Summary
Philip Markoff seemed to have it all. A bright, clean-cut second-year medical student at Boston University and engaged to Megan McAlister—his college sweetheart. The couple volunteered together in hospital emergency rooms, planning a picture-perfect future.
But beneath his polished exterior, Philip was hiding a dark and twisted double life.
By night, he was trolling Craigslist, arranging meetings with women under the guise of purchasing services—only to rob them at gunpoint. The situation escalated when one of those encounters ended in murder. As police unraveled the shocking details, the media dubbed him the “Craigslist Killer.”
How did someone with such a promising future spiral into violence? And was it really about money... or something darker?
Join us as we dig into this chilling story of deception, addiction, and a life that unraveled behind closed doors.
