In addition, Racicot testified that shortly before Prior's death at around 7 p.m., a suspect matching Romine's description attempted to kidnap a woman at knifepoint, speaking English. The suspect evaded capture. From there, Racicot discovered that Romine had lived in Montreal and Longueuil at the time of Prior's killing.

He was not incarcerated at the time of the murder, Racicot testified, and committed a rape in West Virginia in 1974.
