Police in Georgia are searching for a retired couple who disappeared after going to purchase a car from a seller they contacted online.
Vietnam War vet Elrey 'Bud' Runion, 69, and his 66-year-old wife, June Runion, drove from Marietta to McRae on Thursday to meet someone who had responded to a Craigslist ad placed by Bud seeking a 1966 Mustang.
Daughter Virginia Owens said she became suspicious after her parents failed to show up to babysit her children on Friday and didn't answer their cell phone.

Yeah, but the problem is not people coming to your house, but you going to some stranger"s house while carrying a fistful of Benjamins.
Well, they came to my house, a stranger and they had a fist full of Benji’s. Once I had two customers show up at the same time, both of them shoving benji’s in my face. Fora moment I thought it was going to be a brawl in my front yard. Easiest sale I ever made.
Amen, Laz!
THE MAN SAID:
NEVER meet a Craigslist (or even an Armslist / other gun site) seller or buyer without taking the following actions:
1) Meet in a well populated public area. Supermarkets, reputable convenience stores, whatever.
2) Carry. If you have no CCW, carry open in car. (Georgia law allows this, if your state does not, accidentally misinterpret the law.)
3) If you are selling a firearm, demand a faxed or scanned license image. Your excuse is that this is required to make sure the buyer is not an out-of-state buyer intending to cross state lines without the proper FFL processing.
4) If you have the slightest hinky feeling, call it off.
You and me both! There was something seriously wrong and frightening about that guy!
It doesn’t look good for that couple. Very sad!

Half of the people are below average in intelligence, and most of them have no clue about it.
I’m surprised at the number of people who will meet someone on CL in order to have sex.
Really? They can’t see how that might be a problem?
Thanks for the update.
They are the sellers.
I’m hoping he gave the cops a good reason to beat him to a pulp.
Sorry, I was wrong they were seeking a car. Anyway I understand they have been found dead.
Thanks for the update, sad news.
The worst fears have been realized. Prayers for their family and friends. RIP
