This guy was apparently murdered while trying to sell his 350z.
We received word tonight from officials in St. Jacob that the body of missing St. Jacob resident Taylor Clark has been found in a shallow grave at a location in Missouri. Our deepest sympathies to the family. We will provide further details as they become available.
Clarks red 2007 Nissan 350ZX was found Tuesday evening in the parking lot of a truck driving school on Missouri Bottom Road in Hazelwood. Clark, 19, from St. Jacob, was last seen Monday morning in Glen Carbon by his girlfriend. Before disappearing, investigators from the Madison County Sheriffs Department say he finished taking his final exams at SIUE and had already paid his tuition for next semester in full.
Investigators say he was trying to sell his car on Craigslist and his most recent cell phone activity was detected in an area near where his car was found.
I always meet at an extremely public place. I sold my kegerator on craigslist and that was the only time I had someone come to my house. I hate hate hated the idea of it, but moving that bitch around by myself is a pain. also. for every one of these, there are millions of successful, non-murderous transactions on craigslist. you only hear about the bad ones.
And on the rare occasions it’s something really awkward to bring to a meet spot and I have someone come to my house it’s always in the garage where I have a human silhouette target that was used for failure drills at the range prominently displayed. It definitely made this hipster who bought my old stereo cabinet uneasy. Maybe that was why he didn’t try to haggle.
Ha! I did the same thing inadvertently. Had a buyer meet me at my house. Shop door was open (selling car parts) and without knowing it had my plastic silhouette target on the bench from zeroing-in two days previous. It was a very smooth transaction.
