I figured the weekend might slow down the mdia scrutiny, but we're just getting started. A LOT of new info will be coming out soon.

Oh, and Megan McAllister is scheduled to release a statement tonight. Very interested to hear what she has to say...

Between the murder, robberies, gambling junkets and trolling the sexnets, when did he find time for his medical studies and fiancee? I was under the impression that being in medical school was a real pressure cooker and one has little personal time.

That's one pasty white torso.

>pasty white torso
Could that be part of the problem? Bookish, hesitant to initiate social contacts in person. More comfortable on the internet and with females likely to be compliant with his demands.
Sex addict? Perhaps. Perhaps only he wished to troll for additional victims likely to be willing to meet in hotel rooms.

Honestly I think he has some deep mommy issues. Someone has had tight control over him his entire life. It reminds me of Ed Gein or Ed Kemper but with the looks of Paul Bernardo or Ted Bundy.

violet, honestly? He reminds you of Gein, Kemper and Bernardo? What about him leads you to believe that? He shot a woman in a botched robbery! He didn't mutilate, decapitate, torture, or dismember anyone (that we know of, but it seems doubtful to me that he would ever go to that level).

I would agree more with FoolsGold, the internet was his outlet for a little of what he couldn't do in real life and/or perhaps even what he couldn't do with his fiancee (sexually speaking). The motive behind his attacks might be robbery but that never made sense to me on it's own.

He reminds me more of Neil Entwhistle. The trolling of sex sites, educated, nice looking, etc. Glad he was not yet married and/or had a child or we could quite possibly be looking at another Entwhistle story. How do these people hide their true self so expertly?

"monika said:

Actually he killed a woman in a botched robbery, restrained her, stole her panties and beat her.
The reason he reminds me of Gein and Kemper is because of the issues they had with the maternal figure in their lives. Not for the crimes they committed, other than the fact that they targeted women.

He reminds me of Bernardo just because of the double life that they have led, and the fact that they live(d) a nice lifestyle.
Anyway, just comparing them, not like I'm a juror on his trial or anything, lol.

You all are thinking too much about this stuff.

The guy is a sociopath and he was in debt. His response, and solution, to this was to rob and steal. The initial intent was to create the perfect crime; rob low end people with questionable professions and who were less likely to go to the police.

When Brisman fought back, Markoff knew his plan had been foiled and Markoff had to kill her. He knew (at least in his own mind) that he couldn't be caught.

As far as this case goes, the panties he kept do nothing more than symbolize his "achievments." They are trophies. He did not sexually assault his victims but rather he found every other way to impose his will on them.

I find the stuff they found on his computer fascinating, but I don't really see the relevance of those materials in this case other than to highlight that he had questions about his sexual identity. The rest of it is meaningless outside of feeding our general intrigue.

Honestly, I have no idea what the numbers are like as it pertains to men between the ages of 18 and 50 watching porn or taking part in highly sexual cyber relationships, however I would be willing to wager a boatload of money that the numbers are staggering (to a number of you at least). With the internet continually expanding and such social networking sites as facebook and myspace broadening their reach, such activities are no longer activities partaken by the statistical minority.

Since the activities I discussed above are not socially acceptable, most women do not have a FIRM handle on the extent of the issue - and most men do not talk about it unless amongst men.

In reality, the only thing that sets him apart from the majority of men between the ages of 18-50 is that he is a sociopath and he, both, stole and murdered.

Sad, but really factual (Steve, can you please chime in with your thoughts on my comments?)

But we don't know if he had issues with his mother (do we? I haven't ready anything other than that the parents were not supporting him financially).

Also, while he targeted women in the three attacks he is charged with, we now know some men were of possible interest to him as well.

I understand how you're comparing him, on the surface, with the other murderers/serial killers. And reading your follow up, you're absolutely correct. I think I just went a bit beyond the surface and really couldn's see Markoff in the shoes of the other killers. Luckily, he's shown he's too stupid to organize anything on that scale.

Jaden:

I guarantee you that there are things in your life that you have kept to yourself. It is natural - and really not that hard.

I mean, I have! We, normal people, keep things secret because we are embarrassed about something that happened to us or we because are ashamed
of something we did. Most sociopaths don't exhibit anything crazy because they
only have urges. Until there is a manifestation of these urges, there is nothing to see.

Think about what we know of him - and his "dark side." What sticks out to you? It's not like he was throwing cats out of windows or killing animals just to see what death was like. This is the type of activity that many documented sociopaths take part in before they escalate.

So I must ask: what would have tipped you off?

Monika:

Sociopathy is super complex and there is no defined reason why one becomes sociopathic. It certainly could be a lack of nurturing from his parents at a young age -- but most accounts I have read/heard/seen would refute that (although you never know).

It could be that he just was not well received by others at a young age and he didn't fit in and was a social outcast. This to me fits well and is possible - has anyone seen much of high school friends coming to his defense? The kid running the facebook support page "knew" him but was not some super "tight," buddy of his (think hard about this one - I cannot think of anyone - ANYONE - who has come out and been more than an acquaintance). Finally, sociopathy can be caused by a neurological impairment - this is also possible and could be solved by simple medical tests.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav, my comment above was in response to what violet wrote. I was questioning what was brought up about "mother issues". I was disagreeing, perhaps my response wasn't clear.

I didn't get a chance to say so yesterday, but I completely agree with your email above (the one that starts off "You all are thinking too much about this stuff.").

Gaaaaaaaaav, you make some interesting points, none of which I can possibly disagree with. I suppose there are no red flags with him that could be recognized by someone that doesn't know how to see them. His sexual curiosity does not surprise or shock me, it is what it is. The only "dark" side to him were the robberies and of course the murder.

I say this as I go through a divorce myself. I have been married to a man for six years who has not talked with his family once during that time frame. He has not made one friend in that time frame and he has many odd behaviors, as well he is verbally abusive and hateful. But it took me the two years of "knowing him", and the six years of being married before I came to the conclusion that he just "isn't right". After 8 years, I can honestly say I don't even know the man. Just how sad is that?!? It would not surprise me in the least to read something about him like this very story. I would not come to his defense as this man's fiance has. My story, in a nutshell, is the reason for my question.

P Markoff was a regular cruiser at Boston's North Eastern U toilets where he would regularly provide oral service to other men in the afternoons. Many guys who frequent the basement urinals at Huntington Ave know him by face and recognize his pictures. The problem is that no one wants to speak out. Some regulars used to refer to him as "The BU cumaddict" because of the number of men he would do in a short time. Thats probably where his email name "sexaddict..." came from. Another quirk about him was that he was into wearing panties under his conservative attire. Some guys found that weird, especially since he was so masculine looking. But he would lure men to the bathroom by placing ads on the web for a particular time and day, and middle aged straight men from all over town would come and let him service them one at a time. He was always on his messenger hooking up with his next batch. There was always a weirder than weird air about him, and some days he was actually quite moody. Its not clear that he wasn't getting money from these guys.

Ismit:

I am blown away by your assertion. How do you have this info?

"I am blown away by your assertion. How do you have this info?"

Response:
why are you blown away? Obviously he is a topic of discussion amongst the t-room regulars. Everybody is beside themselves. We didn't expect him to be as weird as that. He was known to live a double life, but so do most of the people that hangout in t-rooms. But killing people is something completely unexpected. Putting everything in context though, I see how he fits into the picture. Behind that regular ordinary mask there was a very disturbed young man that some could see.

Ismit:

1. Maybe I am crazy, but I would say there is a difference between him engaging in sexual email conversations with homosexual men and his, as suggested by you, penchant for allowing line of men to tun oral trains on him.

2. Am I safe in assuming that you would consider yourself a "T-Room Regular?" The tone of your email suggests that you wereand possibly that you had met/interacted with him.

3. If #2 is correct, how did you pull this off from Europe?

WHile its all conjecture Gaaaav, It's likely that he chose women to rob because of their perceived weakness (which would make them easier to subdue and intimidate) Regardless of his sexual quirks, I think he saw an easy means to an end for obtaining money to pay off debts.As you mentioned he killed whenever the Vic fought back, had she not fought back she likely would be alive..its that simple. So its not like he was committing the crimes based on an emotional grudge or hatred of women or for reasons of confused sexuality. He was your garden variety sociopath who fouled up a robbery. Organized and disorganized elements are both frequently noticeable at most scenes. He took the tools for restraint and weapon with him, and stole panty trophies for whatever reason. But i think his primary motive was Robbery and the panties were just an opportunistic convenience that happened to satisfy his taste for womens attire. VIctim selection was Specific only to the extent that he chose women (for their perceived weakness and likliness to submit to him) who were not likely to report robbery (as you said)
His situation is that of a sociopath who needed money and had no qualms about robbing women. It's the OPPOSITE of personal...its opportunistic with specific victims selected for their convenience and likeliness to submit

Most of the questions you asked can be deduced from my posts. I will address mostly where you ask me how I could know things from Europe. Honestly, I hope you understand when I tell you that not everybody in the web is as technologically gullible as Philip Markoff, despite his airs of being atop the latest technologies. Let me add that people in important positions must protect their anonymity, especially when dealings with issues surrounding their shadow sexualities.

I was not a friend of Markoff, but his looks and contradictions drew the attention of many, including myself. What I deduced was the result of carefully observing him a few times while doing the t-room circuit in Boston. I did not even know his real name until probably after you did. I do however have a good eye and ear, and can tell a great deal from a person's demeanor.

You are right iustitia. Philip most likely did not intend to use his gun when he robbed Brisman. Had Julissa conducted herself in a more cooperative fashion, she would likely still be alive. Curiously, Julissa was from a city where people know that when they are being robbed it is not smart to resist--NYC.

Philip was more the type of man that would have rather been in a leash clad only in panties while being sexually and verbally humiliated, or urinated upon... The guy craved being a sub, especially to other men. His attack on women was mostly fueled by his gambling addition and debt. Let me add that it is great that this guy was caught, especially at a young age. He is the type of criminal that would have likely escalated into a full fledged serial killer later in life. The fact that he used craigslist, and did so in a not very bright way, was one of the primary reasons that led to his arrest. Had he met his victims using newspaper ads, it would have been alot more difficult to catch him. People should be grateful that some would be criminals are drawn to craigslist. Most of the crimes committed using ads in craigslist are resolved and the criminals brought to justice, something that was not the case for similar crimes of the past.

Ismit: "...a regular cruiser at Boston's North Eastern U..."

Surprised that someone who is writing from the Boston area (using a proxy server to disguise your location) and familiar with the "t-rooms" of NU wouldn't know that a school as prominent in Boston as Northeastern is just that. Northeastern. Not North Eastern. We learn that it's Northeastern (one word) from when we are little kids -- NEVER North Eastern. Strange that you wouldn't know that...

lustitia:

I would say thank you for educating me, but everything you stated had already been posted by you's truly.

Ismit:

Do you rack up a lot of frequent flyer miles flying from Holland to Boston for the "North Eastern" t-rooms? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just drive to Amsterdam and partake in these activities there?

Lol: Clearly this guy's full of crap.

Who knows if it's true or not. Could be. Anyway, if I was posting about my sexual life, I would use a proxy too ;p

Sorry if my navigation habits seem to you strange; but for reasons of privacy I have to use a proxy; (so running an ip address checker will now show me to be from Canada). No I am not there now. Concerning "North Eastern" versus "Northeastern": well fast typing and being multilingual (or is it multi-lingual) will do that.

Amsterdam, yes it is a nice city for alot (or is it "a lot"?) of sexual activities, yet for certain sexual ethos, no place beats many of the subcultures of North America. Opinions differ; I know someone who thinks that Rio offers the most exciting troom scene in the world, and a friend from Chicago claims that Rome is the place.

So even if I were living in those places you claim I live in, that would not prevent me from doing the scene in Boston.

Now my ip address is Italia. No I didnt fly from Canada to Italy in the time since the last posting. I just want to show you that where I post from should not be used to judge the merit of what I say.

ismit: i would like to communicate with you about phil. please contact me at spying4newz@yahoo.com. researching this story for the media, and i'm interested in what you have to say....

What I know about Phil is what I wrote. I dont need to go into email conversation. I also made another post about a football player and TV that hangs out in alt.com who was Phil's dom. I am not sure why it didnt appear here. As I said, many people know Phil especially in Boston's TV and S&M scene. The thing is that the people do not want to speak.

I was not part of of that scene, so only know phil by sight, as I stated above, and because of gossip from people who knew him; yes phil was into doing the t-room scene in Boston, and that is where I saw him a few times; his pleasant looks and his constant messaging made him look out of place. As I stated in a post, perhaps taken down from here, Phil was a sex worker something he did to finance his gambling. If you want to know more about Phil just meet a few dom TVs in Boston, and that is easy if you go through alt.com. But you will have to make believe that you are a player in the scene and not just doing investigation on Phil.

NOTE FROM STEVE: Ismit, I haven't deleted any of your comments. The more you've commented, the more credible you've seemed, to me.

Ismit: i too find you credible. i wonder, would he have married poor megan...or was he acting out so much and so wildly because he knew he never could? and now, of course, he won't.....

Johnny asked:

"i too find you credible. i wonder, would he have married poor megan...or was he acting out so much and so wildly because he knew he never could? and now, of course, he won't....."

Honestly, I am not qualified to comment on whether he would have married Megan. Phil was a very sexually disturbed individual. Megan may have been only a cover to keep his "normal" public image intact. I have heard of many subs that lead perfectly normal "heterosexual-appearing" lives. Philip was however a rather unusual type of sub, he wanted to be a sub to a M2F TV while he was in drag. Keeping the acrobatics of such a side-life-style would have been challenging to even the brightest, and I don't think Phil was that bright* (as the careless trail he left reveals)--despite what the media claims.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question, but have been too busy of late.

*Not my words, but those of one of his professors at BU, that happens to be a member of my scene.

Ironically, Megan is one lucky girl - can you imagine her finding out about the "real" Phil Markoff after marrying him, and having a couple of kids? The idea of what looks like a straight arrow med student actually being a cold blooded killer is fascinating, but I think people are also interested in why he's this way. Yeah, he was in debt from gambling, but it probably paled in comparison to his med school loans. Fortunately, most human beings wouldn't thinking harming others, never mind murdering somebody, to pay off debt. With the hard financial times upon us, isn't it refreshing that most of us remain good people? (Let's not quibble about loving gossip, because this is a devilishly good one! When I read about Markoff, Madoff, whomever, I am grateful for all the goodness out there.

ismit: so where are these t-stalls on nu? which building? and how would anyone there know him as the 'bu cumaddict'? did he show his id?

"ismit: so where are these t-stalls on nu? which building? and how would anyone there know him as the 'bu cumaddict'? did he show his id?"

I am not sure why he was known that way. He used to service men he would meet on line in the public bathrooms, and they would just come for him. People say he was getting paid for that, but I never saw him take money from his johns. It is possible they were paying him trough a paypal account, as many sex workers do now. You have to remember that these days the real world scenes merge flawlessly with those in the internet. People's name online become people's name in real world, especially in a scene as tightly knit as the m2f s&m scene in, say, Boston.

Public meeting areas for different scenes, including t-rooms are categorized and star rated by t-rooms regulars in Boston, and other cities all over the globe. Even highways stops and other areas are rated, in most countries. In particular, people know where the places around Boston are, and even have their gps coordinates.
