[edit] The 1960 trap

I didn't see her actual DOB mentioned, and debated adding her year of birth as 1960 (given she was 25 in 1985), but decided against it because if her birthday is between October 31 and December 31 her year of birth would have been 1959. Did you happen to see it in a source? Anynobody 10:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

• I thought I saw it in a source, but at this point I'm not sure. I'll defer to your judgement on this one, your analysis seems most accurate here. Smee 06:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC).

I'm pretty sure I saw it too, but I remember it saying something like "...around 1960 when she was born..." and then thinking that they must not have known her DOB either. If not 1960 it'd have to be 1959 so I added both and put the article in the appropriate categories of missing info. I also added an image of the type of weapon she used, articles without images seem oddly "bare" to me. Anynobody 03:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mini-14?

Reading the Crime Library's article, it implies that the weapon was a Ruger 10/22, not a Mini-14. Additionally, that articles listed price of $107 is much closer to a modern retail 10/22's price instead of a Mini-14 (when adjusted for inflation).

Additionally, it says that "she had 10 bullets [rounds] left in one of her clips [magazines]". The Wiki articles differs slightly by saying "She had ten rounds left in her weapon's magazine.", implying she only had one magazine. --UnneededAplomb (talk) 06:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
