Investigators say they found Claudio Neves Valente's body in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, after a Reddit post led to a breakthrough in the case.
A witness described seeing the suspect near a rental car in the neighborhood next to Brown, which helped authorities identify Valente and track his movements.

Good morning.
The man's name is Claudio Neves Valente.
He's a 48-year-old from Portugal who reentered the country in 2017.
But a while back in the year 2000, he was actually attending Brown University as a graduate student.
He dropped out after a year.
25 years later, authorities say that he shot up a building that he likely did a lot of his graduate work in.
And the MIT professor that he allegedly killed two days later was a physicist as well.
Authorities say Valente went to university in Portugal with this professor.
And even though they have drawn these connections, they still don't have a clear sense for his motive.
They do know Valente killed himself in a storage locker before investigators even got there, most likely.
