Minn - Katherine Ann Olson, 24, had responded to a Craigslist advertisement someone had placed looking to hire a nanny. Olson had positive experiences with Craigslist before, even taking a job in Turkey after responding to an ad placed on the internet bulletin board. The add Katherine was inquiring about in this case, had her driving to Savage, Minn on Thursday morning to talk with her possible employers. Later that day, her purse and a bloody towel were found in a trash can in a Savage park. Her car was found late Friday night in a nature preserve, her body stuffed in the trunk.
Police arrested a 19-year-old Savage man who works at the Minneapolis airport and said they expect to charge him in connection with the murder today. They declined to identify the suspect, but said they believed he placed the online ad. "Katherine was, unfortunately, too trusting," her father said. "She had found benefits on Craigslist, but in her trusting nature, she fell into this trap."

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.
