Just when you thought you had enough of the media saturation of the alleged "Craigslist Killer" Philip Markoff, along comes the Today Show with an exclusive report on the latest twist in the case.
Apparently, Markoff, who is accused of murdering a woman he met on Craigslist in an allegedly botched robbery and assaulting two others, was trolling the website for men and transgender people. MSNBC.com interviews an anonymous "corporate professional" Boston man who says he began corresponding with Markoff after Markoff responded to he posted under "Males for transsexuals."
"He seemed like a nice guy," the anonymous man told the Today Show. Eek.
