Maria Bruno was likely asleep when the killer struck sometime between 2 and 5 a.m. Her arms and hands had defensive wounds as if she fought with her attacker, but at 5-foot 1-inch tall and 95 pounds, she was just no match. The killer stole Maria's last breath and slipped out of her apartment unnoticed. Lillienfeld is deliberately vague on describing her injuries or the weapon that was used, facts only the killer would know.
"Jack the Ripper is a good description," is all Detective Mark Lillienfeld would say. No weapon was found, no fingerprints, no DNA. Maria Bruno had not been raped — the killer had just one thing on his mind: death. Right now Lillienfeld has nothing more to go on; the case has gone cold and he's hoping someone will recognize the killer's composite and call him. His primary suspect was seen several times casing Maria's home and peering in her windows weeks before she died. He's nameless, but not faceless: an olive skinned man with dark hair between the age of 25 and 35 and approximately 6 feet tall. Neighbors had seen him stalking her and provided a composite to police after Maria Bruno died.

Maria once commented to friends "there is a weird guy at my building." About five days before Maria Bruno's death, the man followed her from the parking lot into her home and then exited about 10 seconds later. When asked about it, she told neighbors: "Oh, he's OK." That was the last time anyone saw him.
