The Dark Side Of Craigslist

Surviving A Craigslist Killer

When Scott Davis responded to a Craigslist ad about a potential job, he did not know what he was getting himself into. He got into a truck with a man named Jack and his nephew, who drove him into the country, as Davis believed he was going to do farm work. When they came to a remote area, Davis was ordered to get out of the car, when they began to shoot him. Luckily, Davis escaped and lived to tell his tale.

Four weeks later, “Jack” was revealed to be Richard Beasley and his young accomplice was 16-year-old Brogan Rafferty. They had been luring men out to the woods with fake job offers on Craigslist and murdering them — they had already done so a total of three times. Rafferty, in addition to providing transportation, helped Beasley dig holes and conceal the dead bodies.
