True Crime
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 fiancée? 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.
