Katherine Ann Olson’s murderer was sentenced this week to life in prison without parole.  Katherine is a fellow St. Olaf College graduate, and the horrific story of her murder last year made national news.  Dubbed “the Craigslist murder” Katherine was responding to a Craigslist ad for a nanny when she was murdered in a suburb of Minneapolis.

Katherine’s family discusses the trial and sentencing in a video from the Today Show, but more important if you’re up in Minnesota is a link below to a website for the benefit concert her family and friends have arranged.

The benefit concert, May 3, 2009, 4:00-7:00 pm is at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, MN and features Storyhill, Romantica, Teatro del Pueblo, and Ann Reed.  The Olson’s have set up a scholarship fund in Katherine’s name with St. Olaf.
