This week on Crime with a K, we uncover the details of the heartbreaking murder of Katherine Ann Olson, a vibrant young woman whose life was tragically cut short after responding to a Craigslist ad. In 2007, Katherine's search for a part-time job led her into the home of Michael Anderson, a man who was online posing as a mom named Amy looking for babysitting services. Katherine's death played a major role in the cautions that people now take when meeting up with someone online, and the reason as to why Katherine was murdered, is still unclear.
