Alleged Craigslist Killer Indicted

Indictment includes murder, armed robbery.

On April 14, 25-year-old aspiring actress Julissa Brisman was shot in a Boston hotel after advertising her massage skills in the "exotic services" section of Craigslist. Now, according to The Washington Post, former medical student Philip Markoff, 23, has been formally indicted on charges of first-degree murder. He was also charged with a separate April 10 armed robbery of a 29-year-old Vegas woman at another Boston hotel. The indictment did not include the assault and weapons charges alleged by a Rhode Island warrant accusing Markoff of pulling a gun on a stripper. Markoff pled not guilty to the indictment charges and is being held without bail in Quincy, Massachusetts.
