[edit] Questions regarding the Tape Recordings

I just completed reading Bob Hills' book about the Brenda Sue Schaefer murder "Double Jeopardy:Obsession, Murder, and Justice Denied" (copyright 1995) and I noticed two possible discrepancies with the Wikipedia article as presently shown.

1) The Wikipedia article says "Ignatow tape recorded what he did to Brenda and these recordings were later played to the jury. The transcipt is as follows..." but I see no mention of this tape recording at all in Mr. Hills book.

2) The Wikipedia article says (regarding the taped conversation between Ignatow and Mary Ann Shore) "However, he mumbled the word "dug" and the jury also thought he said the word "safe" instead of "grave" on the tape" but Mr. Hills book only suggests that the word "safe" might have been "site", never mentioning "grave" as a possibility.

Is there any way to confirm the accuracy regarding any of the above?

I completely agree. Much of what is said in this article as written is false or out of order. 1) no such audio tape existed 2)Brenda's body was found before the trial 3)Mary Ann Shore was not an immediate suspect. This is a terribly written page!

We need to add some references for this article. Hills' book would probably be one. RJFJR 17:53, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I added the Verify tag to the article in response to the concerns raised above. Part of the message requests citations to sources. RJFJR 18:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What was meant by this?
