...it's a classified. When somebody posts a classified ad in the local newspaper offering massages and gets killed, it's a murder, not a (scary orchestra music) NEWWWWSPAPER KILLING!!!!
And then you guys feed right into it. What a load of crap.

The headline makes this sound like some sort of craigslist serial murderer

There's no IT angle, so far. When this guy goes to trial, the forensic evidence will turn out to be that his browser cache shows he's been on Craigslist at some point. Big deal.

(you cynical little pr**k)
No, it would probably be referred to as a classified ad killing, much as murders which wouldn't have happened had it not been for road-rage are called roadrage killing, and love-triangle murders are called 'love-triangle murders'.

I thought this was going to be a story about a murderer hiring himself out on Craigslist. Bummer.
On a separate note: "Julissa"? I can just imagine the conversation between the parents:
"Let's call her Julie."
"No, I want to call her Lisa."

That insult stings. If you prick me, do I not bleed?

Damn. I read the headline ("Police charge suspected Craigslist murderer") and thought (hoped?) that someone had murdered Craigslist itself. I was hoping MySpace, Facebook, and Twatter were next. I guess it's true what they say about something that sounds too good to be true...

If he'd not been caught so quickly then he possibly could have been . It still might turn out that he was.

Absolutely. God knows we'd all be better off without free classifieds! I tell you - if I make twenty five bucks spending ten minutes to sell ONE MORE USELESS THING I don't want, I'm going to go nuts! Seriously - when will the madness end?!
