PHILIP MARKOFF: Alleged Craiglist Killer Solicited Sex From Men On Craigslist (VIDEO REPORT)

The bizarre case of alleged Craigslist killer Philip Markoff may have taken a strange turn with new reports that Markoff was trolling Craigslist for sex with men and transsexuals. The "Today Show" filed this report on the new developments, citing documents and an interview with an anonymous man who said that he exchanged explicit photos and messages with Markoff and that Markoff contacted him after the man posted an ad on Craigslist under "M4T," which stands for male looking for transsexual.

Watch the video report from the "Today Show" below.

I believe Ms. McAllister was unaware of Markoff's activities on the side. But, I still can not understand how an obviously intelligent and per her attorney strong young woman be so oblivious? Maybe she was too busy making wedding plans and going to med. school. But still....

[Begbie]

The sociopath warned his family more is going to come out... good god. Reminds me a bit of the Paul Bernado, Karla Homolka married couple up in Canada about 12 years ago who lured girls (one being the sister of Homolka) to rape and kill them. Some people appear perfect on the outside, but deadly on the inside.. Good thing he was caught

[bibimimi]

This guy had some MAJOR ya-yas. His intended bride should be grateful for this turn of events, however lurid they be.

[havegonedc]

Another glaring example of what happens when self-hating gay people make the stupid choice to "STAY IN" the closet because they cannot accept who they are and instead pretend to be someone society says they should be...

Everything about that persons life becomes one lie after another after another... until someone gets hurt or killed.

And SHAME on any real gay man who answers "married guy for sex" ads on the internet.
YOU are an enabler and equally guilty of the misery that results.

[poeticjustice4all]

Nonsense. How in the world would you know if this man was gay, straight or something in between?

Apparently he was contacting men as well as women -- but that says nothing about his orientation. His plan may well have been to fake an interest in men just to set them up for a robbery.

[Wiseronenow]

Sounds like the robberies were a cover for his confused sexual orientation. And, when the sexual urges became stronger than anything else, he murdered out of his own self-imposed shame.

[Discotrish]

Well wasn't it the robbery, killing, and sex trolling that turned him from upstanding to, whatever downstanging? Or not upstanding? How is it hypocritical for people to assume you're a law-abiding citizen and faithful to your financee until you prove otherwise? Generally, I would think criminals would try to hide their life of crime unless living among criminals. That's just common sense, not hypocrisy.

[jalowe1957]

So the "Craig's List Killer" wanted to roll in the hay with men and trannies?

Why is America so obsessed with his sexual pecadilloes?

Me? I have more pressing concerns to deal with, Susan Boyle's modest makeover notwithstanding.

[factotem]

Gee... what a surprise! A conservative who's secretly suppressing his real life as a sex freak. That's only happened about 500 times in the last 30 years.

[Defunct]

Oh good, it was finally happened. They always tie in a "gay" association with these serial killers. It takes the edge off.

[ZimboChick]

Thank u Markoff for stunning your fellow teabaggers....yes those and the new ones

[TheRightListing]

That's classic. He did say that more bad stuff will happen.

Go figure. Who knew that he looked at trannies in his part time. And its so cliche but he REALLY looked like a normal guy and his fiancee is a cute gal.

[tomasedison]

Is the fiancee still standing by her man ?

[poeticjustice4all]

Yes, amazingly she's still standing by her man.

Of course you're innocent until proven guilty -- but no woman is THAT innocent. She may well have some deeper knowledge or involvement with her boyfriend's bizarre crimes

[Henk]

Shhhhh, don't tell his fiancee.

[nmabry]

anyone else thinking..­..."Willia­m Zanzinger killed poor Haiti Carroll/With a cane that he twirled on his diamond ring finger"....it's just the 21st century version.

[auramac]

What?- so he expected her to be a "Him?"...

[birchtree3]

Maybe he just planned to rob them, too.
