Peaches Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hunt For Craigslist Killer Continues Police across the United States have investigated and cracked down on countless crimes that resulted from in-person meetings among those who begin communicating through the site.

Boston police are investigating the slaying of Julissa Brisman, a 26-year-old from New York City, who had advertised massage services on Craigslist. Brisman's friends have told local and national media that the young woman earned money through a variety of means, including attending parties partially dressed and flirting with men. A massage table was found in the Boston hotel room where Brisman died Tuesday during what police believe was a robbery attempt. Police are investigating the possibility that she worked for an escort service. "There appears to be a psychopath on the loose in the Boston area, and we will of course do everything in our power to assist law enforcement in apprehending the perpetrator as soon as possible," Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said Friday. "Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Julissa Brisman. We are horrified and deeply saddened that our community services have been associated in any way whatsoever with a crime of violence." Many ads on Craigslist for romance and massages are covers for prostitution, but it's still unclear exactly what type of transaction the victim had arranged.
