[edit] DNA?

Okay where it says, "The DNA samples collected in 1987 were later subjected to a DNA analysis," I feel that is incorrect. In 1987 they would not have collected "DNA samples" since we didn't have that technology then. Simply, "The samples collected in 1987 were later subjected to a DNA analysis," would suffice. That said, I'm changing it. If I'm wrong, fine. Just please provide a source that states the samples taken were for DNA as the sentence implies. MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 22:14, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Silence of the lambs

86.18.80.97 (talk) 16:51, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Should this article mention the fact that he is an inspiration for buffalo bill in silence of the lambs?

I've never heard that he (rather The Green River Killer, as Ridgway was identified long after the novel and film came out) was a direct inspiration for the Buffalo Bill character - do you have a source? Gein was an inspiration for the flesh suit aspect (and Lecter's cannibalism), and Bundy was an inspiration for at least two things: feigning injury to abduct Catherine Martin, and consulting with him in order to catch another serial killer. In Bundy's case, the killer they were seeking his advice on was the Green River Killer, but that would be more of an inspiration for Lecter's character. If you can find a good source on this it should be added. Doc talk 17:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Picture request

It's a bit odd that the article for Americans most prolific serial killer doesn't have a single image. 202.171.168.178 (talk) 12:28, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

There was one here, and I'll look into it: but dealing with WP:FU images will burn you out quickly. Doc talk 12:46, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
