AP source: Craigslist suspect linked to hotel

? A fingerprint has been found linking a medical student accused of killing a masseuse in Boston to a hotel near Providence where another woman claims she was attacked, a law enforcement official said Friday.

The official told The Associated Press that Philip Markoff’s fingerprint was found on a wall of the Holiday Inn Express in Warwick, where a stripper has said she was tied up and held at gunpoint by a man she met through the Craigslist classified ads Web site. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.

Markoff, a Boston University medical student, is charged in the April 14 killing of masseuse Julissa Brisman, a 25-year-old New York City resident who advertised on Craigslist, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place hotel, in the historic Back Bay district. He also is charged in a robbery at a nearby hotel of another masseuse police say he met through the site.
