"We don't know if this was a random act.We are asking residents of Princeton and surrounding areas to use an abundance of caution."
Early said there was "nothing at this point" connecting Marcotte's death to the unsolved slayinglast week of Karina Vetrano, a female jogger in Queens.
Princeton Police Chief Michelle Powers said this was the town's first homicide in nearly 30 years.
Marcotte worked as a healthcare account manager for Google in New York City since January 2015, according to her LinkedIn page. She graduated from Boston University in 2011 and worked at Wordstream and Vistaprint, two Massachusetts marketing companies, before moving to New York.
Family members in Massachusetts declined comment when reached by the Daily News.
"We've had enough sadness," said one, who said she is 94 and did not give her name.
