Seven Days of Rage: The Deadly Crime Spree of the Craigslist

Seven Days of Rage: The Deadly Crime Spree of the Craigslist Killer (48 Hours Mystery)

When Manhattan model and masseuse Julissa Brisman went to meet a client at a luxury Boston hotel, she thought sheâ€™d be leaving the hotel with enough money to buy her little sisterâ€™s school books. But Philip Markoff, the handsome, clean-cut, twenty-two-year-old med student who hired Brisman on Craigslist, had different plans. On April 14, 2009, guests notified management of a woman screaming on the twentieth floor, and Brisman was found in a pool of blood, with several bullet wounds to her torso andâ€¦plastic restraints around her wrist.
Hotel surveillance video captured Markoffâ€™s image, and an additional tip helped police connect him to attacks on several other women, including a prostitute who was tied up at a Boston hotel, and the assault of an exotic dancer in Rhode Island, both of which bear a striking similarity to the Brisman murder.
A skillful blend of hard journalism and fascinating yet chilling true-crime narrative, this headline-making story will appeal to fans of Ann Rule.
