A Craiglist Date

Donna Jou was a 19-year old college student at San Diego State University.  She met a potential boyfriend on Craigslist named John Steven Burgess.  What she didn’t know is that Burgess was a three time convicted sex offender.  The last time Donna Jou was ever seen was riding away from her home on the back of Burgess’ motorcycle.

Police finally caught up with Burgess two years later in Florida where he was sentenced to a three year sentence for not registering as a sex offender.  The Superior Court of the State of California for the county of Los Angeles charged John Steven Burgess for the disappearance of Donna Jou.

Craigslist Pimp

A 15 year old girl was terribly distraught and decided to run away from her residence in Beaverton, Oregon.  This is never a good idea.  The young teen was taken by a sicko named Deandre Travon Green.  The 25 year-old Green took the young girl to Los Angeles, where he forced her into a life of prostitution.  Green advertised the poor girl on Craigslist of course.  He was sentenced in a federal court to a 70 month prison term and three years supervised release for transporting an individual for illegal sexual activity.
