Norma Ramos, of Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, said that stepped into the market for sex ads that Craigslist left behind. "Whatever survival mechanism women have on the street – getting a bad vibe from someone or whatever it is – is diminished."Ĭraigslist was formerly one of the most active online sites for adult service ads, but dropped such ads from its site after pressure from Congress and attorney generals after it, too, was linked to a series of murders. "Prostitution is a dangerous activity to begin with, but with this site there is no face to face interaction until a guy shows up at a motel door," he said. Ken Franzblau, a consultant on anti-trafficking at the woman's rights group Equality Now said the website makes it easier for violent criminals to target sex workers. Campaigners, who have so far concentrated their efforts against the site on the impact it has on children, say it also gives a platform for traffickers to offer underage children for sex. Previous protests against the listings include a letter by 51 attorney generals, a full page ad in the New York Times and the recent picketing of the Village Voice offices in New York by a coalition of women's rights, anti-trafficking groups and prominent campaigners including Gloria Steinem. However, news that Alston had placed an ad on, managed by Phoenix-based publisher Village Voice Media, has reignited calls for it to shut down its adult online listing.Ĭritics say the site makes it easier for violent individuals to target women who work in the sex industry. "We have not made a direct link at this time but we are considering any and all possibilities" said a spokeswoman for police investigating Alston and her daughter's killing in Columbia. No suspects have yet been identified in any of the cases, a police spokewoman said, and there is no suggestion that the killings in South Carolina and Michigan are in any way connected. Police have issued warnings to women in the area against setting up meetings with strangers online. They have not said which three had dealt with the website, and relatives of Landers and Hunt, who described them as "good girls", have said neither were escorts. Three of them, police said, had placed online ads dealing with "prearranged adult dating services" on. However, the fact that Alston had posted to brought to mind four more recent killings, several states away.Ī month ago, hundreds of miles north in Detroit, Michigan, the bodies of four young women were found in pairs in the trunk of burnt out cars, a week apart. As police released new details they hoped might help to find the killer of Candra Alston, 25, and her little girl Malaysia Boykin this week, they confirmed for the first time that they were exploring the possibility of a link to .ĭetectives in Columbia, who said this week that a computer and other items were missing from Alston's apartment, have never revealed how she or her daughter were killed. ![]()
