On April 23, 2009, The New York Daily News reported that police had arrested Philip Markoff, the suspected “Craigslist Killer" of model Julissa Brisman who advertised her services online. The Boston University med-student shot Brisman and is suspected in a kidnapping and robbery attack a few days earlier of another woman advertising online. Markoff will be charged with first-degree murder by the Boston Municipal Court.
