Gun Match Made in Craigslist Killer Case

Suspect's fingerprints match those left on duct tape at crime scene

Share

(Newser) – Solid evidence is piling up against accused Craigslist killer Philip Markoff, the Boston Globe reports. A gun found at Markoff's home—concealed inside a copy of medical textbook Gray's Anatomy—matched the weapon used to kill Julissa Brisman in preliminary testing, and the suspect's fingerprints match those found on plastic restraints and duct tape left at the crime scenes, authorities said.

This guy should didn't pay attention to the shows and make any attempt to hide himself. Guess at least him being so dumb helps save some other women. Reply
