Fiancée of Craigslist Killer: "He's Really a Nice Guy"

When I first heard about the Craigslist Killer, I thought it was some rival hipster website that let people buy/sell/trade their worthless stuff. Then I thought "that's dumb". Turns out the craigslist killer is, in fact, a real killer. Philip Markoff met some girls on craigslist and then killed one of them. Which sucks for the victim and her family, but having the name "craigslist killer" is definitely not going to get you props in jail. You might as well be the Kmart killer. Or if you're in Fredericksburg, the Rose's killer.

He should've expected the media to nickname him. He's a med-student after all. You got to do the necessary prep work. He should've done his killing at Five Guys. Then you could be the Five Guys Killer. And you could swing that name in prison like you really killed five guys at once instead of unsuspecting women on a website where I sold my Huffy 7-speed bike.

Turns out this guy isn't as smart as we thought. First off, robbing people to pay off your gambling debts is not ok. Unless you're named after a city and rob stage-coaches out west. Secondly, if you're engaged, why did you take the victims' underwear as a trophy? Anyone with a girlfriend can tell you that's just a dumb move. You know she's gonna find it and realize IT'S NOT HER UNDERWEAR. Then you've just dug you're own grave right there. Because either way you play it, tell the truth or lie, you're up sh*t creek without a canoe and there are pirahnas in the creek. With lasers.

And his fiancée, Megan McAllister, is the best/worst part, depending on how you look at the situation. "He wouldn't hurt a fly", she says. Uh...clearly. Girl is totally clueless. He met up with girls online. Killed someone. And raided the panty drawer. And you knew nothing. Just be glad you didn't investigate all those supposed "late night med school study sessions" he told you about. Keep it in perspective. Take all the harsh media criticism in stride. At least you're not going to get "human booster shots" from some hairy dude named Tiny for the next 25-life.

Unless you're into that sort of thing.

  1. At least he didn't kill people at mid-grade restaurants. Then he would have been the "Friday's Killer." Or the "TGIF Killer!"

    Oh wait, that was Bob Sagat. (Props to all other children of the early '90s that got that.)
