Women Murdered Via Craigslist

A Minnesota women, Kathrine Ann Olson, was found dead in the trunk of her car late Friday, murdered after answering an ad on Craigslist.

Officers in Savage, Minnesota, found Olson's vehicle and body in Burnsville Park after an officer earlier discovered her purse in a near by Pacer Park garbage can.

Olson had gone to Savage to interview for a nanny job she found posted on the popular online classified site Craigslist.org. She had taken at least two nanny jobs before, using Craigslist, including one in Turkey.

Police Capt. David Muelken reported that they have a 19 year old male in custody in connection with the murder. They would not, at this time, release the man's name, a possible motive, or how Olson was killed.

"We're confident we have the suspect in custody," Muelken told the Associated Press, saying that charges should be filed by Sunday.
