Wedding off for accused Craigslist killer
Published: April 30, 2009 at 6:14 PM
BOSTON, April 30 (UPI) -- Plans for an August wedding for accused Boston-area Craigslist killer Philip Markoff are off, the attorney for Markoff's ex-fiance said.
Megan McAllister had a 25-minute visit with Markoff -- jailed in Boston after being accused of fatally shooting masseuse Julissa Brisman April 14 and of robbing four days earlier another masseuse he met on Craigslist -- CBS' "The Early Show" reported.
"I think she feels good about coming up and seeing him, but now it's time to move on with other things in her life," McCallister's attorney Robert Honechker Jr. said Thursday "The Early Show."
"(The) wedding that's been planned is obviously off," Honechker said. "There's no plans to reschedule any wedding. It's being dismantled."
Markoff has pleaded not guilty and was suspended from Boston University's medical school pending resolution of his case.
"And there's a point where he has to face those charges through the criminal justice system, and she has to move on with the things that she also has planned, other than their wedding, in her life," the attorney said. "And that's what she's going to do."

Let's look at what Megan has to face. I wouldn't be so quick to call her stupid. She was young. She put her faith and trust in to someone she loved and thought she would spend the rest of her life with and build a family with. That being said, I would want to not believe that someone that I held to such a high standard would be capable of committing such horrific, grotesque crimes. Now, how is she going to be able to simply move on and have normal relationships? I would be questioning everyone I "trusted" through out my life. It isn't going to be easy for her.

Hi minitess.
I didn't realize that. I thought they were living apart while he was in school but went back and read some of the articles and saw that wasn't the case.. I guess if someone wants to hide something from another person - they can - but for me personally, I think I would have been suspicious about all those gambling outings while in school - wonder where she thought he was getting the money from?

i agree ber!
4 years is a long time and to be dealt this type of a blow suddenly, must be devastating for her....she most likely will be called to testify at his trial, but what if she knew anything and simply brushed it aside...sad for her and her family who got to know him, sad for his family who thought they knew him...

She is very lucky they caught him when they did. If he had not been caught she would have married him and maybe have suspected something going on, confronted him and then ended up one of his victims.
It feel sad for his victims and their families. She will get over this but the victim and their families is another story.

Geeze Louise! If this guy need panties he could have gone to Targe' you know ?. That's where people like KC forged checks and he wouldn't have to spend time undressing & assaulting women. He could just wear the panties himself & tossed them under the bed to grow mold.

Gee! good thing Mr going to be an MD was found out
in time. Usually the patients are the crazy ones you wanna run from. I guess they are not as picky about who gets in to medical school these days.

I really feel sorry for the fiancee. What a slap to the face. She must be so horrified by all this. I hope her family and friends are being really supportive and I hope she is able to put him out of her mind and move on.

Accused 'Craigslist Killer' Won't See Former Fiancee for 'Long Period of Time'
Lawyer Says Megan McAllister Didn't Know About Evidence Collected by Police
By SARAH NETTER, EMILY FRIEDMAN and MICHELE McPHEE
As Phillip Markoff, the accused "Craigslist Killer," sits in jail one day after pleading not guilty of first-degree murder, his former fiancee is making plans for a future that does not include him.
Megan McAllister's lawyer Bob Honecker told "Good Morning America" today that the young woman last saw Markoff on June 11 when she traveled to Boston to meet with the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
"She told him that she planned to attend medical school," Honecker said, "and also she let him know that she did not expect to return to Boston and it would be quite a long period of time, if ever, before she saw him again."
Markoff, himself a medical student at the time of his April arrest, also pleaded not guilty Monday to the armed robbery of another woman as well as kidnapping and weapons charges.
He is accused of the April 14 shooting of Julissa Brisman, 25, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel where the two allegedly met after Markoff responded to Brisman's advertisement in Craigslist's "erotic services" section.
Markoff is also charged with the April 10 armed robbery of 29-year-old Las Vegas woman named Trisha Leffler in another Boston hotel. He's also been charged with a third attack on a woman in a Rhode Island hotel days after Brisman's murder.
He is being held without bail at Boston's Nashua Street Jail.
McAllister has testified before the grand jury, and Honecker said she'll continue to fully cooperate with the district attorney's office.
Honecker said McAllister was in New Jersey at the time of the attacks and wasn't aware that her fiance was keeping any of the evidence police say they've found, including underwear from his victims, plastic zip ties and a gun allegedly purchased using another man's identification.
"I think that Megan will always love and support the man she knew," Honecker said, adding that some of the details released in the last several days, particularly at the arraignment, were very disturbing.
"She will await the legal process and she will hopefully abide by what is the determination of time and the court of law as to what is the real Philip Markoff," he said.
At Monday's court appearance, Markoff never made eye contact with his parents, Richard Markoff and Susan Haynes, who were sitting in the packed courtroom Monday just a few rows behind him.
As the charges against his son were read, Richard Markoff rocked back and forth in his seat. Haynes twitched her hands nervously in her lap.
Markoff's brother Jonathan Markoff was also in court alongside his wife, Deanna, whom he held hands with throughout the arraignment.
Asked by ABC News whether he still believed in his son's innocence, Richard Markoff nodded yes.
Brisman's mother Carmen Guzman cried as Markoff made his pleas, and Brisman's sister bowed her head and began to cry audibly when prosectors read the details of the attack during which they said Brisman was "hit on the head before shot at point blank range three times."
Suffolk County Prosecutor Edmond Zabin described to the courtroom "three violent assaults against three female victims."
Zabin said that Markoff had used the ID of a man from upstate New York by the name of Andrew Miller to purchase the 9mm gun he later used to kill Brisman.
According to Zabin, Markoff drove to Mason, N.H., in February to purchase the gun when his fiance, Megan McAllister, was away for the weekend. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco an Firearms traced the murder weapon to the New Hampshire shop and found Markoff's prints on the purchasing document, prosecutors said.
Those prints also matched those found at the scene of Brisman's killing, the DA said in court.
Andrew Miller is cooperating with the investigation, said Zabin, who did not comment on how Markoff and Miller knew each other.
It is unclear whether Markoff will appear in court again Tuesday when there will be another pre-trial hearing to argue motions by the defense attorneys.
Defense Attorney John Salsberg said that he will argue that "the jury pool has been poisoned."
Salsberg said that he has presented the district attorney's office with a list of questions regarding media leaks.
According to the indictment, evidence suggest that Markoff and Brisman struggled in the hotel room she had rented, and he hit her in the head several times with the butt of the 9mm semiautomatic pistol.
Zabin said that Markoff drew the gun, ordered the victim to the floor, forced her to her stomach and bound her arms with plastic ties. Markoff allegedly donned leather gloves during the attack and disabled Brisman's cell phone.
He then allegedly shot Brisman three times in the chest and stomach from close range, killing her almost instantly, according to the indictment.
Brisman was found by authorities with one flex-cuff restraint on her wrist and bruising on her other wrist. Zabin said that surveillence video of Markoff shows that he wore the same outfit -- a baseball cap and a button down t-shirt -- on April 10 and 14.
Police identified Markoff as the suspect by tracking the e-mails that were sent to Brisman to set up the meeting, according to a statement released by the prosecutor.
They used the Internet protocol address for the e-mail account to determine the physical adress from which the e-mails were sent, and when they staked out the location, saw a person who matched the description they had of the alleged assailant. That person turned out to be Markoff, the statement said.
When they learned he was a student at Boston University's medical school, investigators contacted university police to get a copy of his school identification photograph. When they showed that photo to the Las Vegas woman who had been robbed, she identified him as the man who had attacked her, according to the district attorney's statement.
