CALDWELL, Ohio (AP) -- A sheriff says a jobseeker from Florida has been found dead and another from South Carolina has been shot after they responded to a Craigslist ad for a job on an Ohio cattle farm.

Noble County Sheriff Stephen Hannum said Thursday two men were taken into custody after cadaver dogs found the body of the Florida man this week in a shallow grave in a remote area.

He says the search was undertaken after the South Carolina man escaped from the area Nov. 6 and notified police, who then found a grave they believe had been dug for him.

He says the two men had responded to a bogus listing for a job as cattle caretaker at a 688-acre farm. He suspects robbery was the motive.

The men's names haven't been released.
