BRIMFIELD— State police have released the name and a photograph of the man wanted for allegedly trying to abduct a jogger on Little Alum Road July 21. Robert R. Burno Jr., 54, is wanted on warrants for annoying and accosting and assault by means of a dangerous weapon. The warrants were recently issued by Palmer District Court.
According to a state police news release, Mr. Burno allegedly drove slowly by the victim several times in his black 1989 Plymouth Horizon hatchback before trying to pin her against the guardrail using the car. The incident happened at 12:15 p.m. in a remote section of town. Word of the attempted abduction spread via an anonymous e-mail that alleged the incident was linked to the 2000 case of Molly Anne Bish. Miss Bish was a lifeguard at Comins Pond in Warren. Police believe she was abducted from her post and killed June 27, 2000. Her remains were found three years later on a remote Palmer hillside and the case remains unsolved. State police said last week they have made no connection between the two cases. Detectives from both the Worcester and Hampden County District Attorneys’ offices have been involved in the Brimfield case, spokesmen for the two offices said last week. State Police Capt. Peter J. Higgins, chief detective in the office of Hampden County District Attorney William M. Bennett, praised the victim who was able to provide police enough information to lead them to a suspect. He said at that time the suspect, who had not been identified, was known in the Springfield area.
