Fox25 is saying someone was arrested in the Westin case

Is it me or is the guy wearing two different hats in the holiday inn photos?  He's certainly wearing the same if not a very similar outfit in the pics from the marriott cameras.

It's so obvious he's fake texting to keep his head down too.

I'm glad this killer is such an idiot!

I can't believe someone actually called him "smart" on the boards at some point.

If he was after money, he was stupid because he got hardly any.  Oh, you know he thought there would be a LOT more than $800 in that first girl's room, just like the imbecile who robs a convenience store doesn't realize they do safe drops all night long and keep very little money in the register.  A felony for a few hundred bucks.  Garden variety stupid.  And with all the pics of that blackberry glued to his hands and them saying he's 23, I'm still betting his initial contact with these women was rushed and unprofessional, and he would have been as easy as pie to screen out just by choosing to see coherent, mature daytime clients instead of young boys who sound like young stupid boys who think in text and stay up half the night.

If he was after the thrill, even dumber, because there is nothing more monotonous than waking up day after day after day in prison, for all or most of the rest of your life.  Except for, of course, the occasional raping and shanking...  Otherwise dreadfully monotonous.

I'm still willing to bet on him being some spoiled college kid with a strong streak of entitlement and perceived "hardship", not the desperate junkie some boards have speculated him to be.  Certainly doesn't dress like a junkie.

I am at a lost for words right now! But I am very happy they got him. It was only a matter of time. The cops had some very strong info given to them!

Thank God!!!

Now, I hope he gets fuc'd!

As I said four days ago before some grammar police style nitpicker found fault with it:  

"I would bet good money that when this little weasel is caught (within a matter of days) that he turns out to be some sheltered suburban frat boy experiencing some kind of perceived white bread money "crisis"  - like his parents cut down on his allowance and he had to cut his lattes down to one a day. "

Maybe it was a tuition hike that got him:  http://www.bu.edu/today/campus-life/2009/03/13/2009-2010-tuition-rises-3-75-percent

I'd say a kid who goes to a school that's 50,000 a year and yet goes out and murders and robs defenseless women is, yes, a little spoiled suburban punk experiencing some perceived money "crisis" because he wouldn't know a real crisis if it bit him in the ass, he's so deeply steeped in the kind of entitlement mentality that so pervades the spoiled suburbs these days.  I know I don't have 50,000 a year for school, nor did my folks.  Some people have to actually work for a living.

I can not wait til he goes to trial. I can not see him getting off, hes gonna love prison. That cell phone I think did him in  in the end. Stupid idiot, never commit a crime with your phone on...Followed the pings. They did a good job catching him.

Small though.

Anybody found his profile on a social networking site yet?  It's usually only a matter of minutes before someone does.

Facebook; nothing on myspace.

Here'a clear pic of his Cock!

He's in shackles, and will learn the Greek Language!  LOL  

Re: Here'a clear pic of his Cock!

Ouch!  Regrettably, thanks to all the flaming liberals in Massachusetts we don't have capital punishment, so he won't get to experience such pain--just taxpayer paid massages, manicures, and personal trainers as well as a mere 600 channels of satellite television!

There are three people there, named left to right.  Mike Tyler I suppose is the other guy on the far right named at the end, not the beginning, of the caption.  

The dumb looking chubby blonde guy on the left is "Philip Markoff, entering Boston University School of Medicine", or so the caption say.  Guess there could be two early twenty somethings with the same name (and one L in Philip) entering pre-med at BU around the same time, but someone on another board posted this pic as well, thinking this is the self-same one of arrested in Boston fame.

The top row are pics of jack ass.

Looks like they nabbed him. Thank goodness.

Because on death row you're isolated from other prisoners.  Take another look at that silky skin, so young, so soft, so blonde...  "Being someone's bitch" has become a cliché, but look at this guy.  It ain't gonna be pretty.  And three hots and a cot plus a perpetually bleeding bum are going to be a far cry from the life of a successful MD.  Pretty sure they still don't have condoms in prison, so being that young and pretty IS a death sentence.

of all ironies he probably was going around selling how much he looked forward to care for patients, then cold blooded kills an innocent young woman.
Gotta feel sorry for his fiancee and family and happy for society, the medical community and thousands of potential future patients

Marriott Murder Victim Identified (4/16/2009)
A 22-year-old Boston University medical student has been arrested in connection with a woman's murder and an attempted robbery at two luxury hotels in downtown Boston.

Police identified the suspect as Philip Markoff of Quincy. Boston police Commissioner Ed Davis and Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley made the announcement Monday night.  

Conley said Markoff was arrested around 4 p.m. Monday and is being charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm in the shooting death of 26-year-old Julissa Brisman last Tuesday at the Marriott Copley hotel in downtown Boston.

He is also being charged with armed robbery and kidnapping in the robbery of a woman the week before at Boston's Westin hotel.

Earlier today, Warwick police released a series of photos showing what they say may be the Craigslist killer in a Rhode Island hotel last week.

Police have not charged Markoff in that incident.

WHO IS PHILIP MARKOFF?

Boston University officials confirmed Markoff is a second year medical student at Boston University. Officials say when they learned of the charges against him, he was suspended.

Davis said Markoff has no previous criminal record.

He was engaged to be married this summer. The ceremony was to be held in August on the Jersey Shore.

Markoff lives in a Quincy apartment where investigators were waiting Monday night for a search warrant.

Neighbors told WBZ's Christina Hager they were stunned at the news of Markoff being charged with murder.

Neighbor Mike Dye said he had invited Markoff over for drinks.

"Didn't think anything of it until all the sudden, they said, 'Phil,' and then I remember kind of what the pictures look like a little bit in my head and where he lived, and I just put everything together," Dye said.
"He seemed like a totally normal guy to us," he added.

WHAT LED POLICE TO AN ARREST

Boston police told WBZ-TV earlier Monday that they knew who the suspect was but that they hadn't caught up with him yet.

They found Markoff around 4 p.m. driving in Walpole, police say, and he was arrested.

Police say the public's facination with the case and the widely released photos, including new ones released earlier in the day, drew more than 150 tips.  

Conley said the use of computer crime experts was also critical to the investigation. He said those experts helped connect IP addresses to physical locations.

Calling the case "compelling," Conley said there were several pieces of evidence that linked Markoff to the two cases.

"We would never rely on one bit of evidence," he said.

Markoff will be arraigned Tuesday morning.

THE ROLE OF CRAIGSLIST

Brisman advertised massage services on Craigslist and had a massage table set up in the room where she was shot Tuesday.

Craigslist services were also involved in an armed robbery at the Westin Copley Place April 10.

The woman attacked Thursday in Warwick, R.I., advertised lap dances on Craigslist.

She claims she was held at gunpoint before her husband came into the room and the attacker ran off.

MORE VICTIMS COULD BE OUT THERE

Calling Markoff a predator, Conley asked anyone who has been a victim of robbery after placing an ad on Craigslist to please come forward.

Victims can call 401.468.4200 or Boston police at 617.343.4470 or the CrimeStoppers tip line at 1.800.494.TIPS.

I didn't think your critic was a grammar police as much as a Fox News/Talk Radio/Teabaging angry white guy who was hoping the killer would be an illegal immigrant - the darker the better! Oh and he will blame Obama regardless...
