Police locate 2nd man allegedly lured to Edmonton garage:

I’m sure a lot of you have heard about the murder of John Brian Altinger. In October he was lured to the garage of Edmonton filmmaker Mark Andrew Twitchell where it’s alleged that Twitchell stabbed Altinger to death.

The reason the murder made headlines outside of Canada is Twitchell was a fan of the TV show Dexter which focuses on a forensic worker who is also a vigilante serial killer.

It’s alleged that Altinger was lured to his death under the pretense that he was about to meet a woman.

What none of the media are telling us is that according to a blogger at Smut and Steff who knew Altinger is that the site he met the ‘woman’ over was craigslist.

That would make the third confirmed murder where craigslist was involved in some way.

Teen sentenced to juvenile detention for killing man who paid her for sex:

A 16-year-old craigslist prostitute was sentenced to juvenile detention for the fatal stabbing of a Kent, Washington man.

Prosecutors say that there was a possibility that the man attacked the girl who was 15 at the time.

Jeanette Pena, the ex-wife of victim Francisco “Noe” Pena, told the girl, “you took my best friend of 26 years. I don’t think you understand what you have done … He was a very good man.”

I hate to speak ill of the dead but if he was getting underage hookers he wasn’t as good a man as you hoped.

According to the girl Pena wouldn’t let her leave without having sex.

The girl has an extensive criminal record but no charges for prostitution.

The girl’s maternal grandmother said in an interview that the girl struggled with a difficult childhood and had mental and dependency problems that were never addressed by the juvenile courts system.

But no one in this story could be considered a victim right? Or how about everybody in this story is a victim?

Gang members wanted for Craigslist ad assault arrested:
Last week I posted about gang members Tuan Q. Vuu and Keith E. Brakes who were wanted for the shooting, stabbing, and robbery of an Olympia, Wash. craigslist seller. Last I heard they were still on the run. That much has changed. Vuu and Brakes were picked up police sometime last week.

The attack might have been a “setup” — a retaliation by members of the True Brothers, or “Tin Bahn,” gang in Olympia who thought the victim had robbed their friends in Tacoma, police said.

Police also believe 16-year-old Jimmy Trac who was already in police custody was the getaway driver.
