It certainly didn’t take the folks at Lifetime long to cash in on the jailhouse suicide of Philip Markoff, aka the Craigslist Killer.

Barely four months after the accused killer used a plastic bag and a makeshift shiv to end it all, the so-called “network for women” is breathlessly rushing the movie “the//craigslist.killer” to your living room. And it’s every bit as sleazy as you’d expect.

No gory detail is spared in the depictions of his alleged crimes or his Aug. 15 suicide at the Suffolk County Jail in Massachusetts. Beyond being a money-grabbing offense to the families involved, including Markoff’s, the movie shows little determination to explain the budding physician’s pathology beyond the well-publicized fact that Markoff needed money to feed his gambling habit. And the best way to get that cash, we’re told, was by robbing sex-trade workers because of their reluctance to go to the police.
