More Charges To Come In Craigslist Case

CBS News has learned the Rhode Island Attorney General's office will announce more charges and begin extradition proceedings early this week for Philip Markoff, the 23-year-old medical student alleged to have committed a string of crimes against women after meeting them through the online classified site, Craigslist.

Markoff is expected to be charged with the robbery of a stripper who was held at gunpoint in a Warwick, Rhode Island motel room. Police have reported that fingerprints in the hotel room matched Markoff's, reportsCBS News' Fred Balboni.

Markoff is currently being held in a Boston jail, charged with the April 14 murder of 25-year-old Julissa Brisman, an erotic masseuse beaten and shot to death in a Boston hotel room, as well as the robbery of another masseuse he met four days earlier in a different hotel.
