10 Terrifying Social Media Murders

Social media can be great for connecting with friends and family. Incredibly useful for organising events, planning upcoming social gatherings, or just chatting with an old friend, social media has swiftly become a cornerstone of how we interact with the people we know and love. There is a dark side to these websites that we devote so much time to. Many are all too willing to freely give away incredible amounts of information about themselves, often open for the entire world to see. In other words, sites like Facebook can be a stalker's paradise. This list takes a look at ten times social media played a large part in the deaths of innocent people. From jealous ex-partners to psychotic killers that hunted down potential victims on Craigslist, here are ten truly terrifying social media murders.

10. David Sparre

Tiarra Pool and David Sparre met through Craigslist personals, arranging to meet up for a date after exchanging a few emails. Pool invited Sparre over to her house, but it soon emerged that Sparre wasn't interested in a simple night of romance. Upon arriving at Pool's home, David Sparre proceeded to stab her to death. After a lengthy search, Sparre was captured by police thanks to information gathered from Pool's mobile phone and computer. Sparre later claimed that he had "enjoyed it," and was sentenced to death by the Florida Supreme Court.
