The sicko lawyer suspected of beating his girlfriend to death in Queens used her cellphone to send her friends several texts pretending to be the dead woman hours after she was killed, The Post has learned.
Jason Bohn — who was busted last night in White Plains and charged with murder, criminal contempt and evidence tempering — sent a text to one of victim Danielle Thomas’s contacts early Sunday morning after her friends expressed concern over her well-being, a source said.
“Please trust me,” Bohn, 33, wrote in the text. He write that Thomas was “fine,” and even pretended that she was attending the gay-pride parade.
Thomas’ friends said the messages from the Weight Watchers exec’s phone included words and phrasings that Thomas never used, the first source said.
“She never talked like that,” the source said. “That’s something he’d say.”
Sources said that Thomas, 27, was already dead when the messages went out and that Bohn kept her body on ice in their Astoria bathtub until cops found it on Tuesday night.
A guilt-ridden Bohn also used Thomas’s phone to confess by voice mail to an ex-girlfriend that he “got drunk” and killed Thomas by pushing her against a wall, another source said.
He said he “panicked” and put his dead girlfriend in a bathtub full of ice — which he later also told police.
The Medical Examiner’s Office yesterday determined Thomas died from strangulation and blunt-force trauma to her torso.
Bohn was arrested last night at about 8:30 p.m. at a White Plains diner by the NYPD, sources said. He was taken to the 114th Precinct station house.
The details of the arrest were not clear, but he was with his lawyer, who had reached out to cops to negotiate his surrender. It had been thought that he may have fled to Florida, where he attended law school and met Thomas at a football game last fall, sources said.
Thomas’s death came about three weeks after she filed an assault complaint against Bohn with 114th Precinct police.
