 14000 neighborhood.”
After her kidnapping, the authorities spoke with Jin de about the individual who attacked her and Step to draw a compound To try to determine his identity.
“You and I can be this compound. I mean, it just you have a hat with glasses and all you see is the bottom of the face,” Macveight explained about drawing details.

Although two people initially interested in the Bochicchio case, according to the police, all three cases remain unlawful, Macveight believes that all crimes are linked.
