MINNEAPOLIS - A 24-year-old woman applying for a baby-sitting gig told her roommate that a person who placed the online ad "seemed kind of strange." But she went to the home anyway, thinking she might meet a couple needing her help.

Instead, authorities said, Katherine Ann Olson met Michael John Anderson. They say the 19-year-old lured her to the suburban home using the ad on Craigslist.org, shot her in the back and stuffed her into her car's trunk. He was charged Tuesday with second-degree murder.

"The life of a bright, promising young woman has been taken for absolutely no reason," prosecutor Pat Ciliberto said.

Anderson's attorneys had no comment.

"In a case like this, we'll just let the judicial process take its course," said Robert M. Speeter, a defense attorney.

Olson's body was found Friday, a day after she went to the home. Her body was in the trunk of the car, abandoned in a park about five blocks from Anderson's house in Savage, about 15 miles south of Minneapolis.
