Rhode Island will heap more charges on alleged Craigslist killer Philip Markoff today, the Boston Globe reports, accusing him in the attempted robbery of a stripper at a motel last month. Officials say Markoff’s fingerprints and text messages put him at the scene, where he allegedly tried to rob a woman he’d met on Craigslist. Markoff likely won’t be brought to Rhode Island until after his Boston murder trial, WJAR-TV adds. (More Philip Markoff stories.)
