On April 14, 2009, Julissa Brisman was found shot to death at Marriott Copley Hotel. The man accused was a 23-year-old two year medical student at Boston University named Philip Markoff. He was due to be married in August to Megan McAllister.Markoff, who had found his victims on Craigslist offering masseuse and other services, was also accused of the robbery of a Las Vegas woman on April 10th in a Boston hotel and attacking a Warwick, Rhode Island woman on April 16th. Wouldn’t you think his wife-to-be would be a little suspicious if he was always going to all these different hotels where these women were attacked? This leads me to believe that she may have been in on the whole thing, or she’s completely clueless.Surveillance tapes from the hotels showed a man with blonde hair and a dark jacket casually walking in and out of the hotels. Authorities had the records of the calls and emails Markoff had sent to his victims. The also recovered a gun.What I got out of this story was that criminals can come from anywhere. They can look like just another normal person walking down the street. You never know what’s actually going on in a person’s head.
