Semi Protected Edit Request 8/15/2022

In the introduction, I noticed the article reads “hanged herself”, when the correct grammar is “hung herself”. Can somebody fix that? 2602:306:3163:3130:C92C:8C2:54E9:EA5D (talk) 23:33, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Victims

His victims were not “young women”. They were “young girls”. One was 9 years old. And the men he targeted were specifically gay. 2604:3D08:178E:5900:41DE:8159:CAE7:99F4 (talk) 05:43, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

The article could use some updating

A few of the claims here use old citations and could very well be outdated, such as, for example, the claim that Amanda's mother is still being stalked to this day. ThrowawayEpic1000 (talk) 01:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Mainstream media section: heavy overuse of the New Yorker source

The commentary and quotations by the writer of the New Yorker op-ed takes up a ton of space in this article, giving what seems to be undue weight to the writer's views. The article copies and pastes chunks of the op-ed to the point where it's well beyond WP: OVERQUOTING. Even worse, it's two block quotes where block quotes are unnecessary.

I suggest that this entire media reception subsection can easily be a single paragraph and/or rolled into the parent reception section. Reference to the New Yorker piece can be a single sentence with in-text attribution. Open to other thoughts... Map42892 (talk) 04:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
