Motivational Speaker Jeffrey Locker Found Dead

52-year-old motivational speaker Jeffrey Locker was found in East Harlem on Thursday strangled and stabbed in his car, hours after he was seen buying condoms.

Locker’s hands were tied behind his back and a cord was wrapped around his neck and tied to the headrest.  Police sources say had been stabbed in the chest and robbed.

Investigators are suspecting that there were two killers in his 2007 Dodge Magnum in the Wagner Houses, one hiding in the backseat with the cord and one in the front passenger seat with the knife.

Teens in the area say they saw Locker park his car on Second Ave. and walk into the nearby Wagner Deli about 3 a.m.

Whitney Young, 19, says:

“He got out of the car and bought a bottle of water and a pack of Trojan condoms. He seemed cool, relaxed.  The next time we see him, he’s here dead.”

Cops say they are in the process of checking to see if Locker had regularly visited a prostitute in the Wagner Houses on Wednesday nights.

Locker’s wife, Lois, reported him missing Wednesday night after he did not return to his Valley Stream home.

She told police:

“He was going into the city and coming home. He was supposed to be coming home. He was supposed to come home. He wasn’t there by choice.”

It’s unclear why he was in East Harlem.
