A serial killer who goes by the name of 'slavemaster' is using the Internet to lure victims to their deaths.

See the story here.

John Edward Robinson, Sr. did use the Internet pen name 'slavemaster' in arranging sado-masochistic encounters that sometimes ended in murder.

Law enforcement authorities investigating a missing person report discovered the bodies of two women in 55 gallon drums on Robinson's property in La Cygne, Kansas. Further searches discovered three more bodies in barrels in a storage locker rented by Robinson in Raymore, Missouri.

On June 2, 2000, Robinson was arrested for the murders of five women and is currently being held on $5-million bond. Law enforcement authorities are investigating other disappearances in the mid to late 1980s to determine if there are other victims.

Law enforcement authorities are investigating the disappearance of three other women and a child that may have involved Robinson.
