Craigslist Killer Also Targeted Men and Transexuals for Online Trysts

The Boston area "craigslist killer" was previously thought to only target women, as the two known victims were female escorts, but a new allegation suggests he may also have looked for dates with men and transexuals.

The Today Show reported today that Philip Markoff used his e-mail address to send pictures of himself to at least one man who posted in the "men 4 transexual" section of Craigslist. It's not clear if he ever assaulted or killed anyone other than the two women, but the fact that he was also e-mailing men is scary enough.

What do you guys think of this news? One thing to take away from this is internet safety, which you can read about here.

  1. The story kinda bothers me because they are making it sound that the fact that he was looking for men makes him so EVIL. It’s not bad enough he killed a woman, but now it’s much more “newsworthy” that he was trolling for Trannys and gays??? Just don’t get it.

  2. I’m with Steve O… Granted this guy is one sick puppy, but hes a cute sick puppy.
    I know my next question has got to be on other people’s minds too… Where are those alleged pics he sent? O:-)

  3. Meh, does nothing for me.
    Pat, it is definitely newsworthy if his target pool is wider than suspected. How it gets presented, well.
