I haven't seen it yet.


I've always wondered how Philip Markoff's parents coped with learning the truth about their handsome medical student son. It couldn't have been easy.

What's even worse is imaging how this ruined Craigslist for so many people who just want to bang strange chicks left and right or make a bit of extra money here and there.

No. Craigslist had a bad reputation long before Markoff, and he's not the only crazy person to murder someone he met on that site.

A control freak like him, and most of them are control freaks, just had to have the last say in what would happen to him. Now if he had gotten the death penalty and fought it, those families would have had a bit more satisfaction.
I read somewhere that Markoff was suicidal back in high school? I can't remember now. He had multiple issues going on to say the least.

One wonders what we don't teach our girls that they would infatuate on famous killers. Might also answer why they will give their bodies to rock stars and such.
Hybristophilia

In popular culture, this phenomenon is also known as "Bonnie and Clyde Syndrome".[2]

Many high-profile criminals, particularly those who have committed atrocious crimes, receive "fan mail" in prison that is sometimes amorous or sexual, presumably as a result of this phenomenon. In some cases, admirers of these criminals have gone on to marry the object of their affections in prison.[3][4]
