A few hours having buying condoms in a Harlem deli, the body of a motivational speaker from Long Island, New York was found strangled and stabbed in his car.

Fifty-two year Jeffrey Locker was found with his hands tied behind his back and a cord wrapped around his neck and tied to the headrest of his car and stabbed in the chest when police found his body in East Harlem on Thursday.

Witnesses said they saw Locker around 3:00 a.m. when he parked his car on Second Ave near Wagner Houses and then walked into a nearby deli where he purchased the condoms.

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

Investigators suspect there were two killers in Locker’s 2007 Dodge Magnum, one in the backseat with the cord and one in the front passenger seat with the knife.

Locker was reported missing by his wife, Lois, Wednesday night when he did not return to his Long Island home.

She said 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.”

New York police are checking to see if Locker had regularly visited a prostitute in the Wagner Houses.

Last April, the father of three and a motivational speaker who ran “life fulfillment” workshops and published self-help books, was sued as an investor who profited from a $300 million decade-old Ponzi scheme run by Lou Pearlman, the former manager of the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync.
