Craigslist is a website that has gotten a lot of exposure lately. Unfortunately not for good reasons either. I use this site a lot to look up jobs or part-time positions if I need extra money. Lately though it has been in the news because of other services that are offered.
About a month ago Craigslist was in the news for a prostitution ring. Just recently though a man has been accussed of luring women from Craigslist to hotel rooms and robbing them. He is currently in the news because his last victim fought back and ended up dead. It seems that he was in trouble with a large gambling debt and he was trying to get money from these women. Unfortunately crime does not pay. Now he is sitting in jail waiting for his trial date. It’s so unfortunate that a website that offers services such as job postings, etc. can end up causing someone their life.
