Could it be Philip Markoff, the man accused of being the ‘Craiglist Killer’ was/is actually a BlackBerry user? And could it be that his own BlackBerry device was a large part of bringing him to justice? It’s looking that way. You may have noticed on TV news all over North America (and no doubt the world) Mr. Blurrycam images of Markoff clutching onto his BlackBerry. In fact, in the image above you can see what appears to be Markoff doing some impromptu texting on-the-go. Look at those thumbs. A telltale sign of texting.
The Boston Herald has reported that Markoff’s online trail is what did him in. Investigators followed and checked out high-tech leads and traced IP addresses to actual locations in the real world.
Arraignment is scheduled for today, so I’m sure we’ll learn more on this one soon. If found guilty, I doubt he’ll get any reception in prison.
