Craigslist Killer Philip Markoff

Twenty two year old Philip Markoff is an unlikely suspect. He's a "clean-cut, 6-foot-tall blond man" and a second-year Boston University medical student who's engaged to be married. But Markoff used Craigslist to find his female victims. Luckily he has been caught and charged because it sounds like he was just getting started.

Philip Markoff is accused of fatally shooting masseuse Julissa Brisman, 26, at a Boston Marriott Copley Hotel on April 14 and he is also expected to be charged in the April 10 armed robbery and kidnapping of a woman who was tied up at the Westin Copley. He allegedly bound her with plastic cord. Both women had advertised personal services on Craigslist.

A man who identified himself to the newspaper as Markoff's former stepfather, expressed his shock. "He's a great kid. I can't believe what's going on," said the man who identified himself only as Gary (and is divorced from Markoff's mother). "He's a very bright, intelligent, articulate guy. I just keep thinking there must be some mistake."
