NYC- www.nydailynews.com- The gorgeous Manhattan masseuse murdered in Boston by the craigslist killer once worked for one of the city’s most notorious madams, the Daily News has learned.
Two years before Julissa Brisman began offering sexy body rubs online, she reported to “Manhattan Madam” Kristin Davis, the busty bottle blond whose black book is said to be one of the largest in the business.
“She was a good kid, but kind of a nightmare,” Davis told The News on Saturday. “She had a bad drinking problem. We rescued her a couple of times from a bar where she hung out when she was supposed to be working.
“I kept giving her second chances,” the madam added. “She’d come back and promise she was sober.”
Brisman’s friends say she stopped drinking last year and has been attending AA meetings ever since.
Davis insisted that over the year and a half she booked dates for Brisman, the stunning 26-year-old model used the name “Stacey.”
Brisman offered only sensual body rubs and wasn’t selling sex, said the madam, on probation for five years after pleading guilty to promoting prostitution and serving three months in jail.
“She didn’t do escorting,” Davis said.
Brisman’s bullet-riddled body was found inside a luxury Boston hotel room Tuesday.
Cops believe Brisman was lured to the Marriott Copley Place hotel by a cold-blooded killer who may have used craigslist to assault two other women.
The suspect, a 6-foot-tall, clean-cut white man with blond hair, was captured on video as he coolly walked through the hotel lobby on the night Brisman was gunned down.
Cops suspect he also tied up and attempted to rob an exotic dancer at gunpoint in a Rhode Island hotel Thursday night. In that attack, the 26-year-old victim was saved when her husband burst into her room at the Holiday Inn Express and the man fled.
The suspect may also have assaulted a Boston hooker last week, before the Brisman slaying; an attack also targeted via craigslist, cops said.
Such craigslist-fueled violence is no surprise to Davis, who said that several young women who offer sexual services online have come to her with tales of horror.
Some online stalkers even impersonate cops and force the women to hand over their cash in the face of “arrest,” the former madam said.
“If they hit the girls at the right time,” Davis said, “they may come away with $1,000.”
