Case File | God Hook: The Ohio Craigslist Killings

Obviously, most of us don’t use the internet as a search engine for murder. But there are bad apples in every bunch. Richard Beasley was one of those bad apples. When he decided he wanted to kill people, he sought the desperate, the lonely, and the forgotten. And thanks to modern technology, there was one place he could go to cast as wide a net as possible: Craigslist. On her show, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello traces the origins of this serial killer, and the lives of the people touched by his evil.
