Craigslist Killers

Recently I have seen two articles on CNN that talk about how people who responded to an ad on Craiglist have suddently gone missing and died or been seriously injured.  Just the other day, 7 month pregnant, Michelle Wilkins responded to an ad for baby clothes.  She went over there and was stabbed in the stomach and had her fetus ripped out.  She lost her unborn baby and almost  her own life.

Wilkinss was bleeding profusely but still was able to call the police.  She was able to tell them the location of where she was and the dispatcher stayed on the phone until the police found her.  This arguably saved her life.  She is in critical but stable condition and is improving each day.

Dynel Lane, 34, a former nurse aide, is being held on $2 million bail while prosecutors weigh charges against her, including murder. Lane is accused of stabbing Wilkins and removing a female fetus. The murder charge would reportedly depend on whether the fetus was old enough to have lived outside of her mother's body.

I find it very creepy and unsettling that all this innocent, pregnant woman was trying to do was buy clothes for her unborn baby.  It makes me sad that society has become so untrustworthy.  Technology has opened a world of amazing things, but also a door to have something as horrible as this stabbing happen.
