(Akron, Ohio) A 52-year-old local man, Richard Beasley, and a 16-year-old male high school student have been accused of the aggravated murders of three men in the reputed Ohio Craigslist Killings.Beasley is accused of killing the men in Noble and Summit counties after advertising a cattle ranch caretaker job. The Noble County ranch doesn't exist.The dead victims have been identified as Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon; David Pauley, 51, of Virginia; and Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron. Reportedly, each man was shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave.
A fourth man, Scott Davis, was shot in the arm Nov. 6. He escaped, hid in the woods and made it to a nearby home, where a resident called sheriff's deputies.Authorities have suggested that the motive for the killings may have been robbery or identity theft.
Authorities later tracked down Beasley and arrested the teen after FBI agents interviewed him.

IF its the same family?
I may have known his older brother or cousin. This was back when I was in Jr High School.
I'd have to do a bit of digging to find out for sure.
