media frenzy

I find alotta cool shit on the internet. This is where I put it all.

Craigslist Nanny Found Dead in Car Trunk

Katherine Olson was last seen by friends when she went to meet someone about a nanny job posted on Craigslist.org. A day later, her body was found in her car at a Minnesota nature preserve. Authorities say a 19-year-old man who they believe placed the fake ad is being held pending charges. Olson’s family said she had taken nanny jobs at least twice before after answering online ads.

Whats crazy about this story is I am a nanny, I’ve used craigslist to find 3 of my nanny jobs, and still was using it to find a babysitting job for while I’m at Marist. In fact, I was even on the site searching for a job just last week when I was bored in class. People need to stop beleiving what they see/read on the internet, especially on craigslist. People need to learn to be more LITERATE when using these forms of media.
