Source: BU med student charged in Craigslist killing:

Boston police have arrested 22-year-old Philip Markoff not only for the murder of Julissa Brissman but also for the robbery of another craigslist escort in the Westin Hotel a week prior. All that’s known now is that he is a pre-med student from Boston University.

Here is the press conference held by the Boston Police tonight.

To give you some of the highlights of the things that Boston police could comment on is that Warwick, RI police are still conducting their investigation of an armed robbery of an exotic dancer at the Holiday Inn Express. Also, the Boston police are telling other craigslist escorts that there will be no retribution against them if they have been robbed by Markoff and they come forward.

Thanks to cj for the tip.

UPDATE: As usual Steve Huff of True Crime Report has uncovered the online digital life of Phillip Markoff.
