Florida craigslist jobseeker found dead in Ohio grave

Sounds like a bad made-for-TV movie:
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A jobseeker from Florida who responded to a bogus Craigslist ad for a job on a southeast Ohio cattle farm was found dead, buried in a shallow grave, and another from South Carolina was shot but escaped by running away through the woods, a sheriff said Thursday.

. . .Hannum said the South Carolina man had hidden in the woods for about seven hours with a gunshot wound to his arm.

The man eventually made his way to a house about 2 miles away. He told police he had been walking in a wooded area with one of the men when he heard a gun cock and turned to see a firearm pointed at his head. He pushed it away and ran. He said multiple shots were fired and he was hit once.

The man said he had met the others for breakfast and later rode with them in a vehicle, believing he was headed to the farm, until he was told a landslide had closed the road and entered the woods on foot.

I always figure the bad guys of the world study to perfect their evil. It is amazing how many ways they come up with to get close to a potential victim. :???:

...it's no longer cynical to assume that nothing is what it seems...it's necessary...
