The laptop of a New York pimp has been seized and searched by the FBI in the desperate hunt for the 'Craigslist ripper'.The FBI have seized the laptop of Akeem Cruz - who is linked to dead prostitute Megan Waterman - hoping to find a record of clients that could lead them to a possible serial killer, a source close to the investigation have indicated.
Cruz, of Brooklyn, is not considered a suspect in the disappearance of Waterman and three other prostitutes who bodies were found strewn last December near the side of a remote highway leading to Long Island's Jones Beach, the official said.
Cruz's lawyer said earlier this week that his client - currently imprisoned in Maine for a cocaine conviction - would have granted permission for a search of his computer.
The U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn declined to comment on the investigation into Cruz's computer.
Authorities say Cruz was one of the last people seen with Waterman, 22, of Scarborough, Maine, last June when she disappeared after travelling to a hotel in Hauppauge, to meet clients for sex. Read More
