Noble County, Ohio, November 2011: When Scott Davis emerges from a remote forest in 2011 with a bullet lodged in his arm, having survived a murder attempt, investigators uncover a deadly scheme to lure men with an online Craigslist job posting under the heading of "Handyman - Job of a Lifetime" for employment on a farm. The real motive for the job posting was to kill the men and sell their possessions for financial gain. Detectives were able to find two men who were responsible for the murders. The trials of the killers were held in 2013. A jury in Summit County, Ohio convicted Richard Beasley, age 52, of the aggravated murders of David Pauley, age 51, of Norfolk, Virginia; Ralph Geiger, age 56, of Akron, Ohio; and Timothy "Tim" Kern, age 47, of Massillon, Ohio. Beasley was also convicted of the attempted murder of Scott Davis, age 49, from Woodruff, South Carolina. The trial judge sentenced Beasley to three sentences of death. Beasley's accomplice was Brogan Rafferty, who was 16-years-old at the time of the slayings. Rafferty was tried as an adult and was convicted of three counts of aggravated murder and other crimes. Rafferty was sentenced to life with parole.
