Philip Markoff: Craigslist killing

In April 2009 Philip Markoff was accused for the murder of New York native Julissa Brisman. The pair met on craigslist through an erotic services advertisement. Brisman was hit in the head with a gun barrel and then shot three times at close range. Officials found a gun with 2 blood stains on it in Markoff's apartment making him the prime suspect. Markoff was also held suspect to the armed robbery of a women from Las Vegas and for a attacking a stripper all in that same week.

So the question I would ask Mr. Markoff is what happened?

What terrible thing happened that made a former medical student at the university of Boston attack three women in one week? The question will unfotunately never be answered because Markoff commited suicide in jail on August 15th while awaiting his trial.

  1. It is an interesting question - why would someone who seems to have so much going for them, behave in such a manner. This would be the realm of a pyschologist, perhaps, working for a police department during an investigation.
