Philip Markoff, the medical student accused of being the so-called "Craigslist Killer," had e-mail correspondence with at least two of his victims, police say.
Markoff made a court appearance in Boston yesterday after authorities arrested him for the murder of 26-year-old masseuse Julissa Brisman, whom they believe Markoff tied up, robbed and then murdered.
Though gambling debts may have been the monetary motive, Markoff’s alleged disdain for women may have also played a role, according to Suffolk County’s District Attorney Daniel Conley. "Philip Markoff is a man who is willing to take advantage of women — to hurt them, to beat them, to rob them," he said, Boston’s CBS 2 reports.
Markoff’s fiancé, Megan McAllister, insists otherwise. She wrote to news organizations yesterday to proclaim her beloved’s innocence. That doesn’t explain, of course, why investigators found a gun and zip ties in his home. Brisman and another victim, who survived, were bound with such ties.
