Craigslist Killer Suspect Indicted in Rhode Island:

Prosecutors Seek DNA Sample In Craigslist Killing:

The man who has been dubbed by the media as the Craigslist killer, Philip Markoff, has been indicted in the state of Rhode Island.

If you’ll recall not only is Markoff accused of killing Boston masseuse Julissa Brisman but he’s also accused of robbing and assaulting a stripper in Warwick, RI.

Meanwhile back in Boston prosecutors have requested a DNA sample from Markoff saying they do not have one on file.

In a loud voice, Markoff pleads ‘not guilty’:

Philip Markoff, the accused killer of craigslist masseuse Julissa Brisman, was indicted on seven counts including first-degree murder. An emotionless Markoff entered a very vocal plea of not guilty.

Another detail that emerged today was that Markoff allegedly used the stolen driver’s license of a New York man to illegally purchase the gun that he used to kill Julissa Brisman. The man who the license belonged to is not believed to have any connection to the crime.

I wonder how his Facebook support group is dealing with this.

Basically there’s really only two worthwhile pieces of information from this article. The first is as I mentioned in the headline Philip Markoff has been taken off of suicide watch but he’s still wearing the paper clothes. The second piece of information is that Markoff told his family to forget about him because more information is going to come out. What that information may be is anyone’s guess.

However this allows me to address something. I am not going to post the more salacious and gossipy parts of this story. I personally could give a rat’s ass if his fiance is going to call off the marriage or not. I’m only interested in seeing justice served for the death of Julissa Brisman.

Court Lists Markoff As ‘Indigent’:
Craigslist killing suspect can’t afford lawyer:

Break out the tiny violin. No, not that one, get the tinier one. It seems that one Philip Markoff, the accused murderer of Julissa Brisman, can’t afford his own attorney. If I remember correctly that means that one will be provided for him.

It seems that Markoff is $130K in the hole on student loans, he receives no financial support from his parents, and he hasn’t held a job in sometime.

This kind of makes me wonder if Markoff was trying to pay his bills by gambling which ultimately led to his alleged robbery spree.

I grew up in a gambling town and one of the cardinal rules of gambling is never gamble to pay the bills. It never works out. and in this case it left someone dead.

More Charges To Come In Craigslist Case:

According to CBS News the Attorney General’s office of Rhode Island will be filing charges soon against Philip Markoff. As previously mentioned Markoff is a suspect in the armed robbery of an exotic dancer at the Holiday Inn Express in Warwick, RI. A police source previously leaked to the media that fingerprints in the hotel room match those of Markoff.

The article says that Rhode Island will also be pursuing extradition of Markoff. I hope they mean after Massachusetts gets through with him.

Gun Matches Bullets in Craigslist Murder Case:

A law enforcement official who spoke to the media on the condition of anonymity has said that the ballistics test on Philip Markoff”s gun say that it’s a preliminary match for the gun that killed Julissa Brisman. Another law enforcement official has also said that one of Markoff’s fingerprints was found at the scene of the robbery of the exotic dancer in Warwick, Rhode Island. And let’s not forget that the duct tape and zip ties matching those used on his victims were also found in Markoff’s residence.

So far this news has not effected Markoff’s support base.
