Craiglist is a website dedicated to … well anything.

You can find there information related to jobs, services, goods, housing, romance, local activities, and even advices, all covering 450 cities worldwide.

What started back in 1995 as an email list of SF events became one of the largest online communities.

Craig Newmark is the founder.

This is a recent true story that goes like this:

Recently a 24-year old girl from Minnesota answered a nanny job advertised on the website, and later she was found killed in her car, more exactly in the truck.

Police has found her Friday night in a park, at 15 miles south of Minneapolis.

Last time Katherine Ann Olson was seen alive was on Thursday when she left to meet a couple who recently relocated to the area and needed a babysitter.



The suspect for placing the ad on the website is a 19-year old man and was caught by the police at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where he worked.

According to the police, Olson had previously posted other 2 announcements from which one in Turkey, searching for nannies.

Being a very large online community, it can’t be controlled totally and so anyone can post any kind of announcement.

You can encounter even adult services and lots of scams, but it is the first time a murder happens.

Craig Newmark regrets what happened and had expressed his sincere condolences saying that “This is a real tragedy and we're more eager than ever to help deal with the bad guy."
