Edit:
I had to change the title. And before I get another legal letter from some idiot who doesn't understand sarcasm, I know Craigslist has nothing to do with the death of this woman, but I figured I might as well blatantly state what they are hinting at. Seriously, since this is being widely reported, have any other of you watched you lame-ass local news team do an "investigative report" on on-line bulletin boards and how to protect yourself from being murdered and shoved in the trunk of your own car? Ridiculous.

I’ll be back with his sentence, hope it’s the death penalty! Do they have that in Minnesota? I”ll check that out……

No!! Minnesota abolished the death penalty in 1911, dang it. Some legislators and the governor tried to bring it back in 2004, to no avail… Oh well, then maybe Michael Anderson will receive life w/o possiblity of parole and get IT up the yayhoo every day of his pathetic existence….

How can the first comment on this case be dated April 2009 when the Ms Olson is a year and a half reported dead?
Such a sad story. I sometimes feel I am unnecessarily distrustful of my fellow human beings, but then I read something like this…….

It was a five-hour jury decision that ended in the life prison sentence for a man convicted of murdering victim Katherine Ann Olson. Anderson, dubbed the ‘Craglsist killer’, will serve a life sentence without parole.
