THE CRAIGSLIST KILLER IS DEAD

Steve Markoff is dead. He committed suicide in a Boston cell. He succeeded, even under a 24-hour surveillance. In the media, Phillip got the name the “Craigslist Killer”, because he found the names of his victims on “Craigslist”, an internet forum, where people offered (erotic) services. During a period of 8 days, Steve Markoff robbed, brutalized and traumatized two young women, while murdering one.

Steve Markoff was a naive criminal. He didn't care if the victims saw his face, neglected surveillance camera's and left fingerprints all over the place. The police found out his name and adress, after a couple of days. But the polie was stunned. The suspect, Steve Markoff, was a 25 year old, medical student, from a well-to-do background (his father was a dentist). He was the all-American boy. Tall, handsome, ambitious and intelligent. He was invited to several top classes at the University. He had a fiancee and the couple were planning to get married. Fortunately the first victim possitively identified Markoff as her attacker. Steve was arrested, while he was driving, with his girlfriend, to a casino in another state.

When the police searched his appartment, they foumd the gun, the “Craigslist Killer” used to shoot one of his victims. It's was hidden inside a hollowed out book. Gray's Anatomy!

Even so, he pleeded “not guilty”.

His girlfriend was flabbergasted. She could not believe, that Steve did this. “He is a good man, inside and out”. Equally stunned were his parents. his friends, fellow students and professors. Steve Markoff was a promising young American.

When experts started searching his computer, they discovered yet another side of the supposed killer. The suspect frequently visited sex-sites and advertising bizarre sexual preferences, like leather, bondage and having sex with transvestites. “Steve was willing to have sex with anyone, or anything”, the experts reported.

Steve Markoff is dead. All we have left is circumstantional evidence about his psychological make-up. Compartimentilization in a compartimentalized world. The ultimate loneliness. Steve saught the extremes. He was narcistic and was a gambler, that lost. What did he loose? He lost his soul, why betting with devils and demons. So, take care! And Craigslist? They simply changed “erotic services” into “adult services”. A form of Newspeak, George Orwell would say.
