(April 27) -- During a jailhouse visit with his family last week, accused Craigslist killer Philip Markoff broke down and told his loved ones to "forget about me," according to media reports.
The story was first reported Saturday by the Boston Herald and was confirmed Monday by ABC News. Both news organizations quote unnamed law enforcement officials.

Markoff also told relatives that "there is more coming out," the Herald and ABC said.

Markoff, a Boston University medical student, is charged in the April 14 shooting death of Julissa Brisman, a woman who advertised massage services through Craigslist. She was killed in a Boston hotel. The New York Times reported Friday that ballistics tests made a preliminary match between a gun found in Markoff's home and the bullets that killed Brisman.
ABC obtained an e-mail that was sent out to Brisman's "regular clients" a few days before she was killed. The message outlined the days Brisman -- who used the name "Morgan" with at least some clients -- would be available in Boston.
Markoff is also charged with robbing another masseuse at a Boston hotel April 10. Police said Markoff met both women through Craigslist.
Markoff has pleaded not guilty in both cases. His lawyer, John Salsberg, has said he is innocent of the charges.

On Friday, The Associated Press reported that a fingerprint linked Markoff to a third attack, one involving a stripper at a hotel in Warwick, R.I. She was bound with a cord and held at gunpoint in her room April 16. The attacker fled when her husband returned to her room, she told police.
The fingerprint was found on a wall at the hotel, the AP said, quoting an unnamed law enforcement official.
Markoff has not been charged in the Rhode Island case.

I sorta disagree, I met my girlfriend online 5 years ago, she's still alive and we're doing fine so your theory that women who meet guys online is bad has been at least debunked by me, I'm the exception, not the rule.

ANYONE WHO IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO MEET SOMEONE ONLINE AND GET INVOLVED WITH SEEING HIM SOMEWHERE IS NUTS. PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE DANGERS THAT CAN COME FROM ONLINE WITH OTHERS. THIS MURDERER IS A MENTALLY SICK INDIVIDUAL AND THERE ARE MANY MORE JUST LIKE HIM ON THE INTERNET. YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT. THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE PUT AWAY FOR THE REST OF HIS INTIRE LIFE OR BE PUT TO DEATH. ONE OR THE OTHER AND I AM SURE HE WILL BE. THIS GUY SHOULD BE A LIVING EXAMPLE TO PEOPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN MEET ONLINE AND MAKE YOU THINK.

I have stated this before, and I will not stop until our Judiciary Committee does something about the high crime rate. When someone has killed another human being what is the purpose of sentencing them to life in prison without parole? They are merely taking up space in our overcrowded jails, and costing us too much money to care for them. BRING BACK THE DEATH SENTENCE, AND USE IT!! NONE OF THIS CRAP WHERE IF YOU ARE SENTENCED TO DEATH, YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY GRANTED AN APPEAL. THESE TAKE MANY YEARS TO BE RETURNED TO COURT AND THEY ARE JUST A WASTE OF MONEY! To send these murderers to jail with the hope of rehabilitation is insanity. When incarcerated, no matter what your crime is, you will come out a worse person than when you went in. The lifers do not care for anything, nor will they care to kill again. After all you cannot sentence them to a longer term than you already have. So these monsters are dangerous on the streets, and in the jails. Start injecting one lifer a day, and ...
