A New Jersey-based profiling team that helps law enforcement bring serial killers to justice released a profile yesterday of the man they believe is responsible for killing five prostitutes known in the Main South area of Worcester and dumping their bodies in wooded areas in Central Massachusetts and Maine.

The profilers believe that besides a penchant for pornography, a constant in most serial killer cases, the Main South Woodsman has a history of assaulting women and most likely has assaulted some prostitutes.
