Craigslist ad victim? Police identify another body

By msnbc.com news services

CLEVELAND -- Authorities identified the body of an Ohio man Saturday who could?be the third victim of a bogus Craigslist website ad that lured two jobseekers to their deaths.

The body of Ralph?H.?Geiger, 56,?was found in a shallow grave Nov. 25 in the same area another body was found earlier in the month in the heavily wooded area in southeastern Ohio, Noble County Sheriff Steve Hannum said.

Hannum, under a gag order from a judge, did not say whether Geiger answered the same ad promising farmhand work that authorities say led to the deaths of two other men.

"Recent events of an ongoing investigation led authorities to Mr. Geiger's gravesite," Hannum said in a statement.

The body of Geiger, whose last known address was Akron, Ohio, was the third found in Ohio that might be linked to the Craigslist ad.?

A South Carolina man, Scott Davis, survived a shooting attack in rural Noble County, Ohio, on Nov. 6 when he answered an ad looking for a ranch hand. Davis was shot while running away from two men he met when he responded to the ad.

One of the three bodies was found in a shallow grave on Nov. 15 near where Davis was shot; it was identified as David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Virginia. A second body was found in a shallow grave on Nov. 25 behind a semi-deserted mall in Akron, Ohio.

The third body, Geiger's, was also discovered?Nov. 25. A coroner's report released on Saturday said Geiger died of a gunshot to the head. No date of death was given but the report said the body was moderately decomposed. Geiger's family was notified.

After Davis survived the attack, 16-year-old Brogan Rafferty was arrested and charged with attempted murder and murder in juvenile court. His next hearing is Dec. 15.

Another man named by the FBI as a suspect in the shooting, Richard J. Beasley, 52, is in prison in Summit County, Ohio, on unrelated drug and prostitution charges.

The phony ad was posted on Craigslist Oct. 7 and offered $300 a week to "simply watch over a 688 acre patch of hilly farmland."

The case is under a gag order issued from a judge in Noble County, Ohio but the sheriff's office said they found Geiger's grave site through the ongoing investigation.

There have been several instances in recent years of attackers allegedly finding victims through postings on the classified ad website Craigslist.

In 2009, a former medical student was accused of killing a masseuse he met through Craigslist, and police have been hunting for at least one serial killer in the New York area thought to prey on prostitutes who advertised on the site.

UK expels Iranian diplomats after embassy attack; French, German, Dutch envoys recalled (The Envoy)


After Iranian protesters stormed the British embassy in Tehran Tuesday, British Foreign Secretary William Hague has announced the embassy's closure, with an order for all Iranian diplomats to leave the United Kingdom within 48 hours.

Germany, France and the Netherlands also recalled their envoys from Iran for consultations, the Associated Press reported Wednesday, while Norway said it was closing its Tehran embassy as a security precaution.

Hague, speaking to the British Parliament Wednesday, said that the UK has withdrawn its diplomatic staff and dependents from Iran, and had ordered Iran's London embassy closed, the BBC reported.

"We have now closed the British Embassy in Tehran. We have decided to evacuate all our staff and as of the last few minutes all our UK-based staff have now left Iran," Hague said, according to a statement sent to Yahoo News by the British embassy. "The Iranian Charg? in London is being informed now that we require the immediate closure of the Iranian Embassy in London and that all Iranian diplomatic staff must leave the United Kingdom within the next 48 hours."

"If any country makes it impossible for us to operate on their soil, they cannot expect to have a functioning Embassy here," he said.

Hague said that the actions do not amount to a complete severing of British relations with Iran, but a downgrading to the lowest level of diplomatic relations. There are reportedly some 70,000 Iranian nationals residing in the UK.

France, Germany and the Netherlands recalled their Tehran envoys for consultations Wednesday to strongly protest the attack Tuesday on two British embassy buildings in Tehran by a couple hundred Iranian protesters, while Austria and Italy said they were evaluating such a possible move.

"The French foreign ministry said it was moved to act 'in the face of this flagrant and unacceptable violation of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations and the gravity of the violence,'" the AP reported.

Norway also closed its embassy in Tehran Wednesday amid security concerns, but had not yet decided to evacuate its diplomatic staff, the Associated Press reported.

This piece was updated at 2PM EST with news of the recall of the French, German and Dutch ambassadors to Iran for consultations with their governments.

Court: Appointment of S.Africa prosecutor improper (AP)

JOHANNESBURG ? A top appeals court has ruled South Africa's president acted improperly when he appointed the national prosecutor in a case that has been central to a debate about corruption at high levels of government and political meddling in the fight against crime.

"The president will study the judgment, obtain legal advice and thereafter decide on what course to take," President Jacob Zuma's office said in a terse statement hours after the Supreme Court of Appeals issued its ruling Thursday.

The main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, went to court to challenge lawyer Menzi Simelane's appointment as director of public prosecutions, saying he was unfit for the job and that Zuma, who has faced corruption charges, appointed him because he needed an ally in the prosecutor's office.

"This judgment is a victory for our constitutional democracy," the Democratic Alliance said in a statement.

Zuma can appeal. The Democratic Alliance is calling on him to instead fire Simelane and "appoint somebody who will enjoy the respect and confidence of the legal profession, the judiciary and the people of South Africa."

Just two weeks before the 2009 elections, prosecutors, acknowledging the case had been tainted by political meddling, dropped corruption charges against Zuma. Zuma went on to lead his African National Congress to victory and become president. He appointed Simelane soon after taking office.

A previous national prosecutor, Vusi Pikoli, was pushed out after he pursued corruption charges against the national police chief and Zuma. Pikoli had headed a special crime-busting unit known as the Scorpions that the ANC-dominated parliament dismantled.

Zuma has maintained he was innocent of accusations he sought bribes to thwart an investigation into wrongdoing by a French arms company involved in a massive weapons deal in the late 1990s. The accusations were linked to an international scandal in which tens of millions of dollars allegedly were paid in bribes to secure contracts in the multibillion-dollar arms deal soon after democracy came to South Africa in 1994.

Prosecutors said their case against the man who is now president was solid ? his financial adviser was convicted of soliciting bribes for Zuma from arms dealers. But prosecutors also said key colleagues had abused their powers in pursuing the case by trying to time an announcement of charges against Zuma in a failed attempt to undermine his bid to become party president.

Zuma this year announced that an independent panel of judges with sweeping powers will investigate the arms deal scandal.

Zuma has been accused of acting slowly to confront corruption in his government. After months of calls to act, in October he suspended his national police chief and fired a Cabinet minister after the two were caught up in a scandal over leasing a police headquarters building. Zuma also fired another minister who an independent investigator said used taxpayer money to visit a girlfriend imprisoned in Switzerland.
