A Life Stolen: The Shocking Murder of 3 men in Ohio || True Crime Documentary

Richard Beasley, a convicted serial killer from Akron, Ohio, exploited vulnerable individuals through fake Craigslist job ads, luring them into remote areas to rob and murder them. With a criminal past and a deceptive appearance as a pastor, Beasley preyed on homeless or unemployed men, promising lucrative farm jobs. His accomplice, Brogan Rafferty, helped him commit the crimes.

Scott Davis, one of Beasley's intended victims, narrowly escaped a deadly ambush in the woods after being shot. His survival led to the discovery of Beasley's operation. Investigators unearthed multiple victims, including Ralph Geiger, David Pauley, and Timothy Kern, all killed under similar circumstances. The case revealed Beasley's calculated approach: he targeted men who could disappear without raising alarms.

Beasley was arrested in 2011 and convicted of aggravated murder, robbery, and kidnapping in 2013. He received the death penalty, while Rafferty was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Beasley's retrial in 2020 reaffirmed his death sentence. Despite his claims of innocence, compelling evidence, including Scott's testimony, secured his conviction.

Scott’s escape was pivotal in stopping Beasley’s killing spree, preventing further tragedies linked to his fake job postings.
