A Georgia couple’s journey to their dream car came to a tragic end earlier this year, when they were shot to death.

Elrey “Bud” Runion and his wife June Runion were found shot in the head on Monday, January 26th, in McRae, Georgia.

The couple had responded to an ad posted on craigslist, an online classified ad service. Their goal was to purchase a 1966 Ford Mustang, a car that, according to Runion’s daughter Stephanie Bishop, Runion had owned when he returned from fighting in Vietnam but later sold.

The alleged seller of the vehicle was  Ronnie Adrian “Jay” Towns, 28, of McRae, Georgia. However, the couple never got the chance to purchase their vehicle.

According to ABC News, “Authorities said there’s no evidence Towns owned the sort of classic car that the Runions wanted to buy.”

Towns turned himself in on Monday, just before noon, and is currently in police custody. When the police interviewed Towns, they found the information he provided to be “false and deceptive”, according to CNN.

This is not the only instance of a buyer being victimized on craigslist. All around the country people are lured into killings and robberies through this website.

Fox News says “Authorities charged two reputed gang members in Los Angeles with robbing and killing a man who police say was lured to his death with a Craigslist ad and gunned down on Oct. 19, 2013, in front of his 15-year-old son.”

Caution, these events clearly show, must be used when communicating on any online website. Smallbusiness.com recommends always trying to mett with a buyer or seller in a public setting, tell someone where you are going and who you are meeting, and to never share personal information online. While Craigslist doesn’t want people to be afraid to use the website, administrators do also warn buyers and sellers to take caution when meeting someone over a product.
