Nine days ago, a disturbing missive appeared on the Craigslist page for Tulsa, Okla.
“I was wanting to thank Tulsa for letting me have my first kill,” the post begins. “It will not be my last thou (sic).”
The post has since disappeared from Craigslist, but not from the radars of concerned Oklahomans. A spokeswoman for the Tulsa Police Department said an investigation is ongoing. The homicide squad has found no open cases matching the murder described in the post, at least not within the past few months; they haven’t ruled out the possibility that the post is a prank or a hoax.

The Senate has been pushing for stricter regulations on sex trafficking and the adult, consenting sex industry. Due to the Senate passing their H.R.1865 bill, or Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), which is an anti-online sex trafficking bill, the online ad-posting site Craigslist had to shut down all of their personal sections.
There's a new marketplace in town and its name is Facebook Marketplace. That's right, that Facebook.
