22-year-old Philip Markoff has been charged in connection with two Craigslist attacks in the Boston area, including the murder of 29-year-old Julissa Brisman.

Juliette Brisman's body was found riddled with bullets inside a Marriott Copley Place hotel hotel room on April 14th.

Philip Markoff is a Boston University medical school student. He has also been charged in an attack on a second woman at the Westin Hotel in Boston on April 10th.

Two days after Juliette Brisman's murder, a third attack occurred at the Warwick (Rhode Island) Holiday Inn Express & Suites. It is unclear whether Markoff has been charged in connection with the Warwick attack.

In these cases it appears Markoff responded to ads the women had placed on Craigslist. These women were also advertising for massage or other sexual or sensual types of services.

Police believe other victims may exist and Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis asked other victim said:

"He is a predator. There may be other victims out there, and we want to help you."

Philip Markoff was apparently engaged to Megan McAllister; he and his fiancee (pictured) have a website here. 115 days to the wedding? Probably not.
