Even if you’ve never bought or sold anything online before, or happen to live in one of the increasingly few countries where it isn’t available, chances are you’ve heard of Craigslist. The online classified ads site/internet bulletin was first created in 1995, but began rapidly expanding to new cities in the early 2000’s to the point where it became a household name in many places across the world.
However, like anything new that becomes popular that quickly, it didn’t take long for Craigslist to gain its share of notoriety — as reports began to emerge about the darker side of some of the posts on the website. While many of these were simply people using the site for run of the mill illegal activity, such as advertising sex work or dealing drugs, a few others realized that they could use Craigslist to commit crimes that were truly sinister.
Today, we wanted to look at a few of these cases, focusing on stories of disturbing crimes that were committed using Craigslist.
