If you thought your week was bad, imagine finding out that the man of your dreams is a murderer. That's exactly what happened to Megan McAllister, the fiancee of Philip Markoff, the alleged Craigslist killer.
Prior to recent days, his bride-to-be thought she was probably one of the luckiest girls on the planet. Markoff is a tall, good-looking All-American type guy, comes from a stellar background and has always been held in the highest esteem by family members, friends and acquaintances. Add to that the fact that he is a med student and you have the "perfect" man.
Except that he isn't.
Markoff evidently has a dark side that his loved ones were either not aware of or were in denial of. When his image was captured via surveillance cameras near the murder location, authorities were able to identify and arrest him. He is also suspected of robbing other Craigslist female advertisers at gunpoint.
His stunned fiancee, family and pals believed Markoff incapable of committing such a deed, but their support may very well fade, in light of cops finding the panties of robbery victims and a handgun, allegedly used in the crimes, inside his apartment.
It is believed that the alleged culprit may have been trying to get money to pay off gambling debts.
