Woman Arrested in Murder Case:

To my knowledge, this is the first post I’ve made that links a murder to the Village Voice Media-owned Backpage.com.

The body of Jiro Kanazawa was found in a Nashville motel. He allegedly responded to a Backpage ‘escort’ ad placed by 21-year-old Courtney Hambric. Kanazawa was shot and killed after an alleged burglary attempt. Police in Nashville have arrested Hambric but police are looking for Harold Doss and Christopher Doss and a third unidentified man.

No matter what side you are on of a prostitution transaction you are taking your life in your hand.

In typical fashion, I haven’t seen any comments from Village Voice Media. Nor have I seen the mainstream media coming down on Backpage like they have on craigslist, not that craigslist doesn’t deserve it. Also, no headlines decrying these suspects as The Backpage Killers.
