2 arrests made in Ohio in suspected murder plot

CALDWELL — When a South Car­olina man answered a Craigslist ad seek­ing a farm­hand in Ohio, there was no job wait­ing for him. There was a freshly dug grave. The man was shot and wounded in what inves­ti­ga­tors say was a mur­der­ous rob­bery scheme that used bogus help-wanted ads to lure vic­tims. He escaped, but another job-seeker was later found dead in a shal­low grave nearby. And two sus­pects — a man and a 16-year-old boy — are under arrest.
