Beyond the Headlines: Catching the Craigslist Killer Page #5

---

We're looking for a big, blond loser

wearing a Red Sox cap in Boston?

Is that what you're telling me?

Let's get right on that one.

We should have that settled by morning.

Thanks for the crack work, Detective.

Maybe somebody will lD the photo.

We got a blurry photo

with the same damn guy

wearing the same friggin' hat.

This is just going great.

Police are now hoping someone out there

recognizes this man

from all the surveillance photos

in the various hotels.

They are trying to get onto his track

this morning,

but so far, they have no leads.

But police say the warning

is out to women now

that this man is still on the loose,

especially if you post ads on Craigslist.

Matt.

-Who is it?

-Marcelo, superintendent.

I need to talk to you.

Oh, my God. That's amazing.

Nice.

All right, that's it for me. I'm cashing out.

I'm done.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

I've got another date, ladies. I'm so sorry.

$5,300.

You have three new messages.

Hey, Philip. i need to talk to you.

Where are you?

Philip, call me. i need to talk to you, okay?

Message deleted.

-Baby, where are you? Call me as soon as...

-No, no.

Message deleted.

Hey, your client there yet?

He called and said he'd be, like, 10 minutes.

All right, well, text me when he gets there.

Promise. Love you, sweetheart.

I love you, too, babe.

You're a young one. Come on in.

It's just a lap dance like the ad said, okay?

That's all I came for, yeah.

Lie face-down on the floor.

Lie face-down on the floor right now!

Put your hands behind your back.

Listen to me. I do not want to kill you, okay?

-Who's calling your phone?

-I don't know.

Honey, take a seat. Don't move, don't move.

Get off! Get off!

What the hell's going on here?

...just call the toll-free number

on your screen

for a free personal enrollment kit.

You're under no obligation to enroll,

and no salesman will call.

it's so easy to afford peace of mind.

The hunt for the man being called

"The Craigslist Killer"

has spread this morning

from Boston to Rhode island.

Police in Warwick near Providence

are investigating a robbery attempt

that may involve the same man who killed

two young women in Boston.

Boston police

say the murderer apparently targeted...

I thought you said, "No secrets."

What are you talking about?

Where have you been?

-What do you mean?

-The super came by.

You haven't paid the rent in three months.

If there's something going on,

then I need to know before...

Before what? Before you marry me?

I missed some bills, Meg.

I'm sorry, okay? I'm studying 20 hours a day.

I've got millions of tons of crap

that I'm dealing with

and professors on top of that.

But you know what?

You're right, you're right. I screwed up.

I screwed up, and I'm... You know what?

I'm sorry that I'm not the perfect guy

you thought I was.

-I never asked you to be the perfect guy.

-Then what are you asking me?

What do you want from me, Meg?

I should've told you first, okay?

And I didn't. I just...

I get in my own head about things, and...

It's been a really hard time for me, you know?

It's been a hard time for me, too.

I know, I know.

Look, I am... I'm sorry, babe.

I am so sorry, okay?

I haven't been there for you,

and I'm gonna be, all right?

Baby, look at me. It's my fault, okay?

But I am trying my best.

I'll go down

to the management office tomorrow.

I'll take care of it right away, first thing.

I promise, okay?

God, I love you.

I don't want to mess this up, babe.

I don't want to lose you.

I'm not going anywhere.

-You promise?

-Yes.

Good.

Just, you need to let me in, okay?

I have no idea what I did to deserve you.

Lady got lucky.

Husband was in the lobby,

came to check on her.

Hey, blow that up for me, would you?

Lieutenant? We tracked an lP address

for that last email to Julissa.

Whoever sent it lives in Quincy.

He who kills by the lnternet

fries by the lnternet, right?

He's not frying yet.

It's an apartment complex,

so the killer could've been using

somebody else's wireless signal.

All right, then I want a full tenant list

for that building.

I want six units down there,

six invisible units.

And I want 100 copies ofthis picture

blown up, all right?

Let's hope the coffee's good down in Quincy.

No, no, no, no, no.

Listen to me, listen to me.

I don't want you hanging out

in the mall on a school night, all right?

You understand?

Okay, all right. You got a ride?

Do I know him?

Okay. All right.

Great, I love you, baby.

I'll see you back at the house.

This guy is driving me crazy.

I mean, he's turning me

into my old man here.

I'm two seconds away

from locking my daughter up for good.

Gotta let her go at some point.

Do l?

There's got to be 800 units in this place.

Great. All we've got to do now

is wait for a guy to waltz by

who looks like a vicious, loner killer

with emotional issues.

You're kidding me, right?

This guy could be anybody.

You got another picture I can look at?

Anything?

Well, ifyou see anyone, just give me a call.

-Hey. Before we go...

-What? What?

What are we having for dinner tonight?

Making something good?

I don't know yet.

-You don't have to cook tonight.

-No, I want to.

Okay. Laundry time first, though.

IP came up with a name.

Son of a b*tch!

"Philip Markoff, residing in Quincy, Mass."

Are you kidding me?

I mean, come on, you put a baseball cap

on that freak, we've definitely got our guy.

He's a med student at B.U.

Four hundred and seventy-eight friends.

Who the hell would want 478 friends?

"Religious views: It's complicated."

"Relationship status: Engaged."

Quite a catch, this fella!

We can always bring him in, question him.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We...

We stop by, he's not there.

He hears we showed up, he's off to Brazil.

I don't want to spook him.

You know, we just sit tight,

keep him under surveillance,

get a positive lD from the masseuse

and nail him.

And the hunt for the so-called

"Craigslist Killer" is intensifying,

with police hoping to catch him

before he strikes again.

Jeff Rossen has the latest now from Boston.

See? This is way better.

The police are literally

going hotel to hotel now

here in the Boston area...

Wow, this is everywhere.

...showing these surveillance photos around.

That could be anybody.

They're worried

he's planning his next attack.

-I'm gonna be right back.

-Yeah, are you all right?

Yeah.

Over the weekend,

investigators pored through nearly two...

if you're still mad, i'd just rather

we called the whole thing off.

You certainly have an...

-Until i met you...

-Hey, you know what?

...i didn't know it was possible either.

Let's get out of here.

-What?

-I don't know. Let's go somewhere, yeah?

You and me, right now.

I'm getting my cabin fever.

Those crazy stories on the news,

and we've been studying so much...

I know, but I have an exam,

and if I want to reapply to med school,

I can't fail my senior year.

Okay, then we'll just...
