April 29th, 2010: Edgewood, Pierce County, Washington
Jim Sanders opened his door on April 28 to total strangers in hopes of making a deal for a diamond ring he listed for sale on Craigslist. Instead, police say the Edgewood, Wash., 43-year-old watched his family beaten before he was shot and killed in cold blood.
James ‘Jim’ Sanders will be honored at the 1st Annual Father’s Day Festival.
Message from his family to Craigslist Sellers: Meet buyers at the police station, fire station, a public place.
