I am so happy they caught the craigslist murderer. I was sick all day yesterday upset over this tragedy.

I am shooting Inside Edition today to speak out about this. The real issue here is how easy it is for men like this to prey on women via craigslist or even eros-guide.com. Girls working independently are perfect prey since no one is looking after them. Thats why you use an agency- to protect your safety!

As a former agency owner, I thoroughly screened all my clients. If they did not provide proper identifying information, they didn't get an appointment. Its as simple as that. I monitored the girl's time while she was in an appt. She called when the client got there and the clock started. If she was even 5 minutes over time- I was calling her. If she was 20 minutes over I'd start to worry. At the 35 minute mark, I'd send someone to where she was at to check on her. Never in all my years of operating a business have I ever had any violence occur.

What happened to Julissa is heartbreaking and I pray that we start to see the big picture here. This industry isn't going away so we need to change our laws to protect the women who are working in it. In this bad economy, I'm sure there are even more people venturing into this industry to make ends meet- many of whom are new and inexperienced. They don't know how to screen or verify clients and probably don't know how to handle problematic ones. They are what my attorney calls a "vunerable victim". Because of what they are doing they probably won't call the police so they are the perfect choice to victimize. Haven't we had enough?
