Murder of Katherine Ann Olson

Michael John Anderson (born October 16, 1988, in Savage, Minnesota) was convicted of having murdered Katherine Ann Olson in October 2007. Because Anderson met Olson through Craigslist, a popular classified advertising website, the media dubbed him a Craigslist Killer, a generic term for murderers who find victims by placing or responding to ads on Craigslist. Anderson was the first killer given this title in news accounts.[1]
