17YO Traced To Craigslist Ad Hoax

A Craigslist ad offering a 4-year-old boy for sale has been traced to a 17-year-old Sandpoint boy. The Sandpoint Police Department linked the boy to the ad after the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office obtained Internet Provider address information indicating the ad was posted from a computer in that area, Sgt. Dave Reagan said today. Investigators believe the ad was a hoax. “That’s all we wanted to do - find out how posted it and if it was a hoax,” Reagan said. The boy is being investigated for possible criminal charges, said Sandpoint police Lt. Corey Coon/Meghann M. Cuniff (pictured), Sirens & Gavels. More here.
