This mornings Worcester Telegram detail a major CL bust that nabbed fifty people at a local hotel (unnamed) where the cops were trying to see if the CL Killer could take the bait.  (He didn't.)

Nevertheless, expect other local LE to try the same thing so be triple wary of Craig's List and play safely.

The sting netted both providers and clients, so don't assume they are only trying to nab the client.

Good Grief - the majority of the article is a listing of all involved!

Over 600 provider ads were placed on CL in the Boston area over the weekend!

Actually, every news report I have heard stated that the sting was planned before last week's murder which makes sense on the surface.  I honestly doubt that Worcester LE would set up a sting solely to try and lure one guy who committed a crime in another county and hasn't been reported anywhere near them. It costs money and manpower to do it and no local municipality has extra funds floating around right now.  It's just another Craig's List sting. Actually it seems like Worcester was about due...

I would say that the City of WOrcester has too much money in it's LE Budget. The taxpayers should demand a rebate!
Doesn't the chief have other priorities?
