CLEVELAND (Reuters) - A body which may be connected to a phony Craigslist job listing that investigators suspect is behind a deadly crime spree in Ohio was identified on Saturday as 56-year old Ralph H. Geiger.
The body of Geiger, whose last known address was Akron, Ohio, was the third found in Ohio possibly linked to the Craigslist ad.
Authorities believe there is a link after a South Carolina man, Scott Davis, survived a shooting attack in rural Noble County, Ohio on November 6 when he answered an ad looking for a ranch hand. Davis was shot while running away from two men he met when he responded to the ad.
One of the three bodies was found in a shallow grave on November 15 near where Davis was shot, identified as David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Virginia. A second body was found in a shallow grave on November 25 behind a semi-deserted mall in Akron, Ohio.
The third body, Geiger, was also discovered on November 25. A coroner's report released on Saturday said Geiger died of a gunshot to the head. No date of death was given but the report said the body was moderately decomposed. Geiger's family was notified.
After Davis survived the attack, 16-year-old Brogan Rafferty was arrested and charged with attempted murder and murder in juvenile court. His next hearing is December 15.
Another man named by the FBI as a suspect in the shooting, Richard J. Beasley, 52, is in prison in Summit County, Ohio on unrelated drug and prostitution charges.

Update on the OP:
"Ohio will seek death penalty for alleged Craigslist killer"
(Reuters) - Ohio prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for a man suspected of killing three people after they responded to a phony online job ad.
Summit County prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said Monday that her office will be prosecuting Richard J. Beasley, 52, for the murders of three men and the attempted murder of a fourth in the so-called Craigslist case.
Family members Tuesday held a memorial service in Akron, Ohio for one of the three men, Timothy Kern, 47, who was found buried in a shallow grave behind an Akron mall.
Beasley is in custody on non-related drug and prostitution charges. The other alleged suspect in the crimes, 16-year old Brogan Rafferty, has been charged with attempted murder and murder in Noble County.
April Wiesner, spokeswoman for the Summit County prosecutor's office, would not confirm Tuesday whether Rafferty will be prosecuted by their office in Akron, Ohio or if he will be tried as an adult.
