When Manhattan model and masseuse Julissa Brisman went to meet a client at a luxury Boston hotel, she thought she'd be leaving the hotel with enough money to buy her little sister's school books. But Philip Markoff, the 22-year old med student who hired Brisman on Craigslist, had different plans. On April 14, 2009, guests notified management of a woman screaming on the 20th floor, and Brisman was found in a pool of blood, with several bullet wounds to her torso and a plastic restraint around her wrist.
The hotel's surveillance cameras captured Markoff's image and an additional tip-off led police to follow him for several days prior to his arrest. Markoff is believed to have also assualted and robbed several other women, including an armed robbery and kidnapping of a prostitute who was tied up at another Boston hotel on April 10 and the assault of an exotic dancer in Rhode Island on April 16, both of which bear remarkable similarity to the Brisman murder.
Markoff was arrested by Boston police on April 21 and is being held without bail. The investigation is ongoing.

Condition: Good. The imminent murder trial of Philip Markoff will bring to light the many mysteries behind the secret life and unconscionable acts of the brilliant and well-liked Boston University medical student who came to be known as the Craigslist Killer: How did he conceal his dark side to all who knew him, even his sweet and trusting fianc e? If found guilty of a chain of violent crimes over the course of one week in 2009, including the murder of Manhattan model and masseuse Julissa Brisman in a Boston luxury hotel, what was his motivation? Why did he allegedly use Craigslist, the online bulletin board, to pick out his victims? And what were the clues--pieces of an astonishing puzzle--that led Boston police to arrest the clean-cut, all-American young man with no criminal record who was in reality an out-of-control thrill seeker hiding a lethal sexual life? This compelling, suspenseful (Publishers Weekly) day-by-day account from a producer from 48 Hours Mystery and a Boston Globe reporter goes behind the scenes to reveal how Markoff, once described as a beautiful person inside and out, hid his deadly obsessions from the world--and how the Internet can make any one of us the next victim of the most unlikely killer.
