Samantha was not born in Stanton, CA. Laggard
- It never says she was. It only says she lived there at the time of her death. TripleH1976 05:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
I quote directly:
"Born July 26, 1996 Stanton, California, USA"
Sounds to me like it says she was born in Stanton. Laggard
- Well, it wasn't I who put that in. I did contribute to some of the article. Someone else placed that box information. Do you know where she was born? TripleH1976 02:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
According to other sources (e.g., http://www.geocities.com/mantharunnion/1.html), Samantha Runnion was indeed born on July 26, 1996, but in Massachusetts (where her parents were living at the time), not Stanton, California. Her parents later split up, after which she moved to Stanton, CA with her mother.
[edit] Spelling of name
This is an unresolved issue. Google has far more entries for "Samantha Runnion" than for "Samantha Runyon". This does is just a hint. One would have to find some kind of an official document such as a court decision. If Runyon should be correct, then the article will have to moved, as it is now, it is inconsistent.

It's "Runnion." Laggard 19:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Samantha Runnion vs. Samantha Runnion murder
Before we get into a page move war or start calling people names, shouldn't we discuss this first? It is what the talk page is for. Personally, I'm looking at the entry currently titled Samantha Runnion and it really isn't about her, per se. It's about her murder. The only things in the article that are not about her rape and murder are her birth date and her name. Unless we can get some encyclopedic biographical information, I think the page should be moved to Samantha Runnion murder. AniMate 22:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Requested Move
I've put in a request that this page be moved to Murder of Samantha Runnion as this seems to be the preferred format on Wikipedia, if you look at articles like Murder of Kelsey Smith, Murder of James Bulger, and Murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. I'd think this move wouldn't be controversial, though there was a minor move/revert war between two editors over this proposal. AniMate 00:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Strong support and one that we should do, IMO, with every siongle murder victim in the project, SqueakBox 00:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
