Summary

John Edward Robinson is a conman, grifter, embezzler, kidnapper, and murderer.

He would use classified ads to attract victims, but once the internet became commonplace in American homes, Robinson used it to find victims. Because of this, the media often refers to Robinson as “The Internet’s First Serial Killer.”
