Craigslist Killer's Fiancee Stands By Her Man

Yesterday in my post about the wedding band I was kind of making light of the fact that by reading between the lines it sounded as if Megan McAllister and her family had not given up on the wedding, just that it wasn't going to happen in August. I was just having fun with the words, but it turns out that I was right. Despite the fact that Phillip told his family to give up on him, and that more news was coming and they should move to California, Megan just keeps standing by her man.

In a way it is really admirable and shows that when she loves someone she doesn't let something like murder charges get in the way of that love. So, I'm guessing a fight about leaving the toilet seat up is not going to cause a divorce.

That is the positive. On the negative, it is really starting to be creepy. She released a statement that her father read yesterday. I'm assuming her dad or her mom or someone in the family must be rational, but they really do think he is innocent. Does her dad? He read the statement and I would think he would have tried to talk her out of the statement if he thought the guy was guilty.

Here is what she said yesterday.

"To me and my family, he is a loving and caring person and in the eyes of the law and the constitution, he is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," she said in a statement Monday. "I just can only hope that the criminal justice system will not be overwhelmed and persuaded by what is being put forth in the media. In the past two short weeks, my life and what I hoped my life to be has dramatically changed. I also love my fiancé and I will continue to support him throughout this legal process."

I don't think she has been questioned by the police yet. That is supposed to happen this week. I'm guessing when they start asking her questions and showing her or telling her things that all of this support might slowly fade away into nothingness. I understand that this is a huge shock for her and if true, probably would make her feel stupid for not seeing it because this is the guy she was supposed to marry. As long as she holds out hope he is innocent than she doesn't have to look in the mirror. That has to be a very painful proposition and so I sympathize with why she is holding off on doing that.

I Wonder If They Got Their Deposit Back

The B Street Band was scheduled to perform at the Craigslist killer's wedding later this summer, but a family member of the bride told the band there was no possibility of the wedding taking place in August. So, let's take a look at what the family member said. Obviously they think Phillip Markoff is still going to be in jail, and so yeah, I'm guessing a judge isn't going to let him go out and enjoy his wedding day. Apparently if Phillip and his bride to be, Megan McAllister are going to get married in prison, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band is not really necessary. That is a really odd choice for a wedding. A Bruce Springsteen tribute band.

The family member was filled with some optimism though when they said the wedding wouldn't take place in August. I would have said something like there is no way this wedding is ever going to happen. Remember this is a family member of the bride. Don't you think you would have said, there is no way in hell she is ever marrying that guy so give us our deposit back. They didn't though, so I'm guessing someone someday thinks it might happen.

Well, considering Phillip told his family to be prepared for other surprises that will be discovered, I think Megan might want to hold off on hiring a new caterer.

Craigslist Killer Doesn't Look Like A Killer

When I first read about the Craigslist killer I thought he would be this guy who barely had any money and was trolling for hookers and escorts on Craigslist while using the free computer at the public library. Instead, he turned out to be the kind of guy you would find in a John Sandford novel. I mean look at the guy. This is the kind of guy who is the right answer when you read a mystery novel, but the one you never expect.

Can you imagine if he had not been caught and actually finished his medical degree and became a doctor? That turns into an entirely different kind of movie at that point.

His fiancee' is sticking by him today and saying he couldn't possibly have done the things he is accused of doing. I'm guessing he was Mr. Goody Boy around her and saved the crazy stuff for the women he met off the internet.

So far, Philip Markoff, has been charged with the April 14 fatal shooting of masseuse Julissa Brisman, 26, at Boston's Marriott Copley Hotel. He also is expected to be charged in the April 10 armed robbery and kidnapping of a woman who was tied up at the Westin Copley. She identified her attacker to police as a clean-cut, 6-foot-tall blond man who bound her with plastic cord.

You know there are probably others. There has to be. I wonder if something happened to him as a kid? Of course his friends are no help because they say the same thing whenever they know a murderer.

"He seemed like a nice guy, and he was a helpful, smart kid."

What about his fiancee'? She will get probably stop defending him pretty soon, but can you imagine in a few years when she is dating someone? They go to Google Megan McAllister and everything that comes up is about the Craigslist Killer. Yeah.
