Alemany had been arrested and convicted numerous times for car thefts and at least two assaults, including stabbing the driver of a car he threw a stone at. He also has kicked a nurse and a security officer in a hospital. He had served multiple jail sentences and had only been released months before in March 2012, though officials believe the sentences were reasonable. He was not arrested in September 2012 when he strangled a woman who gave police Alemany's wallet, but the detective did not follow up and was later demoted.

Lord, 24, a South Boston resident, was beaten, kidnapped, forced to withdraw money from several ATMs and then fatally stabbed on July 23. Her body was left at Stony Brook Reservation in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston

Lord graduated from Minnechaug Regional High School in 2007 and then Bentley University in Waltham. She was working as an online marketing specialist in Boston.

Very similar to this non-fatal January case which looks like a training run for this operation: Ethiopian Bereket Piatt Bank Robber Kidnaps College Student January 23, 2013 In Everett, Washington a female student attending Everett Community College was kidnapped by Bereket Piatt who threatened her with a gun. He demanded she drive her to various locations across Everett, and park downtown, where he robbed a Wells Fargo bank with his gun and the student had to wait, telling her he would track her down from her licence plate and kill her if she fled. He then had her drive back to the original location. She was uninjured and the told the police.

    The two nonfatal attacks on the women occurred early on the mornings of July 23 and July 24. Lord was attacked the morning of July 23, in between the time of the two other attacks.
    Alemany allegedly told the first woman he attacked, “I’m not robbing you. I’m going to kill you,” said prosecutor John Pappas. But after punching her in the face and dragging her by the legs into a parking lot, he said, “You’re not the one I’m looking for. I’m sorry.”
    “I have a hit out for a female pushing a baby carriage walking with a male wearing a white shirt,” he told her, according to Pappas.

    Neither Alemany nor his lawyer spoke in court but defense attorney Jeffrey Denner told reporters afterward, “This is somebody with a long, long history of serious mental illness. ... There is an issue here of whether the system functioned in a way that protected him and protected the public. None of that is an excuse. This is all an explanation and context for what is a horrible tragedy.”
