NYPD Search for Ivy League attorney, 33, who 'beat girlfriend, 27, to death'

Danielle Thomas

An abusive boyfriend, so brazen that he threatened his girlfriend in a cellphone call while she was at a police station getting a restraining order — is being sought for her murder, authorities said.

The body of Danielle Thomas, 27, a senior financial analyst at Weight Watchers, was found Tuesday night in the Astoria, Queens, apartment she’d previously shared with Jason Bohn, 33, an Ivy League-educated lawyer.

She’d gone to the 114th Precinct station house on June 7 to report that Bohn had severely beaten her, punching her in the face and torso and leaving her bruised and bloody.

“It’s war!” Bohn bellowed in his call, the sources said.

“I’ll dedicate my life to hunting you down like a dog in the streets,’’ Bohn raged. “I am going to make your life impossible.”

She was granted the order, but tragically it could not save her.

Police believe Bohn has fled the state, sources said.

Bohn, a who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Columbia University and a law degree from the University of Florida, met Thomas at a football game in Florida, her heartbroken mother told The Post yesterday.

“She was my only child and my mother’s only grandchild. She was really enjoying New York. She loved her job and they loved her,” said Jamie Thomas Bright from her mother’s home in Danville, a small city of 16,000 in central Kentucky where Danielle was raised.

The family had only recently met Bohn, when Danielle invited them on a cruise to the Caribbean — and noted that he seemed overly possessive.

“On the cruise a couple of months ago we noticed he was very, very jealous,” said Juanita Hardgrove, Danielle’s grandmother.

“Danielle called me Nana, and she was my only grandchild. She was a straight-A student, at the top of her class in high school and in college.

“She studied hard for years and years. She was just beautiful inside and out. She loved her school, loved people.”

Bohn, who claims on his LinkedIn page to have worked as a contract attorney or consultant for several major financial firms, had been charged with misdemeanor assault for the beating and aggravated harassment for the cellphone threats.

The tragic victim also told cops at the 114th Precinct station house on the day she filed her complaint that she’d gotten threatening e-mails from Bohn earlier that day, calling her a “whore” and “f--king moron” and warning her to stay out of the apartment.

Thomas was found beaten to death after a friend called cops asking that they check on her.

The couple had moved to the Astoria apartment only recently after living together in Winter Haven, Fla.

Neighbors said Bohn had a history of beating Thomas — but she had refused to split up until he moved out after she got the order.

“He used to beat her all the time. I’ve heard her screaming and crying, and so have many of the other neighbors,” said one neighbor who asked not to be identified by name.

“He would scream at her and tell her to get out.

“She would say, ‘Where would I go? I have nowhere to go!’ ”
