The Worcester District Attorney's held a press conference Thursday afternoon, saying they have determined Marcotte's killer was a man who likely suffered injuries during a struggle.

The New York City woman disappeared Sunday while on a jog. Marcotte, a Boston University graduate and an account executive at Google, was visiting her mother in Massachusetts when she went missing.
