Have to admit, I'm already riveted to this case. So many issues are brought together: money, white male entitlement, prostitution and shame, gambling, misogeny. Eventually, denial, too. The last sentence of the Times article brought out the pitiful irony: his victim's body was taken to the same hospital where he was to train to save lives. "First do no harm."
Is he an amoral psychopath? Would he have killed again, had he not been caught? It's possible that he might not, but probable that having done it once, he might've been driven to repeat. All speculation, but what's worth noting is his cavalier indifference to covering his tracks. He was almost begging to be caught, yet clearly was self deluded into thinking it impossible.
This is a case to follow -- including the poor fiancee's handling of this left-field crisis. Did I say "poor?" I noticed that she's emailing everyone saying it's a set-up for the police to sell their story. After the gun and handcuffing materials were found in his apt, and his puss is all over the surveillance footage ("Honey, why were you in those hotels on the nights those women were attacked? Oh, you had business. No more questions, let's go to Foxwoods!") Stay tuned.

The fiancee certainly is delusional, isn't she? I understand wanting to support the person you love, but in this case she should keep her opinions to herself as it's just making her look foolish.

More importantly will it wind up on Law and Order or SVU?

Look for it during fall sweeps.
A similar thing happened in NYC recently with a radio DJ bringing home a 16 year old for a little S&M via craigslist.
Also, Markoff...Madoff....coincidence?

Yes now there is pressure on Craigslist to not allow Adult services postings. Takes just a couple psycho killers to ruin it for EVERYONE!

Don't they think he killed more than one person? That's what someone at the gym said today.
But yeah. She's in denial.

When I first saw this story, I thought he was the NYC Craigslist killer. Didn't realize there was a Boston one as well.

Just heard a radio report that Markoff kept personal items (underwear, pantyhose) of his murder victimes as "mementos".
