Letters written by men who were killed after responding to a Craigslist job ad were read in court during day three of Richard Beasley's murder trial.

NewsChannel 5 reports the men responded to a listing that offered a farmhand job on a sprawling, 688-acre property in Caldwell, Ohio.

Corey Collins, an agent with FBI's cyber crimes task force read the letters in court Wednesday.

One of those letters was from murder victim Timothy Kern, of Massillon, who wrote an application letter through Craigslist in 2011.

"My name is Timothy, Tim Kern and I just turned 47 years old. I am single and reside in the Canton, Ohio area and I am completely available for your immediate relocation," he wrote.

Prosecutors said other men were called to the witness stand Wednesday, who say they met with Beasley about the online ad.

Daniel Dewitt said he was offered a job on the farm, but grew suspicious when Beasley seemed interested in his vehicles.

"I said that there's a lot of stuff that goes on, on craigslist and I'm thinking, 'What if somebody is trying to get my vehicles and come down there, and then when I get down there, shoot me?"

Dewitt told the jury he received an email  that explained he no longer had the job.

Two more men both testified they met with a man at Chapel Hill Mall in Akron to discuss the job posting. Both identified Beasley as the man who interviewed them.

One of the men, George Brown said Beasley seemed to lose interest in him after he explained that he was a former security officer and knows martial arts.

Beasley could get the death penalty if convicted for his role in the murders.
