[edit] The Photograph

Shouldn't the photograph be removed? Her identity is supposed to be protected and even if the BBC published the photo we don't have to show it. And who says the photo has no copyright, where does that come from? Anyways, I say the photo should be removed.Mackan 04:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

What you have to say doesn't care. Are you more concerned with the violation of copyright or with that bitch? 189.13.20.58 15:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Her photograph was splashed all over TV and newspapers for weeks. Her identity may be protected by law but I don't think see how her (then) image could be. David 23:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Did Carr get cosmetic surgery to help conseal her idennty? Besides there's no reason to hide photo or even her whereabouts, as wikipedia is not the british media. I wouldn't support adding it, but I think in theory we could. --Alan Алан アラン 14:05, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge/split from Ian Huntley

wow, first one to start the discussion page, personally, i think that they are both amazing ppl and they should be left alone to their own lives, they are entitled to be. anybody else who wants to join in the discussion is welcome.

Hmmm... I think Maxine Carr was a fool for what she did - she probably thinks the same herself - but she shouldn't be turned into Myra Hindley. Sorry, but no such sympathy for Huntley, who to my mind should have been already standing on a trapdoor with a rope around his neck when the jury announced the verdict.

Is there really enough here to justify an article separate from Ian Huntley? Unless there is some important information relating to Maxine Carr unconnected from Ian Huntley, I believe that it justifies, at most, a small section in the Ian Huntley article. Eorake 17:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. She is not exactly an important figure in criminology. Her crime had no bearing on the evil that came to the two little girls, and being manipulated by Huntley into providing a false alibi after the crime did not make her an accomplice to it. It is unlikely that we shall ever hear from her again in any major criminal context, she poses no threat (and for that matter never did). The only thing she is guilty of now is having a rather distinctive face, which is hard to forget or disguise. I say merge, and even then only mention her in passing as 'Huntley's then girlfriend, Maxine Carr'.

Manipulated? I was just under the impression that she loved (and thus, trusted) him. Just because he killed two girls, doesn't mean he has to have made her lie about it; she can act on her own accord, and he can commit acts that aren't always inherently evil. 81.77.103.131 17:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

She could be used as a jumping off point for the British press' insistence that every woman is either an angel or pure evil. J, 311859ZOCT05
