The Craigslist Killer

Here is a link to the full story from ABC news that we looked at briefly in class today. And here's another, from the day before, from the New York Times. Here's what I found particularly interesting about the Times article:
Abby Goodnough reported from Boston, and Anahad O’Connor from New York. Reporting was contributed by Nate Schweber in Albany; Ariana Green in Ledyard, Conn.; David R. Kocieniewski in Long Branch, N.J.; Coleen Dee Berry in Little Silver, N.J.; and Al Baker in New York.
This is what we can't afford to lose -- if and when the newspaper as we know it goes the way of the passenger pigeon -- news gathering organizations. Seven reporters in seven different locations, to report on one story.

Media is meant to be meretricious!
if only they put this much effort and collaboration into solving problems rather than reporting them.

I feel bad for Markoff's fiance, although I must admit, she doesn't seem that bright. Either that or she's just very naive. I mean, honestly, how could she not realize that he was out committing these crimes, while he was staying in hotels with her? Either she is a horrible judge of character or he is a wonderful actor. I don't know. Either way this is such a weird story. And how gross is that, that he saved the women's underwear... nasty.
