Detroit Cops Issue Warning After 4 Dead Women Linked To Escort Website!
"Detroit police warned women today against
setting up meetings with strangers over the
Internet after three of four murdered women found
in the trunks of burning cars have been linked to
a nationwide site similar to Craigslist, according
to police.
“We felt it’s imperative to alert the public that
deciding to meet unknown persons via the internet
can be extremely dangerous,” Detroit police chief
Ralph Godbee said. “We implore people to be
careful, let someone know where they’re going, who
they’re with. If you’re arranging something, do it
in a public place.”
The three women had offered escort services on
backpage.com, according to police.
“With the vast increase on utilization of social
media on the Internet we must continue to be
vigilant in identifying any website which may
potentially pose a threat to individuals,” said
Godbee.
Backpage.com is an Internet bulletin board with
listings for everything from child care to auto
parts and forums on numerous topics." - ABC
