In fact, he finished college in just three years, graduated summa cum laude and was accepted to medical school at top-ranked Boston University. By , Markoff was a second-year medical student and was planning a wedding to Megan McAllister, his college girlfriend. It was supposed to be a lavish sunset ceremony at a beach resort in New Jersey. The press pursued her, but she stayed mostly out of sight. Still, McAllister, who had been dating Markoff for three years, came quickly to his defense after his arrest, writing reporters, "This is not the Philip Markoff that I know … Philip is a beautiful man inside and out and would not hurt a fly.
McAllister's father, Jim, spoke to reporters in front of the family home two days after Markoff's arrest, telling them, "She's still confident in Phil…. Police were making it more difficult for people to remain confident in Markoff. They said they found the gun that killed Julissa Brisman in Markoff's apartment.
The gun was hidden inside a hollowed-out book - a copy of "Gray's Anatomy" - the basic reference for all doctors and medical students. Hollowing Out "Gray's Anatomy".

I was able to escape upstairs. When asked if Markoff ever apologized to her, Houston replied, "No, I'm not sure he ever mentioned it… It was awkward. I just wanted to forget about it. It wasn't the Phil I knew I chalked it up to the alcohol. The day after Markoff's arrest, a report surfaced that he had traded e-mails with a transvestite advertising on Craigslist. Following up on the e-mail address Markoff reportedly used - "sexaddict"- Huff said he made a startling discovery.
One of the profiles Huff found for "sexaddict," believed to be Markoff, was on Alt. It lists among his interests: And it's not an isolated entry.

It looks like Markoff was all over the Internet. Huff said Markoff also had profiles on gayclublist. When asked how certain he is that the profiles are Markoff's, Huff replied, "All the evidence points to him. The person posting had the same birth date as Markoff.

Of course, he had the similar handles, the sexaddict handle. Also, the date that the profile had been published was about two years ago. It's hard to fake that. Boston police confirmed a torso photo featured on Alt. The secret profiles and his alleged solicitation of a transvestite suggest to psychologist Casey Jordan that Markoff's public persona was at war with his deeper desires. But what it does is very often cause, what we call in criminology, a fractured identity. That conflict can actually result in violence.
