Twenty-four-year-old Katherine Ann Olson was looking to make extra money babysitting, so she did what many young people do: go to the Web to check job postings on the popular Web site, Craigslist.com. She had success with a job hunt on Craigslist.com before. She worked as a nanny for more than a year.

After finding a listing for a babysitting job last week, authorities believe that Olson headed to a Minneapolis suburb to meet her perspective employer. She never returned home. Police found her body in the trunk of her car Friday night and now have a suspect in custody.

Police arrested a 19-year-old man who may have taken out a false ad on Craigslist and who may have lured Olson to her death. Captain David Muelken said that the man is being held without bond and will be charged with second-degree murder.

Many people use these community Web sites. It’s a quick and easy way to learn about services available in certain cities: dog walkers, apartments for rent, handymen and, yes, babysitters too.
