How Soon We Forget

It seems like only yesterday that the nation was all atwitter with talk of Philip Markoff. He was the alleged "Craigslist Killer," remember?

He was also a 22-year-old med student, engaged to be married, with a gambling addiction

Well, believe it or not he was never tried for the murder of Julissa Brisman, but he was in jail. He had finally been arrested last spring.

Phil was found yesterday morning dead in his cell. He put a bag over his head and stabbed himself with a pen.

Evidently all that medical training paid off as Markoff found nice juicy arteries to stick in his neck and legs. There was a hell of a lot of blood all over his cell according to witnesses.

Megan Says, "I Won't"

This guy Philip Markoff, the alleged Craigslist killer, just keeps getting better and better.

Police found 16 pairs of women's panties and 60 pairs of Flex-Cuffs in his home. Evidently he used the cuffs to tie up his victims, but don't know if the panties were souvenirs or fresh out of the pack.

Allegedly Phil was also looking for transsexuals and men for sex on Craigslist.

His fiancee, Megan McAllister, visited him in jail yesterday for the first time. You'll be happy to know the August 2009 wedding is now off. Think maybe she should have a chat with Rihanna.

Crap Shoot

So what's a 22 year-old betrothed med student with a gambling jones going to do? Oh, wait, I know. Slaughter exotic masseuses after he robs them.

Authorities are scrambling to find a motive for Philip Markoff's alleged targeting of Craigslist chicks for robbery, beatings and the occasional murder.

They think he wanted to pay off gambling debts. Yeah, that would explain it.

Listen up, assholes, you rob a bank if you want to pay off your gambling debt. Not a hooker. Or you figure out how to get into grandpa's retirement fund.

People who know Mr. Markoff, or just peed next to him in the men's room once, are coming out of the woodwork. Some claim they never noticed anything wrong, others claim to have been aware of his 'dark side.'

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
