from VfD:

This page was listed it on cleanup; I've done some work on it. However, I'm not sure if it falls within our purview. As one who lived in the area at the time, I can testify that this event got a lot of media attention. Not sure what long term effects it had, if any. No vote.

  • Strong keep, both for content and my belief that things should not be nominated for deletion unless it's clear to the nominator they merit deletion. siroχo 19:55, Oct 17, 2004 (UTC)

Article is a bit sketchy. I can't tell what led to the arrest of the two killers. Was it the dna chicken thing or the girlfriend's conefession? I thought the girlfriend came first and was confirmed by the dna, but I can't tell from the article, and I'm not sure. ThaddeusFrye 18:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I checked and confirmed my memory with <a href="http://venus.soci.niu.edu/~archives/ABOLISH/aug02/0482.html">the chicago tribune</a>, and edited the article accordingly. ThaddeusFrye 19:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reverted anonymous changes

An anonymous editor changed the article to say that the DNA match was a partial one and that the details cited by the girlfried were only "not known" to have been made public. Since these changes were made without citing and documentation, I reverted them back to the version of the story as it's been decribed in media sources I've seen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThaddeusFrye (talkcontribs)
