Phil Markoff and his fiancee met in undergrad at the University of Albany in New York. According to their site, she was a senior at the time and Markoff was a sophomore. The couple volunteered together at a nearby medical center, doing scut work in the Emergency Room. They were engaged in May, 2008 and were set to be married on August 14 this year on the beach next to McLoone's Pier House in Long Branch, NJ.
Could stresses related to a relationship or impending nuptials have set off the so-called "Craigslist killer?" That's just one of many questions people will probably ask about the accused, Phil Markoff. You'd think after much more prolific and evil criminals like Andrew Cunanan and before him, Ted Bundy, that people would learn that violent criminals come in all sorts of packages. Even in the guise of a beefy, blond med student with a GQ smile.
this page, which explains how Markoff and his fellow students were being graded. She posed an excellent question in her email regarding Markoff and his exams: "Markoff took this exam on March 20. And if he failed, could this have been enough of a stressor to trigger his crimes?"
She was shot to death inside Boston's Marriott Copley Place Hotel. They have not released his name, but will hold a press conference later tonight. This post will be updated and revised as further information becomes available.

What amazes me is the lack of TV coverage about this arrest, at least here on the West Coast. Posted 04/20/2009 at 09:37:24 PM Bernie said: I am sure his fiancee is having the worst day of her life.

I know it's circumstantial evidence, but I was around when Ted Bundy was at large killing MY friends and dating someone too -enaged-a law student. All or most of Ted's victims bore similar physical resemblances.

This guy, seemingly the all-American boy is now suspected of being the "craigslist killer." I think this brings the total for five weeks of mass murder to around 60 or more. I feel so sorry for the family of the murdered woman, and the family of the woman who was supposed to marry this guy in August. Man, if you look at those sweet pictures on their wedding site, you be aghast at what is happening now. Posted 04/20/2009 at 10:19:34 PM jojo said: nice job Boston University school of Medicine. As usual you accepted this guy into medical school based on his good looks. Posted 04/20/2009 at 10:38:20 PM J said: Well anyway looks like him in the surv. And I am not too concerned about the girlfriend or her family. She is still alive and this is prolly a blessing in disguise for her and her family god knows what he could have done to her in time. The woman he killed is gone and won't be coming back...... feel sorry for her family not the one who is still breathing. This is a sick world and you really cant trust anyone but yourself. NEVER let your guard down because you might know someone like this.

Posted 04/20/2009 at 11:29:00 PM Jewels said: Do you think he is linked to the missing girl at Albany U? I can't remember how long ago it was that she went missing.. but if he is serial killer then maybe boston isn't the first.

said: You people are horrible and have the facts all wrong about Phil and his life. Your facts are faulty, and you are all quick to pass judgement. Posted 04/21/2009 at 12:10:54 AM mayra said: This incident shocks me to the core. I am a massage therapist and advertise on the therapeutic side of craigslist. I am a certified massage therapist but my family doesn't know I practice because they're snobs. Though my point is that whether the women were offering erotic services or not the media has no right to call them 'hookers,' 'escorts' etc etc. It doesn't matter how educated you are it's a man's world where there is constant objectification even in an office world. I was silly enough to think that once I got My BA I would never have to deal with a condescending man again since I was educated. They say a woman has to be twice as educated as a man to even be considered half as educated a he is. Posted 04/21/2009 at 12:16:25 AM Flashback said: Anyone know which jailed he's being held? Posted 04/21/2009 at 12:24:30 AM Ron said: You gotta love some of these comments. Mayra is upset because the girl is being called a 'hooker' or 'escort'. My guess is that is the section she was advertising in.. What does the whole rest of that comment have to do with the murder? If you met mayra and started talking about Barak Obama or global warming, I have no doubt the conversation would turn to "objectification of women", "a man's world", "escorts vs. massage therapists", and how far a BA goes in dealing with a "condescending man."
Jerry Newcome said: Obviously this young man is a victim of poverty and reverse racism. He should be let free immediately and the American Justice system needs to be put on trial. This young man is a total victim of stereotyping and antiquated male bashing. The goal here is to properly counter blind retributive justice seeking. There is a need to heighten public consciousness of metropolitan interdependencies and to assist in the struggle against recalcitrant racisms. Posted 04/21/2009 at 12:46:01 AM Alan said: Just wanted to mention another stressor that may have "set him off". As a second year medical student, Markoff would have been scheduled to take Step 1 of the USMLE (medical licensing exam) this summer, probably sometime in June. Most US medical students study for around 6-10 weeks for the exam, which is the most important exam they'll take in their academic careers.

Appearances are deceiving, as there are clean cut guys who are psychopaths, and thuggish, big guys who wouldn't hurt a fly. On a different note, I feel for the girl, it could have been me. This despite my now going to college finishing up my BA Yes I have advertised on CL in the Erotic section, no I'm not a skank or a hoe. For me it was seldom and to find an arrangement as I always felt the hourly services thing dangerous. To any woman, please be safe in any context, and please remember to always trust your intuition! This just goes to show that doctors aren't all saints (just like everybody else) and there are assho...
