"Craigslist Killer" Suspect a "Beautiful Person": Fiancee

hilip Markoff, a 22-year-old medical student who stands accused of luring women posting Craigslist ads for sensual services to, in one case, their deaths, has been called "a beautiful person inside and out" by Megan McAllister, the woman to who he is engaged to be married.

The Philip Markoff - Megan McAllister wedding, according to their website (since removed, I wonder why?), is scheduled for 115 days from yesterday.

Megan McAllister sent an email to ABC's Good Morning, America, in which she said that Philip Markoff "could not hurt a fly," and that he was "a beautiful person inside and out." Finally she added that their wedding is scheduled for August and that they expect to "share a wonderful, meaningful life together."

-----------------------------

Megan McAllister is not the only person to leap to Philip Markoff's defense. In an interview on "The Today Show," James Kehoe, one of Markoff’s best friends during his time as an undergrad at the University at Albany, said:

“He was one of my best friends in my dorm, in a dorm with a lot of people I didn’t connect with that much. He was one of the people that I felt I could really get along with. I felt like he was smart, an intellectual, nice, friendly guy.

In a somewhat damning statement, however, Kehoe noted that when he saw pictures taken by hotel security of the suspect in the cases, he was sure it was Philip Markoff.

“I just saw one picture. It didn’t take more than that. It was him.”

2. His grandparents live in this area

On the local nooz tonight, they had a statement from his grandfather ...... not unlike that from his fiance in your post.


I always felt Jeffrey Dahmer's father was a victim. I can surely empathize with these people who love(d) this guy.

3. Interesting how the fiancee and at least one of the victims are both 26

Are the other victims also 26 or nearly 26?
