Erotica Boycott as Craigslist Suspect Held on $1M Bail

First came Craigslist killer No.1, then yesterday we were introduced to Craigslist wannabe-killer No. 2: Shawn T. Skelton, a 24-year-old Kent man who posted an ad seeking an "encounter" with women to have sex with and then kill. Tipped off, the Seattle police went undercover and put the kibosh on that creepy situation. Skelton is now being held on $1 million bail on investigation of attempted murder. A boycott of the erotic services portion of the site has yet to take off. Craig himself says, "It's not happening."
