Foxnews has published some photos of at least one man who is connected to the Craigslist killings, Phillip Markoff. The so-called Craigslist killer is wanted in connection with at least two robberies and one murder. Last Thursday the body of Jessica Brisman was found in a Boston Mass Marriott, shot multiple times.
The reason they think that Markoff is involved is because his photo was taken leaving the scene of a R.I. Holiday Inn and a Bostin Westin hotel, where two different robberies had taken place. Markoff advertises himself as a masseuse on Craigslist and at least one of the victims advertised erotic services on Craigslist. Strangely her husband broke up the attack before it got out of hand (what kind of husband lets their wife advertise for erotic services on Craigslist? I thought they were called pimps).
I will say this, I’ve always been wary about advertising or buying stuff off of craigslist. With ebay its all impersonally done via the mail, but with Craigslist you oftentimes have to go to some unknown’s house, half the time in some shady part of town. You have to be careful when dealing with the unknown like this. Also, this is one of the dangers of being involved in the sex trade. I’m not saying that this lady deserved to be attacked, but that business deals with very dangerous individuals.

Your points are well taken, but they also just reinforce the idea we all have to be terrified of each other and limit our interactions to a few safer venues that control all the traffic and commerce. Unfortunately one individual can ruin it for all. By keeping all sex trade illegal, it puts it in the neighborhoods of the dangerous to even begin with. Its so crazy that people kill for sex, or mix robbery and violence up in it. It goes to the concept of the “limbic brain” where fight or flight centers are so closely associated with sexual behavioral centers. The lack of socialization and training in this area sets some people up for the ultimate confusion. Our society forbids any socialization or training here and some people fall into its cracks. I think society’s failings in a fuller socialization contribute to the problem.

Markoff - the consummate Young [entitled] College Republican claims he can’t afford a lawyer.
Apparently he doesn’t goose step to the party’s “personal responsibility and accountability” mantra and is one of the losers the GOP yelled at for “not budgeting and living within their means”.
Doctor Daddy and all…had enough other people’s money to gamble and cavort with hookers but none to be found for personal responsibility of legal fees?
Markoff is a equal opportunity Young College Republican …we have to give him that
he used the email address sexaddict5385 to send explicit pictures and emails of himself to men he found on craigslist ads labeled M4T, meaning “men looking for transvestites.”
So much Kafka, so little time.
