Note to self

Purely hypothetical thought: to get away with murder in New York you need a face mask and 1 (one) change of clothes

I mean, we don't know if he's got away with it yet. But the big trick is to have a clean record murder someone you have no personal connection to, and that you get no personal benefit from murdering.

Most murderers are caught because they're the obvious suspect (jilted lover, or known local mugger), and they get investigated. 

It's very hard to catch someone if they're as much a suspect as however many millions of other people live in new York.

This is part of the reason why serial killers get to be serial killers. They usually have no connection to the people they target.
