Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Lure: Fake Craigslist Advertisement

• Job Offer: Victims found an ad offering a caretaker job on a large, secluded Ohio farm – 688 acres, $300 per week, free rent and utilities.
• Scott Davis responded to this ad, seeking an opportunity to help his ailing mother by relocating and working a new job ([02:11]).
• Meeting “Jack”: Davis meets the man behind the ad, later identified as Richard Beasley, and Beasley’s “nephew” (actually Brogan Rafferty) at a Shoney’s restaurant before heading out ([02:57], [03:02]).
  • Quote (Scott Davis):
    “He gave me longitudes, latitudes, north, east, west... Everything was paid. And I'm like, it doesn't sound bad.” ([02:22])

Building Suspicion & The Attack

• Travel to the Farm: Davis notices odd details – road getting narrower, cell service vanishing as they near the property ([04:48]-[05:03]).
• Lured into Woods: Once isolated, “Jack” draws a gun and shoots Davis, who flees despite severe injuries ([06:17], [06:33]).
  • Memorable Quote (Scott Davis):
    “I said, what the is wrong with you? … I just ran for everything I had. I would get up and I would fall. He just keeps firing rapidly at me, pop, pop.” ([06:33])

  • Quote (Scott Davis):
    “I prayed and said, lord, I guess this is it. I'm coming to meet you.” ([07:11])
    “But I knocked on the door. This lady comes to the door. I explained to her what was going on, that I had been shot, and if she could call the police, and I was gonna need an ambulance.” ([11:05])

Investigative Breakthroughs

• Initial Skepticism: Responding officers doubt Davis’s story, suspecting criminal involvement on his part ([12:33]).
  • Quote (Scott Davis):
    “He said I was involved with a dope dealer… For some reason, the sheriff did not believe my story.” ([12:44])
• Evidence Provided: Davis has all emails and documentation with “Jack.”
• Ground Search: Davis’s information prompts a search, leading to the discovery of the bodies of past victims Ralph Geiger and David Pauley, plus Davis’s own intended grave ([14:33]-[15:05]).
  • Quote (Scott Davis):
    “They told me about my grave and it's not an easy thing. To handle that was a big shock to me.” ([15:05])

Victim Impact & Families

• Ralph Geiger: Lured by the same ad, shares excitement for the opportunity but is never seen again ([05:12]-[05:43]).
• David Pauley: Deb Bruce, his sister, recounts his disappearance and her growing panic, leading her to connect with police after seeing a news article ([10:33]-[13:55]).

    “He said, I love you, sis. And I said, I love you, bro. And that was the last time I spoke to David.” ([10:50])

Unraveling the "Craigslist Killer"

• Timothy Kern: Another victim, also down on his luck, answers the Craigslist ad and is murdered in the same fashion ([15:41]).

  • Quote (Prosecutor):
    “Monetary things or identities. I think that's all secondary to his drive to kill. The motivation to kill was that he wanted to kill.” ([16:06])

Arrest and Trial

• Arrest: FBI cybercrimes unit tracks the ad to Beasley and his accomplice Brogan Rafferty ([16:26]).
• Richard Beasley: Initially calm and evasive. Claims innocence, accuses Davis of being the real attacker ([17:23]-[20:36]).
  • Beasley’s Defense (Scott Davis’s Reaction)
    “You're a liar. I did not do that. He said that I was out to get him due to some motorcycle gang. I shot him instead of him shooting me, which is the farthest thing from the truth it could ever be.” ([20:36])

Justice and Aftermath

• Trial: Davis’s compelling testimony is central to securing conviction ([20:55]-[21:17]).
  • Quote (Prosecutor):
    “His details, his forthrightness helped from beginning to end.” ([21:17])
• Verdict: Beasley found guilty of multiple murders and sentenced to death ([21:26]-[22:32]).
• Confronting Beasley: Davis addresses Beasley directly at sentencing:
  • Quote (Scott Davis):
    “Beasley on November 6, 2011, he shot at me several times like I was a rabid dog. I laid in the woods for seven hours not knowing if I was going to live or die. You're a worthless monster. You can't lie your way out of this. You tried to rob me from one of the most important persons in my life, my mother. Shame on you.” ([21:53], [22:12])
• Resolution: Davis expresses relief and a commitment to resilience and healing:
  • Quote:
    “I'll never give up. I will crawl on my hands and knees to do whatever I gotta do in life. There's just no doubt about it. He took something from me. And every day I try to get it back. I don't stop.” ([22:58])

[Advertiser/Announcer]

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

Stuck a gun at the back of his head, pulled the trigger and shot

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

him in the back of the head.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

There's no doubt in my mind he's a psychopath.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

I have killed nobody. He's a damn devil itself.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Nobody had any idea that Beasley was actually on the hunt for his next victim.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

They went out to the secluded area.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

As soon as I spun around, I heard click. He just keeps firing. Pop, pop, pop. I just ran for everything I had. I was bleeding bad. Every bone was shattered in my arm. I prayed and said, lord, I guess this is it. I'm coming to meet you.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Any idea what we want to talk to you about? Nope.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

Start talking.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Well, we've got some major issues.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

Okay.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

We had some events took place down south of here. We got a guy that got injured. He's alive. And that's what we're here to talk about.

[Narrator/Commentator]

Real people who faced death and live to tell how this is. I survived a serial killer.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

My name is Scott Davis, and I survived a serial killer in 2011. I'm living in a little town called Woodruff, South Carolina. My mom wasn't doing the well and said she needed some help up in Ohio. I talked to her with my fiance. She said, why don't you go up there, be with your mom for a couple months. So I said, well, let me find a job or see what's going on. Someone told me, get on Craigslist, all kinds of jobs on there. And I just happened to run across the ad. It said 688 acres, $300 a week was just going to be me taking care of farm animals. Rent was paid, utilities were paid. Everything was paid. And I'm like, it doesn't sound bad. So I went ahead and applied for it. Then I heard something from this guy named Jack. He said that I had gotten a job.

[Narrator/Commentator]

Jason Mackey is a former detective from the Noble County Sheriff's Department.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

This was supposed to be a 644 acre cattle farm in southeast Ohio, and it was a caretaker's job.

[Narrator/Commentator]

John Bamel is an assistant Summit county prosecutor.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

This was an appealing job. You get to be in charge of acres of land that you can do what you want and get paid for it.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

Well, it sounded all good, being out there taking care of animals and, you know, being out by myself. That didn't bother me. I said, send me the address of this place so I can take a look at it, see where it is and everything. He gave me longitudes, latitudes, north, east, west. He gave me all that there. Plus I had the address and I didn't see there was going to be any problems. So I'm happy. So I packed up my motorcycle, my gun cabinet, my tv, and I got on the highway, got to the state of Ohio. First thing I did is I called this Jack guy. He told me they was down at Shoney's. I came in, I checked them out. You know what I mean? I'm thinking, okay, looked like farm people. Kid that was with him, he said it was his nephew. He says, man, get whatever you want. Steak, eggs, pull yourself up. Well, not to know that was going to be my last meal. Well, I probably should have got a steak right just after that there. He says, we'll go ahead and we'll take off. I said, okay, sounds good to me. So I got in my trailer for a minute to make sure everything was stabilized. And he looked, he said, his voice, there's a lot of nice stuff in here. I said, yep. I said, I worked hard for it. Before we leave the restaurant, he tells me that the road's washed out. My truck and trailer wasn't going to be able to make it down the road. He said, the three of us going to take his nephew's car. I said, okay, sounds good to me. We traveled down this road, and I'm watching everything as we go. Concrete road. We're checking out the nice rolling hills, the cattle. So I was told through the emails that there was no cell phone service out there. Got my phone in my hand as I'm watching it. I asked Jack, I said, where does this cell phone exactly give out at? He said, I'm not exactly sure.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

It turns out that Scott Davis is not the first person getting hired for this job.

[Narrator/Commentator]

Sherry Bevin Walsh is a Summit county prosecutor.

[Narrator/Host]

Ralph Geiger was a 56 year old Akron resident. We believe he was shot and killed sometime around August 9, 2011.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

Ralph Geiger was at a FAC for people who are homeless. The only thing we know is Ralph Geiger telling another individual who was living there that he had come across a great job opportunity to take care of acres of land and that this was going to turn his life around and how fortunate he felt that he was given this opportunity.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

He went out the next morning to the farm and he has never heard from him again.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

Everything at this point, still feeling good. Next, you know, the roads keep getting from two lanes down to where one car could get on the road. Then we get to Don Warner's road, and right when you get to Don Warner's road, that's when you lose cell service.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

We absolutely picked this spot because it's not near any houses, no cell phone service. We have trouble getting radio service there on our radio sometimes as we're driving down the road.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

He told his nephew, he said, just pull over there where we got that deer last week.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Once they arrive there, he and Jack get out. The nephew is told to go down the road and turn around.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

They went out to the secluded area, started walking.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

The woods are getting a little bit more dense and a little bit more dense. We got back in there quite a bit. He said, this must not be the spot. He said, well, let's go back up to the road. He says, it must be up the road a piece of. And no sooner than I turned around to go back out, I heard click. As soon as I spun around, the gun was already back up. I mean, there was no expression on his face. His eyes were just as black as coal. I mean, there was nothing there, period. Everything that's hit me all at once, he just keeps firing, pop, pop, pop. I said, what the is wrong with you? You know, I. I don't know that I'm shot at this point. I just ran for everything I had. I would get up and I would fall. I would get up, I would fall. He just keeps firing rapidly at me, pop, pop. I'm running up the hill just as fast as I can. I'm scared to death. There was a little stream and I realized I was bleeding bad. I got shot. The blood's running down the stream. I'm just like, I've had it. So I just put my head down and prayed and said, lord, I guess this is it. I'm coming to meet you.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

He just keeps firing. I yelled at him. I said, so does this still mean I got the job and started running? I fell over a cliff. It was all briars and brush and down I went. Now I don't know what's going on. I'm thinking, where's this guy?

[Detective Jason Mackey]

At the location where Scott gets shot, the topography is extreme. The elevation changes are dramatic. I would say most of this land has never been touched. It's a huge valley and it's uphill in every direction.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

All I could think of was just run, run, run. And I kept running. I'm thinking, okay, they're hunters. What if they have dogs? And when I hear these high powered rifles going off, I started running upstream. The water's cold because it's November. I'm soaking wet, I'm tired, I'm sick. I finally said, I gotta find a place to hide. I mean, I would know that if I had just shot somebody and they got away. I'm hunting them down. You're not leaving. Then I heard something walk towards the woods. I mean, it was very close. I could feel the vibration from it. And at that Point when it got that close, I just put my head down. I'd been at this place for six hours. I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm tired. I've lost a lot of blood. I'm just like, I've had it.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

This isolated spot, it was the best location to commit these crimes. It turned out that Ralph Geiger was not the only victim that Jack killed.

[Narrator/Commentator]

Deb Bruce is David Pauley's sister.

[Narrator/Host]

My brother David was living in Norfolk, Virginia. He had been out of work. October of 2011, David found the ad on Craigslist. So he was going to have to pack up everything and move to Ohio for the job. He told me that the man's name was Jack, that he was a preacher. He said, I love you, sis. And I said, I love you, bro. And that was the last time I spoke to David.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

I figured someone was going to come over that hill and shoot me. I prayed to the Lord, whatever it was, it walked away. And I heard it walk out same way it came in. The Lord answered my prayers on that one. I'll tell you big time, at this point, I can't use my arm. I lost a lot of blood. I'm cold. I was like, okay, if I stay here any longer, I'm gonna die. I gotta get out of here. And I'm like, what if I pop my head up and they nail me? But at this point, I had to lay down again. I'm so weak. I can't move. I've gotta lay down. There was just no more in me. I said, lord, this is it. I'm done. I just can't go anymore. I was freezing cold, and all of a sudden, warmth came over my body. The Lord was with me 100% and said, you're not done. Get up. It was going in my head. It was just like, get up. I ran for everything that I had. Finally, I ran into a farmhouse. So I'm looking at the driveway. There's three bows sitting there for hunting. I looked at those. I'm like, oh, geez. I really still don't know what's going on. This is a small town, you know? Could everybody be in cahoots? Because I'm still. I'm not right in my head. I don't know what's going on. But I knocked on the door. This lady comes to the door. I explained to her what was going on, that I had been shot, and if she could call the police, and I was gonna need an ambulance. And she says, I sure will. One police officer shows up. He hasn't believed in my story.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

When the sheriff called me, he told me that he suspected that Scott was there for some other nefarious activities and been shot and was basically trying to cover up whatever activity he was in.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

He's checking me for wants of warrants. He said I was involved with a dope dealer. I'm looking at it. I said, I'm telling you this is what happened. And he just keeps going on. I had never been through anything like that before. I've been through enough. But for some reason, the sheriff did not believe my story. And I'm thinking, these guys are hunters. What if they're still out there somewhere? The ambulance lady finally looked at him and said, this man has got to get to the hospital. When I was in the hospital, they haven't even gotten the bullet out of me yet. And he's calling my room. You need to get down here right now. You need to get down here. I'm like, man, I'm at a hospital. I've been shot. I said everything that I'm telling you, every email that me and this Jack guy had, I had them all with me. I said, all you got to do is go down to my truck. Everything that I've said with this man is documented.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Upon investigation. The next morning, within a few hours, I was able to call, corroborate a lot of what Scott Davis had said. At that point, it seemed to be an isolated incident. That all changed when we got a call from Deb Bruce.

[Narrator/Host]

I last spoke to David October 22, and by the 28th of October, I knew something was not right. He was a creature of habit and he would have found a way to give me a call or text me. I was pretty much at my wit's end. And then I came across the article that said, man shot promise of jobs, 680 acre farm. And I thought, oh, no. I searched for the Noble County Sheriff's Department and called Jason Mackey.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

We have one victim who shot and got away. And now we find out we likely have another victim that nobody's heard from for two weeks. I knew we had a major problem and we really ramped up the investigation at that point and we plan a ground search of that whole area where Scott Davis was shot. We end up locating the body of David Pauley and Ralph Geiger, which was within about 50ft of where Scott Davis was shot and within about 20ft of where they had dug a grave to bury Scott Davis.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

They told me about my grave and it's not an easy thing. To handle that was a big shock to me. Look at every day differently because you can be gone in a second.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

I followed up at the restaurant and I was able to get surveillance video of Scott and these other two people they had met with. And as we're investigating this shooting of Scott Davis, nobody had any idea that they. Jack was actually on the hunt for his next victim.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

Authorities have identified the body of an Ohio man who could be the third murder victim of a bogus Craigslist scheme.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Timothy Kern was a man that lived in the Akron area, had been down on his luck, had trouble with employment, but ultimately he responds to this ad on Craigslist. He takes the job.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

When he shows up, he has an old beat up vehicle which can barely drive. He has a television set, probably from the 1970s, and he has $5 in his pocket. His life was taken for absolutely no reason at all.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Monetary things or identities. I think that's all secondary to his drive to kill. The motivation to kill was that he wanted to kill.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

One of the biggest concerns was that there were a lot more victims out there and that they would go on and do it again and again. And that's when the FBI pick up this investigation.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

The FBI Cyber Crimes unit was able to do some tracking on where this ad was placed from using that new information, we were able to track and ultimately arrest Jack and his assistant, Rogan Rafferty, who it turns out was not his nephew. He admits to digging the graves, but Brogan claims that he was afraid of him and he never pulled the trigger on any of these crimes.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

They learned that Jack is a man named Richard Beasley. He was the one behind this killing spree.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

I had arrived on scene within minutes of Richard Beasley being taken into custody there. There was a detective there and he took me to a police car, opened the back door and said, get in. I was face to face with possibly a serial killer. What do you get about it? Do you prefer to be called Rick, Richard, or Rich? Okay. He was being very meek and playing the part that he needed to play, I guess. Any idea what we want to talk to you about?

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

Nope.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

We got a guy that got injured in Noble County. He's alive and well.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

My lawyer's name is. You want to talk to me? We're gonna have to do it through him.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

Police have 51 year old Richard Beasley in custody.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

Police believe they may have a new Craigslist killer on their hands.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

Federal and local authorities fear they are

[Narrator/Commentator]

dealing with a serial killer.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

My mom, she's trying to keep me away from the news, but she just broke down crying. She's like, oh my God, you're not gonna believe this, but that guy that shot you, he's a cellular killer. He just killed three people. That day was one of the most hardest days of my life. The thought never crossed my mind that he had ever done this to anybody else. She'd always say, can't happen to me. Well, it can happen to anybody. The Lord put me in a path to get that monster off the street. I wanted to make sure that he was never going to get out of jail again. I stay here today listening to the record. I have killed nobody.

We do have an indictment against Richard Beasley in the so called Craigslist killings.

[Detective Jason Mackey]

When Beasley was arrested and taken into custody, he did the same thing. I think he's done most of his life stuck with his story, turned on his acting skills and caught his way through the trial.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

Stuck a gun at the Back of his head, pulled the trigger and shot

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

him in the back of the head. You're a liar. I did not do that. He said that I was out to get him due to some motorcycle gang. I shot him instead of him shooting me, which is the farthest thing from the truth it could ever be, which we know. I stay here today listening to the record. I have killed nobody.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

We met with Scott for trial. I mean, you could tell that he was still rattled by the experience. But when he testified, he was very strong and he was stoic.

[Scott Davis (Survivor)]

When he was shooting at me, I see nothing in his eyes. He has no remorse for anything he'd done. He's still just as cocky as ever. Always snickering like it was nothing. Man, he's a damn devil itself.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]

Scott Davis's presentation at trial, how he came off on the witness stand, his details, his forthrightness helped from beginning to end.

[Narrator/Host]

Count one, indictment for aggravated murder with prior calculation. Indictments design. Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Indictment for attempted murder of Scott Davis, guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

[Prosecutor/Legal Expert]
