Police hunt Craigslist killer

Authorities identified the body of an Ohio man today who could potentially be the third victim of a bogus Craigslist website ad that lured two jobseekers to their deaths.

The body of Ralph Geiger was found in a shallow grave on November 25 in thesame area another body was found earlier in the month in the heavily wooded area in south-eastern Ohio, Noble County Sheriff Steve Hannum said.

Mr Hannum, under a gag order from a judge, did not say whether Mr Geiger, 56, of Akron, answered the same advert promising farmhand work that authorities say led to the deaths of two other men.

“Recent events of an ongoing investigation led authorities to Mr Geiger’s gravesite,” Mr Hannum said in a statement. He would not comment on the cause of Mr Geiger’s death, but said the investigation is ongoing.
