Philip Markoff -- who's accused of using Craigslist to hire women for massages, but then robbed one and killed another -- has been indicted on murder and other charges in Massachusetts, authorities say. Snip from the New York Times:
A search of Mr. Markoff’s home in Quincy, Mass., produced a 9-mm
semiautomatic handgun, ammunition and zip ties like those used in the
attacks, the statement said. Investigators also recovered several of
the cellphones, or TracFones, laptop computers and four pairs of
women’s underwear inside socks hidden in a box spring.
Here's a New York Post story about Markoff that appeared soon after his arrest. It does a better job of crawling inside the med student's life than anything else I've seen.

Why is every murder addressed by his name....yet this guy is the "Craigslist" murder? Craigslist really has little to do with it. They always have to remind us of the erotic ads. Americans are so hung up on everything sex.

I wonder which investigator was brave enough to touch the sock stuffed under his mattress.
I don't remember much of anything I learned in college - except don't touch a hand towel or a sock anywhere near a guy's bed.

Jellybean,
They have rubber gloves for that kind of work. I would have used two pair.
