There are new developments in the search for the "craigslist killer."

Police have released a photo of a man who they believe killed a woman, after luring her to a Boston hotel last week. That woman had advertised massages on craigslist, according to police.

And now another woman advertising in the "erotic services" section of the website has been attacked. Cops say the cases appear to be connected.

    No Way does Craigslist need to be shut down! It is really sad there are people who use it for something other than its intended purposes, however, isn't that life?

    The internet in general is a place where the criminal mind can take advantage of people who are not careful. I am saddened by this event, but I am certainly not surprised and would never advocate stopping the entire website because of this.

    If you don't want to see the ads, then for heaven's sake STOP reading them! The on/off button on the computer works wonders..(smile)

    Craigslist needs to be shut down.. there are illegal escorts like this on that site in EVERY city. It is the worst thing they ever came up with- letting hookers and escorts put ads in there for sex day after day.. Someone needs to shut this site down. This was not the 1st and want be the last murder because of this site until the site is gone..
