What’s next? No more ’Net?
“Hi! My girlfriend Morgan, the massage therapist will be visiting Boston Monday 4/13 (available from 1-11 p.m.); Tuesday 4/14 from 7 a.m.-11 p.m.; and Wednesday 4/15 from 7 a.m.-noon checkout!)

Be sure to INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER; I do not give out a contact number until you have provided yours! Kisses XOXO Morgan & Mary,” according to a copy of the e-mail obtained by ABC News.
It was during her hours Tuesday at the Copley Marriot Hotel, where Brisman checked in as Mary Anne Smith, that she was shot through the heart and bludgeoned to death during what police believe was a botched robbery attempt.
In the gruesome aftermath of that murder, there have been calls to shut down Craigslist — a ludicrous response to an apparent psychopath’s rampage. Brisman did not just advertise on Craigslist. She had ads on Escorts.com, Eros.com and other pornography sites.
Meanwhile, during a jailhouse visit, Markoff — who is in an isolation unit under suicide watch after Suffolk County deputy sheriffs found “shoelace marks” on his neck, ABC News reported last week — told his family to “forget about him.”
“He told them that there ‘was more coming out.’ It is unclear if he meant more victims or more evidence,” said a law enforcement source familiar with the visit, which was monitored by Nashua Street jail personnel.
This case is not about Craigslist putting people in danger. It is about an apparent gambler who carried a gun and preyed on the vulnerable.
