Man Charged In Craigslist Killing
 
Michael John Anderson is accused of shooting Katherine Ann Olson in the back at his home in suburban Savage, according to the criminal complaint filed in Scott County District Court.

Bail was set at $1 million.

Olson had gone to Anderson's home Thursday to inquire about a baby-sitting job she had seen advertised on the popular Internet bulletin board Craigslist, authorities said.

Authorities said her blood was found in Anderson's home and a gun was found in his bedroom.

A neighbor saw Olson's car sitting in front of Anderson's house for more than two hours Thursday, the complaint said.

The body of the 24-year-old Minneapolis woman was found Friday night in the trunk of her car, which was abandoned in a park about five blocks from Anderson's home.

Olson's purse and a bag containing bloody towels, one of which bore Anderson's name, were found in trash nearby.

Anderson has been in the Scott County Jail since his arrest late Friday.

Cell phone records indicated he talked with Olson on Thursday morning, the court documents said. Anderson also said he had not used Craigslist since January, although the e-mail address in the ad matched his address.

He told police his mother and three friends had access to the account.

When confronted with evidence, Anderson admitted he was present during Olson's slaying but said the killing was committed by a friend of his who "thought it would be funny," according to the complaint.

That is a very tragic story - but I don't think craigslist is to blame. He could have posted anywhere - or put up a "help wanted" sign at a laundrymat or a classified in a newspaper.
