A Minnesota teenager has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of a woman who had answered an online classified advertisement for a nanny.
Katherine Anne Olson, 24, of Minneapolis, was shot in the back at the home of Michael John Anderson, 19, in Savage, Minn., where she had gone in response to an ad on craigslist.com. Her body was found in the trunk of her car, which had been abandoned at a park just blocks from Anderson's house.
Anderson says he was present when she was killed, but he says he was slain by a friend "who thought it would be funny."

The murders committed in the mindset of 'I think it'll be fun/funny' are the most troublesome. To know that your life is of little-to-no consequence to some thug will make anyone think twice before trusting other people.
