The Philip Markoff story as told in Herald adjectives

What would the Herald be without its beloved adjectives? I've been reading up on the Philip Markoff case at BostonHerald.com, and here's their basic romance novel/suspense thriller back-cover summary of the players in this sad story:

Philip Markoff is brooding, seemingly clean-cut, clean-cut, dashing, cruel, hateful, creepy and strapping. As a teen-ager, he was geeky, nerdy and gawky but also all-American.

His fiancee is doting, lovesick, beautiful and blond.

As a couple, they are young, upwardly mobile. Their wedding Web site, of course, was too-perfect, and the location they picked for their wedding is picturesque.

What about her father? He's stunned. Also, stoic. What about his grandfather? Doting. And how would one describe the mother of the fiancee's maid of honor to be? Frantic.

What are the corners of Craigslist where Markoff allegedly found his victims?
The darkest and dirtiest.

Meanwhile, murder victim Julissa Brisman was empathetic, a beauty, a Bronx beauty, stunning, wide-eyed and attractive. Her murder was, needless to say, horrifying, but the Herald needed to say it anyway. Also, it was brutal.

What sort of news is it that Markoff allegedly kept panties from his victims? Bombshell.

And what sort of mementos were they? Twisted.
