I don't really know how to edit, but the category is serial killers, and I did too cite sources in the article itself. Slow Death by Jim Fielder.

[edit] re-write needed, poor quality article

This article has spelling mistakes and a "discription" (sic) of a video where it's not clear if this is from a novelisation or what. It doesn't read like a police report or something that would be used for an encyclopaedia entry. One source alone is not sufficient, and phrases like "after that, it got ugly" is not NPOV or just the sort of style an encyclopaedia should use. As far as I knew, no true snuff films had ever been found by law enforcement agencies, but the events of this article contradicts that, so verification of this information is paramount.

I will try to contribute when I have time, but if anyone reads this in the meantime and has the inclination, please, re-write and verify the information as needed. - and you will know know me by the trail of dead. (talk) 04:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Really, the article is fine except for almost everything after: "by officers pursuant to search warrants. -Police search warrant, 4/13/1999" It's written in a completely different style, definitely non-encyclopedic, and is just bizarre. It reads like a spooky Halloween e-mail forward or something. I'm just going to delete the whole part since it barely adds any useful information even if you can get past the formatting. 68.100.128.43 (talk) 01:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
