Portland Craig List

Remains of missing woman discovered

Portland police released few details about the disappearance and death of Elena Lozada, including where her remains were found. They said the state Medical Examiner's Office had identified the body and an investigation is ongoing.

Lozada's mother, Carrie Cronkite of Aroostook County, reported her daughter missing in July after not hearing from her for an unusual length of time.

Lozada, who had moved out of an apartment on Grant Street in Portland and was staying with friends, said she had plans to move to Boston, police said in December.

A website and Facebook page were dedicated to the search for Lozada. A prayer vigil was planned for April 29. Instead, a memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. that day at the Family Christian Center in Presque Isle.

In February, the Long Island, N.Y., newspaper Newsday reported that Lozada was a sex worker who advertised on Craigslist, and that her family thought police weren't urgently searching for her because of her history of illicit activity.

The article said police didn't know whether Lozada's disappearance could be linked to the deaths of four escorts, including Megan Waterman of Scarborough, who advertised on Craigs- list and whose bodies were found on Long Island in December.

Waterman was reported missing about a month before Lozada was. Less than a week after the bodies were discovered on Long Island, Portland police called on the public for information regarding Lozada's disappearance.

According to Newsday, the family members of Lozada and Waterman have been in contact. Neither family could be reached for comment Thursday.

Dean Lawrence, a friend of Lozada's parents who was at their home in Westfield on Thursday, said the family was notified by police Thursday morning about the discovery of Lozada's remains.

Lawrence said Lozada's mother and her stepfather, Randy Cronkite, were not ready to talk about their daughter or the circumstances of her death.

Lozada had three brothers and a sister, who will travel to Aroostook County from in and out of state for her memorial service next week, Lawrence said.

Portland police are classifying the case as an unattended death with suspicious circumstances, according to a news release from the department.

Maine State Police are assisting with the investigation.

Portland police said in the news release that they will provide more details about the case in the next few days.

Craigslist Portland Oregon - Search Craigslist in Portland

Need to find something? Craigslist Portland Oregon is a really terrific place to go. You can find just about anything your heart may desire at just about any price, clear down to absolutely free. It's a virtual potpourri of products and services that you filter by counties in the Portland area.

I've always found Craigslist to be quite the anomaly. Poorly designed, strangely named, but one of the most useful sites on the Internet. I've found free furniture, searched for apartment rentals in Portland, and even looked for jobs on the web site. And since it's local to you, you don't need to worry about shipping if the seller is right around the corner from you. Even big ticket items like homes and vehicles can be bought and sold there.

If you want to, you can sell your own stuff on the Portland Craigslist. Simply sign up for a free account, read the policies and rules (not abiding by their rules is a good way to get your post de-listed), drill down by county if you choose and then post. You can even add photos if you need to.

If you're into online marketing like I am, there are ways to leverage Craiglist to help you make money. I've used it in this way for a good numbers of years now and it's very effective.

There are a bazillion people who check into Craigslist Portland Oregon every day, so it's a fantastic free marketplace to take part in. As I said though, it's pretty clumsy to use and takes some getting used to. Here are a few Craigslist tools that people have created to make using the Portland Craigslist easier to use.

SearchTempest is one of my favorite tools to use. Much more attractive and easier to use than the raw Craigs List. You can search by distance from your location, so you're no longer isolated to an area. Give it a try. I think you'll really like it.

Pictures make an impact on me and I may end up deciding to buy or not, depending on the photos or lack thereof. If I'm looking for something to buy from Craigslist Portland Oregon, I like to see a photo. You can't do that until you click through to the actual post. ByeByeList is a mash-up tool that puts all the listings you've searched for in an eBay-looking setting. Much nicer to view the photos as you simply run down the listings.
