Looking at the title I was baffled, asking myself before I even read the article if this was for real. They say that a man in Australia lured an 18 year old girl by facebook and then killed her. Christopher James Dannevig who is the suspect of the case, created a fake facebook profile and advertised that he was a manager of an animal rescue service and offered the girl a job. This is a troubling case because millions of people are on facebook, and this social network is the largest in the country with competition with myspace. For most reasonable people we would not fall into a trap like this one, but what about the ones that do not see an invitation like the one in this case to be suspicious? With a growing population of people joining these social networks that has made so many people happy by being able to connect while not being able to see each other on a normal bases, the risks of people like Christopher trying to commit crimes like this is also growing. How many possible kidnappings, rapes, murders are in the works right now by these sick people? Time can only tell.
