The Craigslist Killer: Anatomy of a Double Life

By Brian W. Trent

In April 2009, a series of violent attacks arranged through Craigslist shook Boston and captured national attention. At the center of the storm stood Philip Markoff-an intelligent, clean-cut medical student with a seemingly perfect future. To the outside world, he was a brilliant scholar, a devoted fianc , and a man destined for success. Behind closed doors, he lived a secret life of compulsion, risk, and escalating violence.
The Craigslist Killer: A Study in Deception, Dual Lives, and Digital Crime unravels the chilling story of how a promising young man descended into criminal darkness. Through meticulous research, psychological insight, and a careful examination of digital footprints, this book explores the intersection of technology, anonymity, and human behavior.
This is not just the story of a Crime, it is the story of a society learning to navigate a new digital frontier, where trust is fragile, and danger can hide behind a screen.
