Gey of the Day: Philip Markoff - aka the Craigslist KillerFor all you geys that enjoy online prostitution through craigslist... beware. No matter how candy coated it seems, you could end up like erotic masseuse Julissa Brissman - shot dead in the heart at a Boston Hotel. Markoff was an engaged 2nd year medical student at Boston University; definitely not who wou'd expect to be posting on craigslist.
The best is yet to come though. Today a transgender individual from Boston who had posted on craigslist under the category Males for Transexuals came foreward, admitting Philip had contacted him. Philip replied to the posting with the email adress "sexaddict5385@yahoo.com" and called him "babe" and wrote, "I am a 22 y/o graduate student 6'3" 205 good build blonde/blue eyes. Let me know what else you want to see or know about me. What are you into and what are your stats. What are you doing tonight?" Markoff also sent numerous explicit photos - the same photos which were found on Markoff's hard drive.
Markoff's fiance commented on April 21st in an email to ABC news:
"All I have to say to you is Philip is a beautiful person inside and out and could not hurt a fly! A police officer in Boston (or many) is trying to make big bucks by selling this false story to the TV stations." She continued, "What else is new?? Philip is an intelligent man who is just trying to live his life so if you could leave us alone we would greatly appreciate it. We expect to marry in August and share a wonderful, meaningful life together."
It was announced yesterday morning that the wedding has been postponed.
Most wives would be in denial after finding out her husband is gey.
