Someone who calls himself Rick Obelophy posted an ad on Craigslist selling his supposed-to-be 4 year old son named Gavin for $5,000. The ad was immediately removed but a Spokane woman who spotted the ad and called the authorities was able to save a copy of the text but was not able to save the photo of the little boy.
The ad may just be a hoax or a cry for help but it could be something even more. The investigators have seized records from the site Craigslist to get more information about the ad and the person who posted it. Investigators haven’t found any record for a man named Rick Obelophy. It is a Class C felony for anyone to sell or buy a child in Washington and once proven, you can be punished for 5 years in jail and fined $10,000.
