'False prophet' killed three men after luring them with hoax Craigslist ad, jury hears in murder trial

A self-proclaimed street preacher accused of killing three men who answered a Craigslist ad for a non-existent job, preyed on people who were down on their luck, a prosecutor said yesterday. In opening statements, special prosecutor Emily Pelphrey, of the Ohio Attorney General's office, called Richard Beasley a 'false prophet' who took advantage of his victims by giving them 'a message of hope and change and a new start in life.' Beasley, 53, is charged with the murder of three men, two of whom were apparently lured by the Craigslist ad.
