A grand jury indicted Gary McGurk for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Michelle Lee. Last month, the body Lee, an NYPD criminalist, was found in her Sunnyside apartment; she was strangled, stabbed in the throat, and burned with an iron.
According to the Daily News, McGurk, an Irish national who plays soccer at John Jay College, "told Lee he was broke and suffering from cancer, and that he could not afford or get medical insurance, so she gave him money. Investigators don't believe Lee was the first to fall for McGurk's con job. McGurk was a 'professional student' who bilked unsuspecting young women to bankroll "his life in the U.S., they said." It's possible that the money was an issue Lee moved out of her parents' house into her own place, though it's "unclear if the violence came to a head because the money was drying up and she asked to be repaid, or because she learned the illness was a hoax and grew tired of his games."
The News adds that on a website, McGurk said of himself, "[I am] my own person and I do not intend to change for anyone. ... I'm capable of switching accents at will. ... I'm an a--hole, no regrets."





"I'm capable of switching accents at will. ... I'm an a--hole, no regrets."
Good so you'll enjoy it when your 250 lb cell mate tells you to talk like bitch cuz he don't fuck with men
Pity. No shortcuts in Life.
Unfortunately, that's the motto of more than a few regulars around here.
Being self deprecating will not earn you extra points.
Oops. In your case the word should probably be oral defecating
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.
A very sad story. It's always "the boyfriend". She helped him, and he kills her.
McGurk conned money out of women by telling them he had cancer and couldn't afford medical insurance?
How could anyone fall for this scam. Wouldn't he have qualified for medicaid?
How could anyone fall for this scam?
Easy. Be one of the millions of people who thinks that just because someone is young, handsome, athletic, and charming, he's naturally noble and trustworthy. Extra points if the person is not only white, but European with a "charming," sexy accent to die for.
Yes, you are indeed an a-hole.
She fell for it because she was infatuated with whitey.
damn tool. nobody deserves to be strangled. her bad judgment notwithstanding.
he's yet another colin ferrel wannabe douchebag. still girls like bad boys.
The only language I'd use with him involves nouns like piano wire, sharp surgical tools and saltwater; a few choice verbs and some very cold modifiers.
What is it with feigning cancer? That must be technique #1 in the grifter handbook.
So, some guy at the NYDN who attends John Jay is claiming that McJerk wrote a play for class about a guy who gets charged for killing his GF. Can you say Class A Sociopath?
I hope the people who feign cancer get real cancer.
I hope he gets anal cancer
What the fuck is this racist bullshit clotting up this post? Michelle Lee was a college-educated Asian-American woman, I'm pretty confident she speak no "Engrish."
Mourn this woman, and damn her murderer, don't resort to some batshit "haw haw asian girl, white guy, get it" racist nonsense.
??!
Half brained walking asswholes...how many out there and seem to start by stabbing those closest to them, that see the very few attributes they have. They are no serious danger for society..naah
Good character is the only value humans really have...those with rotten characters should be out of society.
It's insane that racism against Asian people is so accepted in America. People get fired and ostracized for such insulting comments about African-Americans.
